Question

I have an application written in Python and I'd like to redirect errors into FogBugz so I can better-manage bugs introduced in a given push. How do I do this?

Answer 1

You can get Python sample code on the FogBugz Extras page under Developer Tools. Use it to create cases via the XML API, which has an option for making a case a BugzScout case.

Answer 2

Here's how you do it by talking directly to the ScoutSubmit address.

import urllib
import urllib2

url = "http://localhost/FogBUGZ/ScoutSubmit.asp"
args = {
    "ScoutUserName": "FogBUGZ User Name",
    "ScoutProject": "Existing Project Name",
    "ScoutArea": "Existing Area Name",
    "Description": "Description",
    "ForceNewBug": "0",
    "Extra": "extra info",
    "Email": "customer@emailaddress.com",
    "ScoutDefaultMessage": "html Default Message",
    "FriendlyResponse": "1",
}

request = urllib2.Request(url, data=urllib.urlencode(args))
response = urllib2.urlopen(request).read()
print response

Make sure to adjust the various fields to suit your setup.
