#
# EXAMPLE_TRIGGER.PY -- AN EXAMPLE PERFORCE TRIGGER FOR ENFORCING WORKFLOW
#
# Richard Brooksby, Ravenbrook Limited, 2000-12-06
#
#
# 1. INTRODUCTION
#
# This is an example Perforce trigger script for preventing changes
# to areas of the Perforce repository without certain defect tracker
# conditions being met [Requirements, 57].
#
# This document is intended for administrators of the Perforce Defect
# Tracking Integration (P4DTI).
#
# This document is not confidential.
#
#
# 2. USING THE TRIGGER
#
# First, read section 5.2.2, "Installing Perforce triggers to enforce workflow"
# of the "Perforce Defect Tracking Integration Administrator's Guide" [RB
# 2000-08-10, 5.2.2].
#
# To use this trigger, first adapt the code to make it test the condition
# that you want to enforce.
#
# This example script insists that submissions fix to status "closed" at
# least one issue which has a priority of "critical". This almost certainly
# isn't quite what you want, so you'll need to do some programming.
#
# You will also need to configure the P4DTI to replicate the fields that you
# want to check. Most likely you'll want to check that the "priority" or
# "severity" or something similar is above a certain level, or that the
# "approval" field has been set by a manager, or something like that. You need
# to make sure the relevant fields are replicated. See section 5.1, "P4DTI
# configuration" of the "Perforce Defect Tracking Integration Administrator's
# Guide" [RB 2000-08-10, 5.1].
#
# Be sure to read the "Triggers" section in chapter 6 of the "Perforce
# System Administrator's Guide" [Perforce 2000-10-11]. Then use the
# "p4 triggers" command to insert a line like:
#
# enforce-critical //depot/release/master/... "/usr/local/bin/python /whatever-path-to/your-trigger.py %serverport% root %client% %changelist%"
#
# Where "root" is a user which has access to Perforce without a password.
# (Or you could edit this script to include the password.)
#
# See "Perforce Defect Tracking Integration Administrator's Guide" for
# more information about this and other aspects of configuring the P4DTI
# [RB 2000-08-10].

# job with critical priority. It might affect other jobs as well,
