| Title: | new jobs break TeamTrack integration if LASTMODIFIEDDATE or SUBMITDATE are replicated |
| Status: | closed |
| Priority: | essential |
| Assigned user: | Nick Barnes |
| Product: | p4dti |
| Organization: | Ravenbrook |
| Description: | In the TeamTrack integration, if either of the fields LASTMODIFIEDDATE and SUBMITDATE are replicated (i.e. are in the replicated_fields configuration parameter) and the P4DTI is set up to replicate new jobs (i.e. replicate_job_p is defined to return 1), and a new job is created without filling in these fields, the P4DTI fails. The failure is reported like this: 2002-04-05 14:39:41 UTC (P4DTI-9082) Job 'job000007' could not be replicated to the defect tracker. 2002-04-05 14:39:41 UTC (P4DTI-9093) The replicator failed to replicate Perforce job 'job000007' to the defect tracker, because of the following problem: 2002-04-05 14:39:41 UTC (P4DTI-891X) Error (TeamShare API error): ERROR: 'Submit Date' field requires a value. 'Last Modified Date' field requires a value. Invalid field values for submit |
| Analysis: | This was found while investigating job000437. The translator is putting -2 into the date slots, which is the TeamTrack code for a NULL date. But TeamTrack won't accept this when creating an issue. The solution is to extend prepare_issue_advanced so that if one of these slots has -2, it gets deleted. Then TeamTrack fills in the current date for these and the job gets updated appropriately. |
