org-jira.el

[Bao Haojun]

Hi, all

I have implemented org-jira.el, bringing org-mode and Jira system
together.

Wrote a Wiki page for it on emacswiki:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/OrgJiraMode

Hope somebody find it useful, if he/she is also using Jira and loves
org-mode.

I had never heard of Jira, but your work definitely looks very promising.
IMHO, it should be compared with org-x and its extension to Redmine, among
others.

But this triggers, for me, another "concern" which is the very wide variety of
ways to define the same thing.

Let's just take how we represent who's gonna be assigned a task:

- In most examples we see on the Net (or in the Org manual), people use tags
  with person names (or abbreviations).

- In your case, you mirror what's done in Jira (I guess) and you introduce a
  property "Assignee".

- In Org issues (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-issues.html), some tasks are
  given a property "Who" to indicate who has to work on them.

- In tasks used for interacting with TaskJuggler, one uses a "Resource-Id"
  property.

- Still another approach is used by Juan Reyero in his advertised "Org-mode
  tricks for team management" (see [1]), using a combination of TODO todo
  keywords for his own tasks, and TASK keywords for tasks assigned to members
  of his team.

All of this makes it hard to have one independent Org file, and be able to
cooperate with external tools (like Jira, Redmine, TaskJuggler and others) on
a "on demand" approach.

You want a Gantt chart?  You need to add (or rename) "Resource-Id" properties.

Now, you would like a Web-based Bug Tracking system?  Too bad: you need to add
(or rename) properties "Assignee" or ...

So, my point is: wouldn't it be better if we proposed standard properties in
Org (in the manual), and implemented mappings in the Org "integration"
packages (org-jira, org-taskjuggler, org-redmine and the like)?

So, say for example that, from now on, it's more standard in Org to use
"Assignee" (or anything else) for representing who's assigned a task, and have
every package map the property "Assignee" to whatever keyword used in external
tools for representing that concept?

If we do such,

- we _do not impose anything_ (everybody is still free to represent this task
  the way he wants, be it properties or tags)

- we ensure an easy transition to use any external tool for those that used
  the "to be defined" standard properties.

Best regards,
  Seb

Thanks for the praise! Jira is a "commercial" issue tracker, but it also
seems to be OSS friendly (by allowing OSS community to use the software
for free; Apache is using it, see http://wiki.apache.org/general/ApacheJira).

Likewise I had not heard of org-x and Redmine, thanks for letting me know.

I can see your point, that standard thing is good, if it's already here,
I will definitely try comply to them.

But your worrying people need to transition from one system such as
org-jira to another such as org-x, I think they are not very
often. Because if it happens, it would mean that the COMPANY/COMMUNITY
has decided to switch from Jira to Redmine, can you imagine how often
that can be?

Besides, even if that really happens, it would also mean the
COMPANY/COMMUNITY has got a way to transition from Jira to Redmine, so
there would have already been a way to transit from org-jira to org-x:
org-jira -> Jira -> Redmine -> org-x (and vice versa).

So my point is, if someone try to make transition easy, they should do
it on the company level, such as from Jira to Redmine. Org mode feels
kind of personal to me, and I feel good enough to be able to sync
between company issue tracking system and my org-mode, no need for it to
be able to transit to another issue tracking system's org-mode.

Thanks for your proposition.

I will let others express their own meaning, but, seeing your answer, I wanted
to recalibrate what I expressed.

You're right we could understand my proposition as being an easier way to
change between bug tracking systems. But not only that.

I gave the example of Task Juggler: wouldn't it be nice to be able -- at any
point in time -- to generate a dependency graph through Task Juggler, while
being able (at the same time, without touching anything) to get the tasks
maintained in, let's say, Redmine (which does not offer a Gantt chart
functionality IIRC)?

So, the question is not really about switching from one system to another, but
more about using 2 (or more) systems in parallel... While the former may be a
rare occurrence in a project, I guess the latter is more a common wish.

Best regards,
  Seb

It shouldn't be necessary for the org-mode user to learn 'How Haojun 
thinks about ticket systems' to use jira, and then also learn 'how 
[someone] thinks about ticket systems' to then use the (imagined?) TRAC 
integration.

It should be enough to understand 'How org-mode thinks about ticket 
systems'.   Unfortunately, in order to do this, it is necessary for 
org-mode to have an opinon. :)   Which it doesn't, yet.

I'd say that this issue is a HUGE one for the future of Org-mode. It
is ubiquitous to users all over. I myself had troubles adopting
org-contacts[1][2] because of only one single email property defined. 

When I started developing software that *massively* converts user
data into Org-mode format[3], I felt this strange itch, whether my
property definitions are well chosen or not ...

I *love* the fact that Org-mode is so lightweight and so heavy the
same time - just as the user wants it.

But using conventions also has some drawbacks. Whenever someone
wants to define a certain format with properties for example, she
has to define her own way. If there is an Org-mode extension using
similar data, users woun't notice until some data show up on this
list and another Org-mode user is adding a hint.

So a free-to-use recommendation list of standard properties would be
*very* fine.

Part of my research work is in the field of information architecture
for personal information management. If I can be of any help in some
kind of discussion and definition process, I'd be glad.

Agreed.  Please feel free to start it on Worg -- that's exactly 
the kind of documentation where we need several contributions.

On top of such recommendations, we could have a notion of 
"property name alias" -- if Alice uses "Assignee" while Bob
uses "Owner", they can share an alias Assignee--Bob and read
eachothers files transparently.

Same for importing/exporting date into/from Org files.

Since your org-jira.el relies on jira2.el, maybe you could rename
it to org-jira2.el?  Note that we have contrib/lisp/org-jira.el 
already, avoiding names conflict would be great.

Just a suggestion.

The current contrib/lisp/org-jira.el is pretty trivial: it just defines
a jira link type, so maybe it can be integrated into the new org-jira.el,
instead of having two of them lying around.

Agreed.  In the same vein, perhaps jira2.el and jira.el could be merged
into one single library.

Agreed. I have not looked into org-mode source code yet, so do not know
about contrib/lisp/org-jira.el, but I think it is the same one on
emacswiki, which has been abandoned by its author. So, it will be
trivial to merge its functionality.

You are also right that jira2.el and jira.el can be merged,
theoretically. The jira2.el, as a library, is a superset of jira.el in
terms of functionality, since jira2.el uses soap, while jira.el uses
xml-rpc; and soap is better supported by jira than xml-rpc.

The difficulty lies in that jira.el is also a major mode (in addition to
providing the library for the major mode). To make sure backward
compatible will require some effort. Jira2.el, OTOH, has stopped to be a
major mode, and only provided library for (the new) org-jira.el.

Anyway, I will try to update jira.el and contact the original author to
see if he agrees.

Re: org-jira.el

Wow Bao!  I am just checking out your org-jira2 project right now...

Your thing was what my thing (contrib/lisp/org-jira.el) was going to
become when I got the time... Then I got put on a project that didn't use
Jira, and abandoned it (as mentioned earlier).

So yea, Bastien, Bao, and anyone else for that matter, go ahead and do
what you like with that trivial piece of code. Rename it, delete it, fold
it into the new library.


Ironically enough, years later, I am back on a project that does use
Jira.. :)

I have merged it. Now the jira link type will be opened by
org-jira-mode, jumping (retieving first if not done already) to the org
heading tracking the issue specified in the link.

By the way, do you mind if I keep using the name org-jira.el? org-jira2
is not a good name just as jira2 is not.

Adding "2" to a name leads to hellish issues in the future with regards
to peoples understanding of which is the newest. js-mode is a great
example of this and the numerous "2" versions lurking around.

Possibly clean the code and include org-jira if possible and name it
"jira+" or even better replace the + with something relevant to why it
actually exists above and beyond the existing code.

Just a suggestion ;)

I agree with Richard, especially with regards to js-mode.

Merging the contrib/lisp/org-jira.el with the new org-jira.el might be
a good idea
if the contrib one is just implementing a jira link.

We use Jira at my work, so when I get back to the office I plan to try out both
and see what may work.

This will be great for keeping track of issues.  I already use Emacs
to edit the confluence
wiki that we have, now I can do the same with Jira issues as well.

Sorry, must be because I'm using emacs24. I will look into it and get back.

I have fixed it. The auth-source-search is a new API from emacs24.

With the new code, you will be prompted for username and password if you
are using a lower version of EMACS.

BTW, I have also renamed jira2 to jiralib, so after you check out the
new code, you need change your .emacs accordingly:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq jiralib-url "http://jira-host")
(require 'org-jira) ;jiralib is not explicitly required, since org-jira will load it
#+end_src

Thanks.

Hi Bao Haojun,

I finally discovered the error, I was using an anonymous proxy server
and JIRA apparently did not return the correct xml.

Does not work in emacs, but in emacs 24 enabling the debug managed to
capture the error::

  (let ( (url-request-method "GET") (url-package-name                )) 
  (let ( ("soap-client.el") (url-package-version "1.0")              )) 
  (let ( ((url-mime-charset-string "utf-8;q=1, iso-8859-1;q=0.5")    )) 
  (let ( ((url-request-coding-system (quote utf-8))                  )) 
  (let ( ((url-http-attempt-keepalives nil)) (let ( (buffer          )) 
  (let ( ((url-retrieve-synchronously url))) (with-current-buffer    )) 
  (let ( (buffer (declare (special url-http-response-status))        )) 
  (let ( ((if (> url-http-response-status 299) (error "Error         )) 
  (let ( (retrieving WSDL: %s" url-http-response-status mime-part    )) 
  (let ( ((mm-dissect-buffer t t))) (unless mime-part (error "Failed )) 
  (let ( (to decode response from server")) (unless (equal (car      )) 
  (let ( ((mm-handle-type mime-part)) "text/xml") (error "Server     )) 
  (let ( (response is not an XML document"                           )) 

... then disable the proxy, start using emacs and execute
org-jira-get-projects got the list of projects and then some issues.

Excellent work, I hope that the error messages to help correct for
emacs23 org-jira.

Finally I would like to know where to change the path for the projects,
actually: /home/.org-jira

Thank you very much!
I'll stop now copy and paste from jira to  org-mode. ;-)

Great!

I was also using proxy through setting the url-proxy-services variable,
and the org-jira.el does not work. After some googling around, I found
that url-proxy-services supports disabling proxy for some hosts:

(setq url-proxy-services 
      (quote
       (("http" . "localhost:8580")
        ("no_proxy" . "^[^.]*$\\|sina.com"))))

(just in case you don't know this already:-)

For the org-jira save path, I will make it a defcustom.

Thanks!

Hi Carsten

A little while ago I submitted a little fragment of a program to allow jira:<number> links.  I wanted to take it a little further, so you could store the link of the currently viewed Jira ticket, but I have since moved off of the project that requires Jira usage, so I don’t really have any reason to keep going with it.   At any rate, there was some talk about adding it to the org-contrib section when it is finished, and I just wanted to give you the heads up that it’s okay to put it in the org-mode contributed dir as it is.

Cheers, and thanks again for org-mode.  Seriously, this is the single most useful emacs package EVAR.
