Redmine importer that works with trunk.

Redmine Issue Importer¶ ↑

User documentation for this plugin is at github.com/leovitch/redmine_importer/wiki.

This plugin is functional now, including in multiprocess environments. The plugin has been tested on Redmine 1.1, 1.2.0, 2.2-stable, 2.3.2 (report by Jérôme BATAILLE) and 2.6.0.stable. The database is used for intermediate storage.

To install:

• Prerequisites: Unless you are using ruby-1.9, you’ll need the fastercsv gem (gem install fastercsv as root). Versions 1.4 through 1.5.3 are tested.

• Download the plugin to your ‘plugins/’ directory. Be sure to maintain the correct folder name, ‘redmine_importer’.

• Run rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

• Restart your redmine as appropriate (e.g., ruby script/rails server -e production)

• Go to the Admin/Projects/../Modules

• Enable “Importer”

en, de, zh, pl, pt-BR, ru and ja localizations included. The other localizations are up to date, but the zh is a little bit behind. If anyone could update it, it would be appreciated.

redmine_importer's Issues

too many error messages leads to ActionDispatch::Cookies::CookieOverflow

I think this is happening:
Every flash_message (when a user is not found or something) is added by Redmine to a _redmine_session cookie. When this cookie grows too large, the CookieOverflow Exception is raised.

Possible solution:
Don't show the errors as flash messages, but in summary report template.

Error updating parent issue only, without importing childs

Environment:

• Redmine version 2.3.3.stable
• Ruby version 1.9.3-p194 (2012-04-20) [x86_64-linux]
• Rails version 3.2.13
• Environment production
• Database adapter Mysql2
  Redmine plugins:
• redmine_better_gantt_chart 0.9.0
• redmine_gsc_plantillas 0.1.0
• redmine_importer 1.2.2
• redmine_issue_templates 0.0.8
• redmine_wiki_extensions 0.6.5
• redmine_wiki_lists 0.0.4
• sidebar_hide 0.0.5
• traceability_matrix 0.2.3
• wiki_issue_fields 0.4.3

Context :

• I am trying to import a list of issues in order to update them.
• This issues already exist in database, and some of them have children
• The tracker type of parent issues is different of the tracker type of children issues (lets say parents issues are "feature" and children are "defect")
  • I am only importing (thus updating) the parents. Not the childern

Behavior :

• Issues that have no children are properly imported, and updated.
• When the first issue that have a children is meet, it causes a failure that stops the importing process.

Result and Logs :

• The result web page shows an "Internal Error" message
• The log file shows :

Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 568ms

NoMethodError (undefined method >' for nil:NilClass): app/models/issue.rb:159:increate_or_update'

• With my debbuging environment, I found that the failure appear in file importer_controller.rb
  ligne 489 "unless issue.save"

Question is :

• is it a mis-use or mis-understanding of myself ?
• does your plugin need an update ?

Error updating existing issues, Redmine 3.1 (solved)

I was not able to update existing issue during import.

In the file production.log in the folder \redmine\log, I noticed the error :

NoMethodError (undefined method `project_id' for #<Issue::ActiveRecord_Relation:0x0000000f0c64a8>):
  lib/redmine/sudo_mode.rb:63:in `sudo_mode'

After investigation and debugging session, I have located the problem in the file importer_controller.rb, line 141

140   if unique_attr == "id"
141       issues = [Issue.where(:id => attr_value)]
142   else

The type of the array "issues" is Issue::ActiveRecord_Relation, instead of Issue, which I whould expect. That is the reason why, afterward, I get the error undefined method `project_id'.

Solution :
I have modified the source code as follow.

140   if unique_attr == "id"
141       issues = Issue.where(:id => attr_value).to_a
142   else

It is working normally now.

Redmine 3.2 bug

Dear Sir,

Hope you are doing well.

I have tried your plugin and it is working great for importing new issues.

But when trying to use the Update Issue feature and hit the submit button; i get this page is not working "HTTP ERROR 500"

Kindly your support.

Thanks.

more user fiendly error handling

Please make the error handlung more user friendly.
If "no" file for uploaded is selcted, either when cliking on the import button shall show an user undertstandable error message like "you habe to select a spread sheet in csv format for import first" or even the button shall be disabled as long there is no file selected.

Furthermore the plugin shall check for format of the file uploaded, and show an user undertstandable error message if the format is wrong instead of a general rails apllication error.

Update and new records problem

I am unable to both update old issues and add new ones from one textfile containing both existing issues and new ones. Looks like I have to identify the the new issues and import them from a file without existing issues.

My issues in Redmine have a user-defined field to hold a unique issuID from an external system. I want to update old issues in Redmine and add any new ones from the external dataset. Apparently this is not possible.

I match the "Select unique-valued column" with the column for the corresponding user-defined field.

If I check "Update existing issues" I get a warning for the new record (Warning: Could not update issue 1 below, no match for the value OJ015781 were found), and the new issue is not added. The existing issues are updated.
I would expect this behavior if I check "Ignore non-existant issues", but this also happens when this is unchecked. Only the warning is ignored.

If I dont check "Update existing issues" all records are imported as new issues, leading to duplicated issues in redmine for the existing "unique" external issuID.

Is this a bug, a missing feature or am I missing something?

Checkout and merge with similar plugin redmine_importer
