A number of Test Run users, and wannabe users, use Jira, a bug tracking tool created by Atlassian. Jira is unique among other bug tracking systems in that the bug IDs it produces are not exclusively numeric. This made it difficult, if not impossible for those using Jira to integrate with Test Run's bug tracking capabilities.

So last night we released a few changes to enabled Test Run users to enter bugs into the system that can be any arbitrary string. So Jira users: rejoice. Test Run now works even better for you.

A complete change log for Test Run version 1.04 follows:

  • Added ability to log non-numerical bug types specifically so that I could support Jira per a customer's request.
    • modified upgrademap for schema changes
    • created new sql upgrade files to support addition of necessary columns
    • added SCHEMAVERSION global var, which is now different than the public display version of Test Run
    • new column added to loggedbugs: bugid_str
    • bugid column in loggedbugs now obsolete
  • Actual/discrete version of Test Run now properly displayed in the footer
  • Fixed minor bug associated with building the "edit" link for a test case.
  • Fixed a number of bugs having to do with failing test cases and the display of the fail case dialog
    • fail case dialog did not always appear as a Yahoo UI dialog, sometimes was an alert
    • the log bug form did not always disappear properly when failure of case was canceled.
    • fixed egregious bug left over from testing where when you failed a test case it always logged a bug with the id of "100" no matter what you entered in the input box
