Deleting / Closing a Project

[Prakash Purushotham]

Hello all

I am in the process of evaluating this absolutely fantastic code-review software. I am unable to Delete / Close a project. I have enabled

@project_states = ('Open', 'Closed', 'Deleted');

run install.pl

and restarted apache (leaving no stone unturned).

I still do not see the Delete/Closed options.

I enabled the same at the topic level and that works magnificently.

Appreciate any cues...

Best regards

Puru

Hi,

This works fine for me.  I just tried it with 1.9.9 and had this in my codestriker.conf, like you:

@project_states = ('Open', 'Closed', 'Deleted');

This value wasn't over-written further down in your codestriker.conf file?

You should see a dropdown on the "edit project" page, where you can update the project's state.

Cheers,
David

Hi David

Thank you for your prompt response. Are there other parameters that need to be set to get the project states?

I have admin privileges - 1 in the admin field against my email.

Snip from codestriker.conf.

# The following controls project configuration.  Each Codestriker topic is
# a member of a specific project.  Uncomment the option you want
# below.  Note the textual state names below cannot be changed.

# Default option, projects are enabled, but they have no state
# changing operations (ie, projects are always in state 'Open').
# @project_states = ('Open');

# Don't use projects at all.  Effectively, an implicit "default
# project" is created and associated with all topics behind the scenes.
# @project_states = ();
#
# Allow for projects to be closed.  Closing a project will
# not allow new topics to be created in that project.
# @project_states = ('Open', 'Closed');

#
# Allow for projects to be deleted.  This is potentially a dangerous
# option to allow, as deleting a project will delete all of its member
# topics as well.  Use with caution.
# @project_states = ('Open', 'Deleted');
#
# Allow for projects to be closed and deleted.  Use with caution.
@project_states = ('Open', 'Closed', 'Deleted');

Does it make any difference if you comment out $admin_users?

Also - can you send me a screenshot of the edit project page?

[Prakash Purushotham]

Hello David

Thank you for your prompt response.

Here is the link to the screen shot.

There is no difference in behaviour, when I comment out admin_users.

[David Sitsky]

So now click on the "Code Striker Evaluation" link - can you then send me a screenshot of that screen?

[Prakash Purushotham]

Hi David

Not sure what changed ...

I now have the pull-down with Open/Closed/Delete Project to the left of Update Project.

Previously I would  get only the Update Project button.

Did commenting and uncommenting admin_users help? ... I am not sure. That was the only modification I made.

Thank you for your help.

[Prakash Purushotham]

Perhaps I spoke too quickly

the Default Project still does not show the pulldown.

Does it point to some rights issue as the Default Project existed before the admin/users were created?

[David Sitsky]

I don't think it is related to $admin_users - but please test it out.

For some reason, the default project is special.. it can't be deleted.  However, you can rename it to something else.
