That's right - only one apache instance is required, but each
Codestriker instance has a separate entry in apache's config.

Somebody actually did this already, and documented the steps on this
mailing list.  Could be worth searching the archives for it.

  To be sure I understand this correctly, each distinct project would
need to have an exclusive database instance and a distinct
codestriker.conf, but I would *NOT* need Apache virtual hosting or
(horrors!) multiple Apache instances?  So I could still use one
machine (I'm planning on using a Linux vmWare image as my Codestriker
server, all components on that same image)?

The only requirement is that each deployment has a separate
codestriker.conf file to work from.. unless they all share the same
config, which doesn't seem to be the case here.

You'd need separate DB instances, otherwise the topics from different
groups will be mixed up.  This is another reason, why each
codestriker.conf needs to be separate for each project, as this is
where you specify the DB instance.

David

  I was planning on a fresh installation of Codestriker for different
groups, one using Subversion, one using Perforce, one using CVS and
another one using Subversion.

  All of these should be separate/distinct to the developer/QA
engineer; the other instances being invisible.

  I was wondering about virtual hosting of Apache to achieve this.

  Your reply seems to suggest that I need different deployments of Codestriker.

  Is my situation significantly different than Thorsten's?

  Anyway, the same database can be used for multiple Codestriker
instances? Or should there be a unique trio of Apache, Codestriker and
database (MySQL or Posgresql ,or Oracle) for each product group?

Thanks,

The only way it is possible today, is to have multiple Codestriker
deployments within apache, and assign permissions at the apache-level.
 This can work if your number of projects is small.

There is a notion of a user in the system today, but I haven't put in
per-project authorisation support in yet.

[Codestriker-user] Assignment developer/project

[Thorsten K. <Tho...@Na...>]

Hi,
currently we are evaluating codestriker (version 1.9.10) and up to now, it's fits very good to our needs...
But nevertheless, we have one requirement where I'm not sure if codestriker fulfills it...
Is it possible to restrict the users view to the topics of a particular project? e.g. developer A should only have access to topics of project 1, developer B has only access to topics of project 2, ...
In short word: is it possible to assign a developer to a particular project?
Thanks in advance for any comment!
Best regards,
Thorsten

Re: [Codestriker-user] Win 2003 IIS - HTTP 400 Bad Request

[Surya C. <sc...@ic...>]

Hi David,
   Had the same issue. After spending few hours and patching up some issues,
have the system working. Below are the list of changes.

My Environment:
IIS 6.0 on Win2003
Oracle - 11.1.0.6.0
Activestate - 5.10.1.1006

I setup new IIS Website at 9020 port, with following details:
root - C:\Inetpub\codestriker-1.9.10
  codestriker (virtual dir) - C:\Inetpub\codestriker-1.9.10\cgi-bin
  codestrikerhtml (virtual dir) - C:\Inetpub\codestriker-1.9.10\html


Changes:

1) $query->url():
$query->url() was not giving complete url, it was just giving base
URL("http://myserver:9020). This was a major issue, as $query->url() was
used in multiple places. I experimented with CGI module and eventually found
$query->url(-path_info=>1) to give the correct url :
"http://myserver:9020/codestriker/codestriker.pl". I changed it in following
files:

codestriker-1.9.10\lib\Codestriker\Action - Authenticate.pm, CreateTopic.pm
codestriker-1.9.10\lib\Codestriker\Http - Method.pm, Response.pm,
URLBuilder.pm

 URLBuilder may need changes in more places. There were calls to
query_string->url(..), but I was not sure if those calls need changes.

2) Environment path:
perl was giving 'Can't load Oracle.dll for module DBD::Oracle'. Commented
out the line that was clearing the PATH in codestriker.pl
Changed following line in 'codestriker-1.9.10\cgi-bin\codestriker.pl'

3) tempfiles:
Despite giving all permissions to 'Network Service', 'IUSR_MYSERVER' ,
execute_command in CodeStriker.pm was failing to run 'svn' client. I changed
the 'if' condition so that execute_command runs 'open3'. (The change was a
quick fix, need to put a better condition)
   In CodeStriker.pm, the file path had a mix of "/" and "\" as directory
separators. Suspecting that they could be a problem, I used
'File::Spec->catfile', to get correct path. The change did not help, but am
leaving the changes as it is better for platform independence.


Attached are the changed files. I am attaching complete files, instead of
diffs (don’t have tools to get the unified diff on windows). I am a newbit
to Perl, so some of my changes may not be clean. 

Cheers,
Surya

[Codestriker-user] Win 2003 IIS - HTTP 400 Bad Request

[Surya C. <sc...@ic...>]

Hello All:

    I followed the installation instructions and setup Codestriker 1.9.9 . I
have setup two virtual directories 'codestriker' and 'codestrikerhtml' under
'Default Website'.

 

When I goto the URL :

 

http://localhost/codestriker/codestriker.pl

 

I get 'HTTP 400 Bad Request'.  In log files, I see that the URL tries to
redirect to following URL :

 

GET /login/form/redirect/http:/localhost/codestriker/codestriker.pl

 

And that throws the 400 error (its trying to goto root directory instead of
some kind of /codestiker/....   kind of url). Did I do something wrong in
the setup?

 

TIA,

Regards,

Kash

 

[Codestriker-user] Codestriker 1.9.10 released

[David S. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

Codestriker 1.9.10 has been released, and you can grab it from
http://codestriker.sf.net.  I've included the changelog below.

Cheers,
David

Version 1.9.10

* Implemented "log out" action.

* Implemented another corner case with Subversion diffs for handling
  empty file entries.

* Fixed issue where duplicate bug IDs specified on topic creation would
  prevent the topic from being created.

* Added new configuration option in codestriker.conf for setting the
  List-Id header for all emails sent, to assist in filtering,
  particularly for gmail.  Also added -i parameter to
  commit-email-codestriker.pl script to specify the List-Id header
  value to use.

* Support for integration with Mantis bug tracking system.  Code was
  implemented by Gustavo Silva <gra...@de...>,
  <sil...@us...> with support from Dextra
  Technologies <http://www.dextratech.com>.

* Support for git repositories from Jeffrey Middleton
  <je...@gm...>.

* Fixed "Parallel View" links for ClearCase repositories, from
  Thomas Yan <ya...@ne...>.

* Make the message ID in Codestriker emails RFC 2822 compliant.

* Changed usage of email References and In-Reply-To headers so that
  email threading will occur at a comment/issue level rather than a
  topic level.  This should allow for better management of outstanding
  issues in email clients such as gmail.

* Implementation of email gateway in bin/codestriker-email-gateway.pl,
  which allows for comments to be added to a topic by simply replying
  to an email.

* Added support for creating Perforce topics given the path (module_name),
  and either two labels or changelists for the start/end tag fields,
  from Arun Jose <jos...@us...>.

* Added support for creating ClearCase Dynamic topics by specifying
  a filename in the module field, and either a single version number
  in either the start or end tag fields, or specifying two versions
  using both fields, from
  Lakshmivaragan <lak...@us...>.

Re: [Codestriker-user] Help required in configuring Clearcase for Code-Striker

[David S. <dav...@gm...>]

That's it exactly.  If you add &format=xml to the CGI parameters,
you'll get an XML response of the list of topics coming back, which
you can stuff into some perl objects.

Then you could write a script to work off this.  I can give you hand
(off list) if you need more help.

Cheers,
David

Re: [Codestriker-user] Help required in configuring Clearcase for Code-Striker

[Pramodh <pra...@wi...>]

Hi David,
Can you please elaborate a bit more on this. Are you suggesting that we need
to create a function in CodestrikerClient.pm which retrieves all the open
topics and then use this function in a cronjob to send out emails?

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Pramodh,

Somebody recently asked about this too.  I asked him to update
CodestrikerClient.pm so that it could retrieve a list of topics, and then do
whatever custom logic was required.  That way, you could make this a cronjob
script, and send out nagging emails.

I haven't heard back from him yet.. although he seemed keen to do it.
I don't think it would be that hard to implement.

Re: [Codestriker-user] Help required in configuring Clearcase for Code-Striker

[David S. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi Pramodh,

Somebody recently asked about this too.  I asked him to update
CodestrikerClient.pm so that it could retrieve a list of topics, and
then do whatever custom logic was required.  That way, you could make
this a cronjob script, and send out nagging emails.

I haven't heard back from him yet.. although he seemed keen to do it.
I don't think it would be that hard to implement.

Cheers,
David

Hi David,
I just gave a demo to some of our people in our office & they all liked the
tool. They have appreciated the effort put in by you and your team to come
up with such a tool and also make it open source so that others like me can
use it. Thank you for that.

I have a query though, this came up in one of our discussions here:
Is it possible to sent up a remainder process in the code-striker tool so
that if the reviewer hasn't completed the review in a specified number of
days, an automatic remainder mail can be sent by the tool. Is there such a
mechanism? How difficult will it be to have such a setup?

You can copy the codestriker.conf file from your 1.9.9 install to your

If you are already logged in, then there will be a log out link.  If you

Hi David,
Thanks for that suggestion, that did the trip. My path was not correct.

But I am still not able to get the log-in option enabled in the latest
version [screenshot attached]. I am getting the same in the older version
1.9.9 but not in the latest version [1.9.10 test 1]!! What am I missing

Hi Pramodh,

Your repository is 'clearcase:dyn:codestriker:/view', so any diffs you
create, should start with /view in the path names inside the diffs.
If that is not present, then Codestriker will assume the diff is from a
different vob/view, and won't display the Parallel links.

If you create diffs as specified in the manual, then it should work fine.  I
am not a ClearCase user, so I can't really help you any more than what is

Re: [Codestriker-user] Help required in configuring Clearcase for Code-Striker

[Pramodh <pra...@wi...>]

Hi David,
Thanks for the response. I installed the version "1.9.10 test 1" & still I
am seeing the same behavior. I have attached the snapshot of the view when I
click on a topic which is created.

As you can see I am not able to get the parallel option enabled in this
view, so I don't know what the problem is. Is there a place where
codestriker logs all the messages? I see http_output being used for
displaying error messages. Is it going to get displayed on the browser
itself, or is there any other place where any log messages are stored.

I did go through the apache log messages in /var/log/httpd/error_log, but I
didn't find any thing strange other than an error related to RSS feed [even
though I haven't enabled it]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
codestriker.pl: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at
/var/www/codestriker/codestriker-1.9.10-test1/lib/Codestriker/Http/Method/Li
stTopicsMethod.pm line 54.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------

Please let me know if you need any more information on my setup.

One observation regarding the module ctcmd perl module. While running
install.pl for the first time I ran into some problem as I didn't had this
perl module, but it downloaded it & had some issues with "make test". But I
did a forced installation & after that it went through fine. Now I get the
following message while running install.pl 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
Checking for ClearCase::CtCmd (any)     ok: found v1.06
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
But if I run a sample program with this module, it gives an error saying
that this module is not in the path [something related to @inc..]

One more observation regarding this new version is that the log-in option
has been removed!! Is that something done intentionally? Any specific reason
for removing that option?

Regards
Pramodh

Firstly - are you using 1.9.10 test 1?  There have been some Clearcase fixes
since 1.9.9, so please upgrade first if you haven't already.

Secondly - what happens when you click on the Parallel link?  Do you see an
error message?  If so, what is it?  You might also need to check your apache
error log file for more details.

[Codestriker-user] Help required in configuring Clearcase for Code-Striker

[<pra...@wi...>]

Hi,
We are trying out code-striker tool for establishing an online-review process for our team. In this regard we need some help in integrating clearcase with code striker. 
 
Here are the configuration changes we have made:
1. our repository uses dynamic views and therefore we have included the following line in codestriker.conf file.
 
     'clearcase:dyn:codestriker:/view'
 
where "codestriker" is the name of the view we have created [a default view, through which the codebase can be accessed] & /view is the mount point where this view gets mounted. so basically the path will be /view/codestriker/.../.../ for the source.
 
2. Modified the name that gets displayed accordingly
 
$repository_name_map =
{
    '/home/sits/cvs' => 'Local CVS',
    'clearcase:dyn:codestriker:/view' => 'Clearcase',
    ':pserver:sits:pas...@cv...:/cvsroot' => 'SF CVS'
};

But if I click on the topic created, the diff is not able to talk to the clearcase using the above configuration changes & it just shows the contents of the diff file only. 
 
Please let me know what am I missing here. Does the dynamic view module requires any other configuration? I am running the apache server in the "user1" context and I have verified that the "user1" is able to talk to the clearcase & do a get of a file.
 
Regards
Pramodh

[Codestriker-user] Codestriker 1.9.10 test 1 release

[David S. <dav...@gm...>]

Dear Codestrikers,

I've put up a 1.9.10 test release I'd love people to download and try
out.  I've included the changes below.  You can downloda this release
from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/codestriker/files/.

Cheers,
David

* Implemented "log out" action.

* Implemented another corner case with Subversion diffs for handling
  empty file entries.

* Fixed issue where duplicate bug IDs specified on topic creation would
  prevent the topic from being created.

* Added new configuration option in codestriker.conf for setting the
  List-Id header for all emails sent, to assist in filtering,
  particularly for gmail.  Also added -i parameter to
  commit-email-codestriker.pl script to specify the List-Id header
  value to use.

* Support for integration with Mantis bug tracking system.  Code was
  implemented by Gustavo Silva <gra...@de...>,
  <sil...@us...> with support from Dextra
  Technologies <http://www.dextratech.com>.

* Support for git repositories from Jeffrey Middleton
  <je...@gm...>.

* Fixed "Parallel View" links for ClearCase repositories, from
  Thomas Yan <ya...@ne...>.

* Make the message ID in Codestriker emails RFC 2822 compliant.

* Changed usage of email References and In-Reply-To headers so that
  email threading will occur at a comment/issue level rather than a
  topic level.  This should allow for better management of outstanding
  issues in email clients such as gmail.

* Implementation of email gateway in bin/codestriker-email-gateway.pl,
  which allows for comments to be added to a topic by simply replying
  to an email.

* Added support for creating Perforce topics given the path (module_name),
  and either two labels or changelists for the start/end tag fields,
  from Arun Jose <jos...@us...>.

Re: [Codestriker-user] CodeStriker multiple files uploading

Hi Sreenivasa,

Only a single file, however a single file diff format can contain
multiple file entries in it.  Your SCM's diff command will support
this.
