Interact with Issues

Since QuickBuild 4.0, you can retrieve issues via RESTful APIs. The base URI for changes RESTful APIs is:

/rest/{tracker}

Here, tracker is the type of your issue tracker, in QuickBuild, includes:

  • Jira - /rest/jira
  • Trac - /rest/trac
  • Bugzilla - /rest/bugzilla

below, we will use $baseURI to represent the URI: /rest/{tracker}.

List all supported APIs​

URIResponse TypeParams
$baseURI/helptext/html

Get the data version of issues​

URIResponse TypeParams
$baseURI/versiontext/plain

Get the size

URIResponse TypeParams
$baseURI/size/{configuration}text/plain* configuration - PATH_PARAM Specify the configuration. By default, specify configuration id here, if you want to specify a configuration path, you need add prefix PATH:, for example, PATH:root/My/DEV . SINCE 5.0.14, specify the configuration path directly, for example root/My/DEV, no need PATH: prefix anymore. * build - QUERY_PARAM The id of a specific build. * from_build - QUERY_PARAM Specify the from build when finding changes in a build range. * to_build - QUERY_PARAM Specify the to build when finding changes in a build range.

for example, below url will retrieve the count of JIRA issues in a specified build:

http://quickbuild:8810/rest/jira/size/PATH:root%2FMy%2FDEV?build=100

Since 5.0.14

http://quickbuild:8810/rest/jira/size/root/My/DEV?build=100

or find issue count in a build range:

http://quickbuild:8810/rest/jira/size/19?from_build=100&to_build=200

Retrieve the issues

URIResponse TypeParams
rest/jira/issues/{configuration}text/xml* configuration - PATH_PARAM Specify the configuration. By default, specify configuration id here, if you want to specify a configuration path, you need add prefix PATH:, for example, PATH:root/My/DEV. Since 5.0.14, specify the configuration path directly, no PATH: prefix any more. * build - QUERY_PARAM Specify the build id you want. * from_build - QUERY_PARAM Specify the from build when finding changes in a build range. * to_build - QUERY_PARAM Specify the to build when finding changes in a build range. * offset - QUERY_PARAM Specify the first record when iterate the records, by default, the offset is 0 * limit - QUERY_PARAM Specify the total records you want to retrieve, by default, the limit is 50 * asc - QUERY_PARAM Boolean type, specify order by issue key ascendent or descendent, by default, it is ascendent.

For example, below example retrieves the first 50 issues of build 100:

http://quickbuild:8810/rest/jira/issues/19?build=100

the response looks like:

<report name="issues" version="0.0" locale="en_US">
  <row ID="15" issueKey="TST-23" buildId="321" issueType="New Feature" summary="2-phase load components" status="Resolved" priority="Major" created="2011-06-03T14:58:47.445+08:00" updated="2011-06-03T15:27:39.418+08:00" resolution="Fixed" assignee="admin" reporter="admin" modifications="3">
    <changeIds>

    </changeIds>
    <repositories>hg,hg</repositories>
  </row>
... ...
</report>

Each row element is a record of an issue related to a specified build, the data structure is:

class Issue {
    Long ID; // No use, only used in QuickBuild internally
    String issueKey;
    Long buildId;
    String issueType;
    String summary;
    String status;
    String priority;
    Date created; // Formated in ISO8601
    Date updated;
    String resolution;
    String assignee;
    String reporter;
    int modifications; // related modifications
    String changeIds;  // related change set ids in CSV format
    String repositories; // related repository names in CSV format
