Topic: Mingle General Discussion / Project variables

Hi Carl,

2.1 will be available the week of October 20th.

2.2 Available in December will have a documented plugin architecture for both SCM and for user-defined macros. In the meantime, if you would like to post any specific questions you have on the API Forum, we can help you through as best we can.

Cheers,
Adam

Topic: Mingle General Discussion / Project variables

Thanks Jen,

Any idea when 2.1? Also, will 2.1 provide a documented plugins architecture?

Topic: Mingle General Discussion / Developing Plugins

Hi,

Is there any documentation on how one would go about developing plugins for Mingle?

Topic: Mingle General Discussion / auto backup

Urs, Backing up the database and the files that Mingle stores should be enough. You can use standard tools to keep those backed up regularly.

Topic: Cruise General Discussion / Rake Arguments

Hi there.

I just double checked the code and you are exactly right as to the nature of the problem. We are, indeed, wrapping the target field in quotes. I’m going to file this as a bug.

In the meantime, the work around is to use the exec task.

This has now been resolved.

Topic: Cruise General Discussion / Subversion Revision environment property?

Hey Pat

We don’t. You would have to do an svn info as part of your build and capture the output. We do have a feature planned to incorporate the svn rev # into the label, which I guess will solve your problem.

Topic: Twist General Discussion / Secure Connection Failed

Thanks for the explanation Vivek. We are going to be using the recorder in part, so I’ll check out the certificate work around.

Out of interest are there plans to make the recorder work with Chrome?

Topic: Twist Feature Requests / What other drivers would you like for Twist?

- Maven (for Java)
- Rake tasks (for Ruby)

They should be able to drive Twist “out of the box”...

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / Have a User Defined messages for Transition Comments

Yes, I agree but that was only an example

Another one maybe “Call customer before closing this defect” etc.

Topic: Mingle General Discussion / auto backup

Hello

How can I configure the backup of mingle automatically?
I know I can export a project by hand, but this is not automatically.
I also can save the database form mysql. But is this enough? Are all the data in the Database?

Thanks for your help

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / [candidate] Git support

Hi Jake,

Don’s post is what I was referring to. Our friends at Relevance have taken the first cut at the plugin which is now available for contributions on Github. Please feel free to contribute:

Topic: Mingle Feature Requests / [candidate] Git support

Is this a thoughtworks plugin being opened up or are we still waiting for Adam to share something?

Topic: Cruise General Discussion / Rake Arguments

There are some rake tasks that I need to execute that require command line parameters (rake db:migrate VERSION=0, for instance). Similar to the “Nant Arguments” post, I tried setting the target attribute to “db:migrate VERSION=0”, but that’s not working. I’m guessing that behind the scenes, the target is encapsulated in quotes because I get “Don’t know how to build task ‘db:migrate VERSION=0’”.

Even though the Configuration Reference doesn’t indicate it, I tried doing ‘<rake args="VERSION=0" target="db:migrate" />’ (stealing the args attribute from the exec task in hopes that it would work), and ‘<rake target="db:migrate">VERSION=0</rake>’ (just as a shot-in-the-dark), but some kind of XML Schema validation stripped those extra pieces out when I clicked the Save link.

Right now, we’re using CruiseControl.NET, and I’m executing rake tasks through the built-in exec task. I’m thinking I might have to do something similar with the exec task in Cruise, but I would hate to have to do that when there’s a built-in rake task now. Am I missing something with Cruise’s configuration that could help?

Topic: Twist General Discussion / Secure Connection Failed

James, thanks for trying out Twist!

Under the covers, Selenium uses javascript to control the browser, and that means that for every web page served, the HTTP response has to be modified in order to inject Selenium’s javascript code.

Now HTTPS is designed to prevent the response from being modifed in any way, so the Selenium server generates dummy certificates. The Cybervillains certificate is actually bundled with Selenium. When Selenium is run in proxy injection mode, all HTTP / HTTPS requests are routed via the Selenium proxy server.

Basically, it is down to two choices:
a. If you’re using proxy injection mode, then the CyberVillains certificate will need to be imported, or, (the downside is that this is a potential security risk, do take a look at this page from the Selenium documentation).
b. If you’re not using proxy injection mode, then the Chrome option (which essentailly launches Firefox with elevated security privileges) should work.

(BTW, in case you’re using Twist’s recorder, the recorder currently works with Firefox in proxy injection mode)

Hope this helps!

Topic: Troubleshooting Installation of Mingle / 2.0 Upgrade problem - migration error

Hi Jason,

Our support people determined that the problem was that the Mingle database was a MySQL 6.0 database. Mingle will only run on MySQL 5.0 or PostgreSQL 8.1 or 8.2.

Topic: Mingle Bug Reports / Story list goes off of page

Hi

I apologize for the inconvenience that you’re experiencing. I have logged the defect and it will be fixed in the 2.1 release.

In the meantime, one possible workaround is to use the drag and drop feature on the tree view to set the Story parent for a Task.

thanks

Topic: Twist General Discussion / Secure Connection Failed

I’ve been trialing Twist and I’ve impressed so far. My Java experience is limited, but my primary language (C#) is enough like it for me to get up and running quickly.

My initial Twist project is using Selenium and Firefox and I’ve just switched over one of my tests from using HTTP to HTTPS, but I’m now getting the following issue:

[my server name] uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)

When I try to add an exception, the certificate that it’s trying to use isn’t the correct certificate. It appears to be signed by CyberVillainsCA.

Note: I’m using a self signed certificate.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Topic: Cruise General Discussion / Subversion Revision environment property?

Hi,

Just wondering if Cruise automatically puts the Subversion revision number as an environment variable. I’d like to include it as part of the build process, putting both the cruise pipeline and the subversion revision number into an artifact.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Topic: Twist General Discussion / Run tests under multi-window mode

Hi Andre,

At the moment we support configuring a limited subset of the Selenium properties. Currently, the proxyInjectionMode flag, browser and port are configurable via the “twist.properties” file. We are working on adding more configuration options.

Have you tried running your tests in the Proxy Injection mode? The MultiWindow option is typically used when you’re not running Selenium in Proxy Injection mode.

In case it’s not possible for your tests to be run in PI mode, do let us know, and we’ll do our best to help you out.

Topic: Mingle General Discussion / "Resource Management?"

Lisa,

What I have managed to do, is use the Iteration card itself to do some “capacity” reporting. I enter the number of developers available during a iteration, and calculate the amount of capacity, b multiplying it with a constant.

To plan from a resource level, if you team is small, you could try the following:

1. Add each team member as a property to the “iteration” cards. Enter how many hours they are available in this iteration. This can then be summed up using a formula property on an iteration card, and rolled up into you Release
2. Using Cards for each team member – this would mean you need to add team members to every iteration. Each team member can go add into the card the number of days he/she is available during this iteration(into a property) , then you can roll up this metric (you would have to create a Tree: Iteration -> Team Member)

Hope this is helpful, let me know if you would like any more information

Topic: Mingle Bug Reports / Mingle no longer tracks SVN revisions

The Mingle team recently acknowledged that there is a bug, and that it will be fixed for 2.1. In the meantime, don’t use SVN subdirectories if you are running into problems with revision tracking.
