NAME

WebService::FogBugz::XML

SYNOPSIS

use WebService::FogBugz::XML;

# Config generally read from ~/.fb.conf
my $fb     = WebService::FogBugz::XML->new;

my $case   = $fb->get_case(1234);

DESCRIPTION

WebService::FogBugz::XML provides an OO interface to the FogBugz XML API. You can use this to search for cases, change what you're working on, etc. It's particularly useful to build external reporting on development activity.

Documentation for the API itself is here: FogBugz XML API Doucmentation

CONFIGURATION

Configuration is expected to be found in ~/.fb.conf. If it's not there, you'll be prompted for url, email and password. The password should not be stored in the file, since it's only used to generate an auth_token.

Example config file:

url = https://www.mysite.com/fogbugz/api.asp
email = my@email.com

The URL should probably end in api.asp.

An auth token is stored in ~/.fb_auth_token. This is a persistent login key. Once this exists, neither email nor password are required again.

There are attributes available for email, password and url on the object itself, but it's a bad pattern to hard code a password ever.

ATTRIBUTES

config_filename

Where to find the configuration file.

Default: ~/.fb.conf

token_filename

Where to find and store the auth token file.

Default: ~/.fb_auth_token

url

The URL to the fogbugz API. Should include the protocol, and the full path to the api. e.g. https:://www.mysite.com/fogbugz/api.asp

The email address to logon to Fogbugz with

password

The password address to logon to Fogbugz with

token

METHODS

get_case ($number)

Fetches a case from fogbugz.

Returns a WebService::FogBugz::XML::Case object.

INTERNALS

logon

Called when there's no token present. You shouldn't ever need to call this.

Log out of the fogbugz service.

get_url ($cmd, $args)

Retrieves an arbitrary command. Accepts a hashref of arguments.

TODO

Many more methods to wrap up for convenience.
