Generic instructions for other source code control systems

If your source control system is not listed in this article, you can still integrate it with FogBugz. There are two aspects to source control integration:

1. Getting your source control system to transmit changes to FogBugz
2. Getting FogBugz to provide links to a URL that shows diffs and history logs from your source control system

Getting your source control system to transmit changes to FogBugz

You need to install a "trigger" script in your source control system to notify FogBugz whenever a check-in occurs that is related to a particular bug.

The way these scripts work is they send the check-in information via HTTP to a FogBugz ASP page named cvsSubmit.asp, using a URL like: 

http://your.fogbugz.server/cvsSubmit.asp?ixBug=bugID&sFile=file&sPrev=x&sNew=y&ixRepository=RepositoryID

Where:

• bugID is the FogBugz bug number
• file is the source file that is being checked in
• x is the previous revision number
• y is the new revision number
• RepostioryID is the ID of the repository you create in FogBugz. You can get this value from the New Repository dialog (see below).

Alternately, you could write a script that notifies FogBugz by using a data access library such as ODBC or OLEDB to insert a new record directly in the table named CVS containing the above four values. You can view your FogBugz database schema at http://your.fogbugz.server/?pg=pgSchema

Getting FogBugz to Provide Hyperlinks to Your Source Control Viewer

Log into FogBugz as an administrator and go to Admin | Source Control. Click Create New Repository. In the resulting dialog, select Other (custom) as the type and give the repository a display name. Click Next.

Under Diff URL, enter the URL of your source control system diff viewer.

In this URL, ^FILE will be replaced with the file name, ^R1 will be replaced with the old version number, and ^R2 will be replaced with the new version number.

Under Log URL, enter the URL of your source control system history viewer.

In this URL, ^FILE will be replaced with a file name for which FogBugz wants to display the history.
