Processing Subversion commits via Plugin

Subversion plugin can be used to update entities in TargetProcess. You can update entity states and time spent/remaining as you enter comments when doing an SVN commit.

To set up the SVN plugin, go to Settings → Plugins, and add a new Subversion Integration profile:

Then, you need to map SVN users and TargetProcess users:

As soon as the profile is created, TargetProcess will import SVN revisions starting from the revision # you’ve specified. This can take several minutes.

You can track the import status in the log:

Now, as you do an SVN commit, just add a comment in any of these formats:

• Change defect states:
  #ID (or id:ID) state:fixed
• Add comments to defect:
  #ID (or id:ID) comment: text of your comment here
• Add time spent only:
  #ID (or id:ID) time:1
• Update time spent and time remaining:
  #ID (or id:ID) time:1:12
• Update several defects at a time:
  #ID (or id:ID), #ID (or id:ID) comment: will not be fixed state: invalid time:0.5

In this example, as soon as the commit is done, the status of the entity with ID=266 will be changed to Done, and the comment "Should be included to the current release," spent time = 1 hour and remaining time = 2 hours will be added to the entity.

You can see all the updates from Subversion in the Source tab:

For more details on the changes, just click the Diff link:

Make sure you enter comments in the correct format as shown above. Neither comments, nor time entries, nor the states will update if the format is incorrect.
