This send method creates a new issue on GitLab bug tracker (see demo).
A bug tracking system is a software application that is designed to help quality assurance and programmers keep track of reported software bugs in their work. It may be regarded as a type of issue tracking system.
Many bug-tracking systems, such as those used by most open source software projects, allow users to enter bug reports directly. Other systems are used only internally in a company or organization doing software development. Typically bug tracking systems are integrated with other software project management applications.
Having a bug tracking system is extremely valuable in software development, and they are used extensively by companies developing software products. Consistent use of a bug or issue tracking system is considered one of the "hallmarks of a good software team".
This method requires some preparation actions, before you can use it:
| 1. | You need to get server with Ruby installed (Linux/Unix) or use a hosting with similar requirements (gitlab.com). |
| 2. | (Optional) You need to download GitLab and upload it on server. This step is optional, if you use GitLab hosting services. |
Important note: EurekaLog uses JSON API to access GitLab. Make sure you have enabled remote access via API in GitLab options. Please refer to GitLab documentation for more information.
| 4. | You need to setup GitLab: |
| • | create projects (for each of your products). |
| • | create "reporter" account (warning: don't use administrator account for reporting issues). |
| 5. | Fill GitLab details in your EurekaLog-enabled application. |
You also need to setup sending options and test sending. To test send place a button, which raises exception. Let EurekaLog handle it and perform sending. Ensure that it's working as expected. Send report again to check how duplicates are handled. Adjust any options, if needed. Change status of issue to "closed" and retry sending. Ensure that it works as expected.
Advantages:
| • | Can be get as paid service with 0 setup time. |
| • | Setup options are easy to use. |
| • | Freeware for personal use/small teams/evaluation. |
Drawbacks:
| • | May be blocked by firewall. |
| • | Requires hosting OR web (http) server. |
| • | Requires setup for each your project. |
| • | Very limited setup options and access rights. |
| • | Does not support custom fields. |
