RFE: Number of comments by <LP ID>

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

I would love to see this option. For example:

$ bughelper --comments=65342
5

Of course, '5' is the number of comments the bug has.

I have seen Bug #79133, though I think this isn't possible with it.

Best regards
Emilio

Emilio,

Thanks for your report.

The above is possible using bugnumbers

$ bugnumbers -l https://launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/65342 --count

Will this suit your needs ?

[Pappan (ppadman)]

Sorry copy/paster error in the URL in the last message :)

You can use like this:

$ bugnumbers -l https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/65342 --count

That works, but it would be fine to have the ability of show the bugs in a known bug, as of this:
./bugnumbers --bug=89762 --count
3
or

./bugnumbers -l https://launchpad.net/bugs/89762
3

Is this possible?

Thanks
Emilio

My opinion on that:
for now the workaround like
./bugnumbers -l https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/65342 --count
should solve this.

In the future (r0.2?) we should think about a tool like "./buginfo" which gives us the information provided by the Bug-class for one special bug.
We also should move the "count-comments"-thing from the BugList-class to the Bug-class.

I understand "./bugnumbers" as an interface for the BugList-class with a list of Bugs as output.

Hello

Markus, your workaround doesn't work for me:
emilio@kiko:~/deb/bughelper/bughelper.main$ ./bugnumbers -l https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/65342 --count
No bugs found.

With bughelper.main branch up-to-date.

Any idea?

[Markus Korn (thekorn)]

Hello Emilio,
I'm very sorry, I should better start thinking before writing a comment! At the moment we are not able to get information on one special bug, so no workaround, sorry.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

No problem ;)

I'm opening the report again, because what I'm asking for is not possible atm.

[Markus Korn (thekorn)]

I added a program called "bugtool" to my branch https://code.launchpad.net/~thekorn/+branch/bughelper/bughelper.r01

Example usage:
markus@thekorn:~/prog/bugs/bughelper.r01$ ./bugtool --bugnr 88102 --comments
88102
Comments: 8
[('1', 'hggdh2', '2007-02-26 20:37:51 UTC'), ('2', 'dfarning', '2007-02-26 22:05:20 UTC'), ('3', 'dfarning', '2007-02-26 22:06:30 UTC'), ('4', 'dfarning', '2007-02-26 22:07:20 UTC'), ('5', 'ppadman', '2007-02-27 04:46:20 UTC'), ('6', 'dfarning', '2007-02-27 21:51:29 UTC'), ('7', 'dholbach', '2007-03-05 15:28:09 UTC'), ('8', 'dfarning', '2007-03-05 16:41:18 UTC')]

I do not know if that is what you expected.
Needs a lot of testing!

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Hey Markus
That's perfect!

That's what I need: in one hand, the number of comments. In the other hand, the author and the date of them. :)

Thanks a lot!
And I'm going to test it right now ;)

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Hi Markus

I've tested it, and it works really fine. Good work :)

But I have some questions:

Is it possible to output just the numbers of comments? (for a script).
For example:
bugtool --bugnr 89762 --number_of_comments (or something else)
10

And, also, is it possible to print just one comment, or even, a part of the comment (such as the author)?
For example:
bugtool --bugnr 89762 --comments=1
('1', 'ppadman', '2007-03-05 06:21:47 UTC')

bugtool --bugnr 89762 --comments=1 --author
ppadman

Thanks
Emilio

[Markus Korn (thekorn)]

Hi Emelio,
thanks for your suggestions. I added some options to my branch (r116)
Example usage:
* markus@thekorn:~/prog/bugs/bughelper.r01$ ./bugtool --bugnr 89762 --countcomments
11
* markus@thekorn:~/prog/bugs/bughelper.r01$ ./bugtool --bugnr 89762 --comment 1
('1', 'ppadman', '2007-03-05 06:21:47 UTC')
* markus@thekorn:~/prog/bugs/bughelper.r01$ ./bugtool --bugnr 89762 --comment 1 --author
ppadman

You can add the "-v" option to get a list of available comment-numbers if a comment no exist.
* markus@thekorn:~/prog/bugs/bughelper.r01$ ./bugtool --bugnr 89762 --comment 100 -v
available comments: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Wow!!

It's perfect :)

Another suggestion ;)

Is it possible a --date (like --author).

For example:
./bugtool --bugnr 89762 --comment 1 --date
2007-03-05 06:21:47 UTC

Thanks for your nice work.
Emilio

[Markus Korn (thekorn)]

Added --date option to my branch (r117)

Markus

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Works perfectly!

I was thinking also in "--comments last" to put the last comment, but it can easily done executing "--countcomments" and assinging the output to a variable, "lastcomment", and then execute "--comment lastcomment"

Looks finished to me.
Thanks a lot Markus.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Markus, you said we could name this tool as buginfo. What about changing it? (it looks more appropiate).

Everybody else: what about mergind this into bughelper.main?

Thanks
Emilio

[Markus Korn (thekorn)]

I renamed "bugtool" into "buginfo".
Also added a "--lastcomment" option to "buginfo".
Example usage:
markus@thekorn:~/prog/bugs/bughelper.r01$ ./buginfo --bugnr 89762 --lastcomment --author --date
pochu
2007-03-07 22:23:29 UTC

Markus

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Can anybody review it and merge it into bughelper.main?

Seems ok for me (and of course, works fine).

[Markus Korn (thekorn)]

patch against r109 of bughelper.main to add buginfo withe the option discussed in this bugreport
