Testlink & Mantis Integration

[amar_patekar]

Hi All,

I have installed Testlink & Mantis, both are working fine.
Now i am trying to integrate them, but after some changes to following i still cannot see any option to click on link or to add bug id.

config.inc.php
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/** [Bug Tracking systems] */
/**
* TestLink uses bugtracking systems to check if displayed bugs resolved, verified,
* and closed bugs. If they are it will strike through them
*
* @var STRING TL_INTERFACE_BUGS = ['NO', 'BUGZILLA', 'MANTIS', 'JIRA', 'EVENTUM']
* NO : no bug tracking system integration
* BUGZILLA : edit configuration in TL_ABS_PATH/cfg/bugzilla.cfg.php
* MANTIS : edit configuration in TL_ABS_PATH/cfg/mantis.cfg.php
* JIRA : edit configuration in TL_ABS_PATH/cfg/jira.cfg.php
* TRACKPLUS : edit configuration in TL_ABS_PATH/cfg/trackplus.cfg.php
* EVENTUM : edit configuration in TL_ABS_PATH/cfg/eventum.cfg.php
*/
define('TL_INTERFACE_BUGS', 'MANTIS');
require_once(TL_ABS_PATH . 'lib/bugtracking/int_bugtracking.php');
$g_interface_bugs='MANTIS';



config_db.inc.php
<?php
// Automatically Generated by TestLink Installer
define('DB_TYPE', 'mssql');
define('DB_USER', 'testlink');
define('DB_PASS', 'testlink@2008');
define('DB_HOST', 'Devsss');
define('DB_NAME', 'testlink');
?>

custome_config.inc.php
<?php

*
* config.inc.php
* cfg\const.inc.php

$g_interface_bugs='MANTIS';


mantis.cfg.php
//Set the bug tracking system Interface to MANTIS 0.19.1
//also tested with MANTIS 1.0.0.a3

/** The DB host to use when connecting to the mantis db */
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_HOST', 'localhost');

/** The name of the database that contains the mantis tables */
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_NAME', 'Mantis');

/** The DB type being used by mantis
values: mysql,mssql,postgres
*/
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_TYPE', 'mssql');

/** The DB password to use for connecting to the mantis db */
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_USER', 'Mantis');
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_PASS', '*******');


define('BUG_TRACK_DB_CHARSET',"windows-1250");
// define('BUG_TRACK_DB_CHARSET',"gb2312");
// define('BUG_TRACK_DB_CHARSET',"UTF-8");

define('BUG_TRACK_HREF', "http://localhost/mantis/view.php?id=");

/** link to the bugtracking system, for entering new bugs */
define('BUG_TRACK_ENTER_BUG_HREF',"http://localhost/mantis/");


also did some changes in bugzilla.cfg.php


Mantis(config_inc.php)
$g_hostname = 'devssss';
$g_db_type = 'mssql';
$g_database_name = 'Mantis';
$g_db_username = 'Mantis';
$g_db_password = '*******';
# --- anonymous login -----------
# Allow anonymous login
$g_allow_anonymous_login = ON;
$g_anonymous_account = 'Ama_Pateka';

Please check and tell me if i am going wrong anywhere.
I have browsed through testlink & mantis forums but no concrete solution is found.

Please help me as i have to show this integration to my manager ASAP.

Regards,
Amarr

go to sourceforge, testlink download area, and download xampp lite with TL and mantis preinstalled, with integration enabled

[amar_patekar]

Hi Fman,

Will try that and get back to you, just one question though.
Should i download & do changes in some files or download xampp lite with TL and mantis & install them again.

Thanks & Regards
Amarr

[fman]

using xampp you will get ALL you need:
apache,mysql,etc to run TL and Mantis.
This (I hope) will help you.

[amar_patekar]

Alright but have you checked the file changes that i have mentioned above.
Just incase i have messed up something.
I am asking you this because in my firm to download a software there are n no. of approvals that i have to take which takes sometime.

Thanks & regards
Amarr

/** The DB host to use when connecting to the mantis db */
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_HOST', 'localhost');

Why there is localhost and not Devsss? It should make authentication problem.

[amar_patekar]

Changed it as well to Devsss but still not working

Hi Amar,

Changes to be done in TestLink PHP files:

In mantis.cfg.php:
What you have done is correct. Even I have done the same.
The only 2 things which I have done differently are:

1)
//define('BUG_TRACK_DB_CHARSET',"windows-1250");
// define('BUG_TRACK_DB_CHARSET',"gb2312");
define('BUG_TRACK_DB_CHARSET',"UTF-8");

This is because I am using MySQL and it has UTF-8 CHARSET.

2)
/** link to the bugtracking system, for entering new bugs */
define('BUG_TRACK_ENTER_BUG_HREF',"http://localhost/mantis/bug_report_page.php");
?>

In custom_config.inc.php, I have added these lines:

<?php
$g_interface_bugs='MANTIS';
?>
This will open directly the Report Issue page.


Changes to be done in Mantis PHP files:
In config_inc.php

Before adding these lines into config_inc.php file of Mantis create a viewer user with name 'dummy' having only reporter rights to yout Mantis projects.
# --- anonymous login -----------
# Allow anonymous login
$g_allow_anonymous_login = ON;
$g_anonymous_account = 'dummy';


I havent changed anything else other than these files.
Moreover I have Mantis and TestLink installed on one server only.

Do let me know whether you succeed or not after making these changes.

Changed the "This will open directly the Report Issue page." line location in previous post.

Hi Bairat,

I am using MSsql so what would be Charset.
Also i have downloaded xampplite_mantis_testlink but i am not getting how to install it.

Thanks & Regards,
Amarr

Hi Amar,

I am afraid I dont have any idea of how it integrates with MsSQL or how to install xampplite. I had some problems integrating TestLink with MsSQL and hence installed MySQL 5.0 on my machine. Also Mantis is integrated with MySQL in our organisation so it was easy to integrate it with TestLink.
If you can install MySQL then I could be of some help to you.

Hi Deven,

I tried doing changes and they worked absolutely fine with mssql.
I also installed xampplite on a different machine & it worked wonders.
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi Fman,

Thanks in advance

[fman]

old version must be available on our sourceforge
