Integrate TortoiseSVN with Redmine

Question

I'm trying to integrate Redmine with TortoiseSVN, but I was not able to do that because TSVN always gives me this error"

"There are no issue-tracker providers available."

I have made these steps :

• On my project folder properties I have added "bugtraq:url -> http://myweb/../issues/show/%BUGID%"
• On Redmine settings I have added the SVN in repository tab, and redmine showed the my repository without any problem.

I'm not sure if there are any missing steps or I what I have to do to make the integration?.

Or should I look at trac, because it seems more stable and have better support?

Answer 1

Please read the docs.

The error "There are no issue-tracker providers available" means that you have not installed an issue tracker plugin for TSVN.

The bugtraq: properties don't require a plugin. You can use those without a plugin (but you won't be able to fetch a list of open issues in the commit dialog).

This question dicusses a similar problem when using tortoisesvn with fogbugz - they do mention the same error so you might get some help from it.

Answer 3

Slightly more detail on Stefan's post:

With what you're trying to do, setting the bugtraq:url alone isn't enough. You need to either set the 'bugtraq:message' property or the 'bugtraq:logregex' property as well. As an example, on our redmine setup we allow the following items in the commit message:

• References: refs,references,IssueID
• Fixes: fixes,closes,Fixes Bug

So we use a bugtraq:logregex for maximum flexibility of:

([Cc]loses|[Ii]ssue[Ii][Dd]|[Rr]eferences|[Rr]efs|[Ff]ixes(\s[Bb]ug)?)\s?#(\d+)
\d+

Which covers all our options.

By doing this, tortoise highlights the part of the commit comment which links into redmine and turns the number into a link which you can click on to go to the actual redmine issue.

The more advanced option is to allow you to choose an open bug directly from redmine. It's this feature that needs a specific plugin installed on your machine, but as far as I can tell, such a plugin for redmine doesn't exist, so we're kind of stuck with the basic option at the moment. When someone writes such a plug-in, and you install it, you'll then be able to go into "Issue tracker Integration" as you're currently trying to and things will work fine.

Answer 4

It exist a Tortoise plugin for Redmine. You can try.
