Bugzilla |

Typesafe access to Bugzilla's REST API.

Very early work in progress, getting info from a bug or searching bugs is the main priority right now.

Tests

Some basic tests now exist. yarn test will run the main tests. yarn run itest will run some integration tests against a real Bugzilla instance however you must have docker installed in order to run these.

API

Creating the API instance

import BugzillaAPI from "bugzilla";

let api = new BugzillaAPI("https://bugzilla.mozilla.org", "<api key>");
await api.version();

Or for username/password authentication:

import BugzillaAPI from "bugzilla";

let api = new BugzillaAPI(
  "https://bugzilla.mozilla.org",
  "<username>",
  "<password>",
);
await api.version();

Retrieving bugs by ID

let bugs = await api.getBugs([123456, 123457]);

Querying bugs

You can use a quicksearch string:

let bugs = await api.quicksearch("severity:blocker,critical");

Or any advanced search which can be passed in a number of ways:

// You can just pass a full advanced search url:
let bugs = await api.advancedSearch(
  "https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?email1=dtownsend%40mozilla.com&emailassigned_to1=1&resolution=---&emailtype1=exact&list_id=15603348",
);

// Or just the query string part:
let bugs = await api.advancedSearch(
  "email1=dtownsend%40mozilla.com&emailassigned_to1=1&resolution=---&emailtype1=exact&list_id=15603348",
);

// Or as a record:
let bugs = await api.advancedSearch({
  email1: "[e-mail]",
  emailassigned_to1: "1",
  resolution: "---",
  emailtype1: "exact",
});

Filtering bug fields

To reduce bandwidth or improve performance it is possible to filter the fields returned by functions that return bugs:

// To only retrieve certain fields.
let bug = await api.getBugs([123456]).include(["id", "product", "component"]);

// Or to filter out certain fields.
let bug = await api.getBugs([123456]).exclude(["cc_detail"]);

Assuming you use a static array the returned types will correctly reflect to available fields.

Currently the _all, _default, _extra and _custom special field shortcuts are not currently supported.

Custom fields are not currently returned.

Retrieving comments by ID

// .getComment() accepts one parameter, ID of comment, as number
let comment = await api.getComment(123456);

Return value is Comment object.

Retrieving all comments of bug

// .getBugComments() accepts one parameter, ID of bug, as number
let comments = await api.getBugComments(123456);

Return value is array of Comment objects.

Creating comments

let comment = await api.createComment(
  123456,
  "This is new comment on bug #123456",
  { is_private: false },
);

Returned value is ID of the newly-created comment.

Creating bugs

let bug = await api.createBug({
  product: "TestProduct",
  component: "TestComponent",
  version: "unspecified",
  summary: "'This is a test bug - please disregard",
  alias: "SomeAlias",
  op_sys: "All",
  priority: "P1",
  rep_platform: "All",
});

Returned value is ID of the newly-created bug.

Updating bugs

Example of adding email address on cc list of bug #123456:

let response = await api.updateBug(123456, {
  id_or_alias: 123456,
  cc: { add: "[e-mail]" },
});

Returned value is same as described in Bugzilla docs.

Retrieving attachments by ID

// .getAttachment() accepts one parameter, ID of attachment, as number
let attachment = await api.getAttachment(123456);

Retrieving all attachments of bug

// .getBugsAttachments() accepts one parameter, ID of bug, as number
let attachments = await api.getBugAttachments(123456);

Creating attachments

let attachment = await api.createAttachment(123456, {
  ids: [123456, 123457],
  data:  Buffer.from('Attachment content'),
  file_name: "Attachment name",
  summary: "Attachment summary",
  content_type: "text/plain",
  is_private?: false,
});

Returned value is an array of IDs of the newly-created attachments.
