sne import¶
sne import
allows the execution of configured need_services and stores the retrieved data in a needs.json
file,
which can be used by .. needimport::
.
$ sne import -c docs/conf.py jira -v 3.0.1 -r needs.json -o . -w
Importing config from /home/daniel/workspace/sphinx/sphinx-needs-enterprise/docs/conf.py
Using provider "jira" for given service jira
URL: ``http://127.0.0.1:8081/rest/api/2/search``
Query: project = PX
Sending request: Done
Retrieved 2 element
Version to use: 3.0.1
Reusing needs.json: /home/daniel/workspace/sphinx/sphinx-needs-enterprise/needs.json
Erasing existing data for version 3.0.1.
Note
Please take into account that not all services are supporting all functions like sne import
or sne export
.
Take a look at the service badges on our main page, to figure out what a service currently supports.
use case¶
sne import
can be used to retrieve and store baselines of external data at a specific point of time.
So instead of always getting the latest data via .. needservice:: jira
during each build, sne import
can
be used to request and store this data only once in a needs.json
file.
This file can be stored inside your source version system, so that each developer works on the same data.
To get the data into your documentation, use .. needimport:: needs.json
.
For huge requests and big teams, this can reduce the number of requests against the external service dramatically and it makes sure that each build is using the same data.
arguments¶
sne import
takes only one argument, the name of the service to call.
service¶
A given service must be defined inside needs_services
of a conf.py
file.
By default sne
looks into the current working directory for a conf.py
file.
Use -c
to specify another location.
The service key should start with the name of the tool, so that sne
is selecting the internal driver automatically.
For instance: jira_my_server
for JIRA
or codebeamer123
for Codebeamer
.
sne import jira_my_server
options¶
-c / –conf¶
Can be used to specify the location of the conf.py
file to use.
sne import jira -c docs/conf.py
Default: conf.py
(in the current working directory)
-o/–outdir¶
The folder, under which the final needs.json
file shall be created.
Will create not existing subfolders automatically.
sne import codebeamer -o my_exports/2.0.1/
Default: .
(current working directory)
-q/–query¶
Query to use for the service request.
sne import jira -q "status != closed"
Default: Taken from service config in conf.py
.
-r/–reuse¶
Location of a needs.json
compatible file, which data shall be copied/updated in the
final needs.json
file.
sne import codebeamer -r my_exports/2.0.1/needs.json
Default: Not set
-v/–version¶
The version, under which the data shall be stored in the needs.json
file.
sne import codebeamer -v 2.0.1
Default: version
attribute from conf.py
-w/–wipe¶
If -r/--reuse
is used, version specific data may contain data, which is not valid after an import. Maybe
because an issue got deleted, but its data is still available in the reused needs.json
.
Use -w / --wipe
to delete all data for the version given by -v / --version
before the newly imported
data is stored.
sne import codebeamer -v 2.0.1 -w
Default: Not set
