The HTTP server provided by “fossil ui” is still “remote” as far as my questions go. The point is, the command line fossil client making the ci call probably didn’t keep the cookie it was given when it originally did the clone, and it may not be able to manufacture it afterward. I did some poking around, and the returned cookie looks like a secure token to me, rather than something the client side could assemble at will. But it turns out that it is not necessary to make the edit via HTTP. A bit of playing around shows that if you close (or otherwise modify) a ticket in your local clone of the repo, Fossil attempts to sync the change to the remote. You could do this before the checkin and have the ticket modification be autosync’d to the server, but that feels like a premature optimization. It might be better to hold off modifying the local tickets until after the remote server accepts the checkin, then do another autosync. More expensive, but also more correct. If you don’t have permission to change the remote tickets, Fossil complains: Error: not authorized to write I don’t see that as a real problem. IMHO, it’s fine if a checkin claims to close a given ticket without making the checkin acceptance conditional on the ticket actually closing. Someone else with the necessary permissions can later manually close it; you’d be no worse off than today. > Ideally, the set of commands available to TH1 hook scripts could be expanded > to include things like adding/updating tags and updating tickets. Again, I don’t see why you’d want to spend a lot of effort expanding TH1 to support this. That requires every Fossil user to rebuild Fossil with TH1 hook support and install the custom hook. This should be built into the core of Fossil. It’s becoming a violation of expectation here in 2016 that this *doesn’t* happen. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
