Hi, I spent some time the last few days writing a duplicate plug-in because I needed one from work.
In a nutshell, it works using three custom fields dup_of, dups, and dup_count, where dup_of is the actual value that a user sets/changes, and dups and dup_count get set through the ITicketChangeListener. Originally I had hoped to only need dup_of on the duplicate ticket and calculate everything else on the fly, but that would make it impossible to do the reports and queries. The plug-in also handles dup trees, that is to say, if 3 dups 2 dups 1, then 3 shows up in 1's dups list and count. The idea there is that it should be easy to correct a mistake in dupping (by redupping 2 to 4 for example) but still be able to produce useful reports using the dup_count on the master tickets. I've added a test suite as well, and over the weekend used the ticket to retriage our company incident database, and added tests and fixes to the plug-in each time I ran into something I hadn't thought of. You can get the plug-in from https://thomas.apestaart.org/thomas/trac/browser/tests/trac/tracdupplugin/ If nobody complains, I'll register it on trac-hacks. This is my first serious plug-in attempt for trac, so feel free to be nice and eview and give me some pointers if the plug-in is ok, or be rude and drill me into the ground if my plug-in skills are beyond redemption :) I have a small list of questions, if anyone has time, related to the plugin: - how to disallow editing of dups and dup_count field ? - how to show dup_of and dups as a trac link (with #) everywhere ? - how to avoid the nasty time.sleep(1) hack ? - how to integrate trac's logging with unittest logging correctly ? - how to make report sort by dup_count numerically instead of alphabetically ? - should my strings be unicode or not ? - how to add an action on the ticket web page to resolve as a duplicate of ...
