How to integrate Hudson and MantisBT

Question

Hudson is a popular CI system, Mantis is a popular Bug Tracking system.

I have a list of project in Mantis and I would like to import into Hudson in order to build specific project .

In othet words, I configured a parametric job which accept the project name from a choice list, then the job connect the svn repository and check out it. I woul like to choose the project from mantis project list.

Is it possible and How?

as pointed by Robert it is a little bit complex, because the mantsiBT uses local database; to do you can use the Extended choice parameter which get data from a properties file or url, than you can the following page into the mantisbt home directory:

<?php

require_once ('core.php');

$link = mysql_connect($g_hostname, $g_db_username, $g_db_password);
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
if (!mysql_select_db('bugtracker')) {
    die('Could not select database: ' . mysql_error());
}


    $result1 = mysql_query('SELECT name FROM bugtracker.mantis_project_table');


if (!$result1) {
    die('Could not query:' . mysql_error());
} else {

    echo 'projects=';
    for ($j = 0; $j < mysql_num_rows($result1); ++$j) {
        $vv0 = mysql_result($result1, $j, 0);
        if ($j == 0) {
            echo $vv0;
        } else {
            echo ',' . $vv0;
        }
    }

}
echo "\r\n";

mysql_close($link);
?>

and it works for me.

In the extended choice plugin

• select Single Select
• set the page url of mantisbt just defined into the file parameter
• set property key to projects
