MantisBT not listing changelog

Question

I am making use of MantisBT to track issues and have so far collected a number of issues. However, my changelog remains empty

No Change Log information available. Issues are included once projects have versions and issues are resolved with "fixed in version" set.

Each bug report has Product version, target version (needed for roadmap) and a fixed in version (needed for changelog). Likewise I have released certain versions.

I have customized my workflow and I suspect this is part of the reason.

# custom access list
$g_access_levels_enum_string = '10:VIEWER,20:REPORTER,30:ENGINEER,40:CCB,90:ADMINISTRATOR';

# custom resolution list
$g_resolution_enum_string = '10:OPEN,20:REOPEN,30:WONTFIX,60:DISPOSITIONED, 70:FIXED';

From what I have been able to determine, for a changelog to appear you need 1) a released version (done) 2) a bug with a fixed in version matching this (done 3) a bug closed as "fixed"

now in a fresh MantisBT (and testing shows changelog works), FIXED has a constant of 20 so part of me suspect it is my g_resolution_enum_string but this would also imply that there should be another variable that sets which threshold should be used

$g_bug_resolution_fixed_threshold = FIXED;

This does not work

What am I missing? Also if it is of importance... my versions are labeled: v0.0, v0.1, v0.2 (ie prepended by 'v')

Answer 1

I suggest you read the documentation's Enumerations section , in particular

The strings included in the enumerations here are just for documentation purposes

So, your enum definition of 70:FIXED does not actually match the constant FIXED which, as you have pointed out, is still set to 20 which means that $g_bug_resolution_fixed_threshold actually points to your 20:REOPEN ... You may want to define your own constants.

Also note that there is another important threshold in this context, $g_bug_resolution_not_fixed_threshold - resolutions above it are considered to be resolved in an unsuccessful way. By default it is set to _UNABLE_TO_REPRODUCE_ (40).

In other words, for an issue to appear in the Changelog, it must match all of the following criteria ( reference ):

• status >= bug_resolution_fixed_threshold
• resolution >= bug_resolution_fixed_threshold
• resolution < bug_resolution_not_fixed_threshold

Note that this standard behavior can be changed with a custom function .

So your problem is indeed caused by your custom resolution_enum_string , most likely in combination with the values in the 2 above-mentioned thresholds.
