#TS Created By List

This is a quick grid that lets you pick a user and find the things that she created. The selection of creator is allowed on the quick filter (but not the advanced field selector filter).

Note: This app combines lookback and wsapi queries -- the Object IDs provided by the lookback representing the items created by the selected users have been limited in this app to the 5000 objects created most recently by that user. When there are more objects created by that user, the app will display a small green notifier message at the top with this message: "Warning: Older results might not display." You can look in the console log to see the number differences.

Development Notes

• Requires lookback
• If a user is chosen, this will first run over to look in lookback for snapshots 0 made by that user then apply the other filters to WSAPI.
• The reason for the 5000 limit: The wsapi filter is created as a long string of ORs for the Object IDs selected. Creating a filter involves a recursive looping through the nodes of the filter in order to create the right number of parenthesis. Somewhere around 6000 nodes the app will reach a Maximum callstack exceeded error.

First Load

If you've just downloaded this from github and you want to do development, you're going to need to have these installed:

• node.js
• grunt-cli
• grunt-init

Since you're getting this from github, we assume you have the command line version of git also installed. If not, go get git.

If you have those three installed, just type this in the root directory here to get set up to develop:

npm install

Structure

• src/javascript: All the JS files saved here will be compiled into the target html file
• src/style: All of the stylesheets saved here will be compiled into the target html file
• test/fast: Fast jasmine tests go here. There should also be a helper file that is loaded first for creating mocks and doing other shortcuts (fastHelper.js) Tests should be in a file named -spec.js
• test/slow: Slow jasmine tests go here. There should also be a helper file that is loaded first for creating mocks and doing other shortcuts (slowHelper.js) Tests should be in a file named -spec.js
• templates: This is where templates that are used to create the production and debug html files live. The advantage of using these templates is that you can configure the behavior of the html around the JS.
• config.json: This file contains the configuration settings necessary to create the debug and production html files.
• package.json: This file lists the dependencies for grunt
• auth.json: This file should NOT be checked in. Create this to create a debug version of the app, to run the slow test specs and/or to use grunt to install the app in your test environment. It should look like: { "username":"you@company.com", "password":"secret", "server": "https://rally1.rallydev.com" }

Usage of the grunt file

####Tasks

grunt debug

Use grunt debug to create the debug html file. You only need to run this when you have added new files to the src directories.

grunt build

Use grunt build to create the production html file. We still have to copy the html file to a panel to test.

grunt test-fast

Use grunt test-fast to run the Jasmine tests in the fast directory. Typically, the tests in the fast directory are more pure unit tests and do not need to connect to Rally.

grunt test-slow

Use grunt test-slow to run the Jasmine tests in the slow directory. Typically, the tests in the slow directory are more like integration tests in that they require connecting to Rally and interacting with data.

grunt deploy

Use grunt deploy to build the deploy file and then install it into a new page/app in Rally. It will create the page on the Home tab and then add a custom html app to the page. The page will be named using the "name" key in the config.json file (with an asterisk prepended).

To use this task, you must create an auth.json file that contains the following keys: { "username": "fred@fred.com", "password": "fredfredfred", "server": "https://us1.rallydev.com" }

(Use your username and password, of course.) NOTE: not sure why yet, but this task does not work against the demo environments. Also, .gitignore is configured so that this file does not get committed. Do not commit this file with a password in it!

When the first install is complete, the script will add the ObjectIDs of the page and panel to the auth.json file, so that it looks like this:

{ "username": "fred@fred.com", "password": "fredfredfred", "server": "https://us1.rallydev.com", "pageOid": "52339218186", "panelOid": 52339218188 }

On subsequent installs, the script will write to this same page/app. Remove the pageOid and panelOid lines to install in a new place. CAUTION: Currently, error checking is not enabled, so it will fail silently.

grunt watch

Run this to watch files (js and css). When a file is saved, the task will automatically build and deploy as shown in the deploy section above.
