Hint for server url to add

[schumaml]

It isn't really obvious what I have to add in the URL field of a server - just https://bugzilla.example.com ? Or another of the well-known URLs of a Bugzilla instance, i. e. one of its scripts?

I will add placeholder text to the field, you don't put the URL of one of the scripts, just the path to the base directory of Bugzilla.

Yes now you have xmlrpc and jsonrpc implemented which is <baseur\l>+"xmlrpc.cgi" or +"jsonrpc.cgi". I will implement rest api based on work on https://github.com/JulienDev/BugDroid (I contact owner and he can give a hand, but he is aggree with reuse the code). That would be +"rest"

@schumaml what are your doubts exactly? We need to add a check that you do not add "jsonrpc.cgi" or "xmlrpc.cgi" or "rest/" at the end, but document it should be enough by now.

Adding a wiki would allow us to close this issue?

The motivation for reporting the issue was mostly that nothing obvious happened when I tried this with https://bugzilla.gnome.org

The best way to handle this could be to be tolerant in regard to accepting URLs - meaning as long as it can get to a working API endpoint by traversing up from the URL provided, anything will work.

@schumaml already merged changes are precisely to integrate app with bugzilla.gnome.org. It uses the xmlrpc api that was not implemented. See now there's a check on server config to use json api. Leave unchecked to use xmlrpc (as needed for bugzilla.gnome.org)

In fact we are on gnome november bug squash https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/BugSquashMonth so grab last version of app and give a hand if you want.

Now you have search text filters on products, search text filters on bugs and you can add comments or change status (if you have permissions) See this is just a beta:

Normally we are on irc (#bugs channel), but you can use any of these links to ask for task or doubts
