RedLod allows you to track time on Redmine via command line.
The following instructions assume you use a *nix terminal.
Download the package or clone it, then run
composer install
After composer has finished downloading all the dependencies, give execution permissions to redlog file in root directory:
chmod +x redlog
If you prefer, create a symlink to the redlog script in a shared path, for example
sudo ln -s /path/to/redlog_project/redlog /usr/bin/redlog
A script that runs after composer install should already create an .env file.
If it doesn't work, manually copy the .env.example file into .env.
Then, customize .env and config.yml files according to your Redmine settings.
Note: customize aliases of activities in config.yml according to your
preferences and be sure the ativity names are the same of your Redmine's.
From root directory, run the following command to track 2.5 hours for a development activity (d) on task 1234 done on 2018-03-14
redlog log 2018-03-14 2.5 1234 d "Fixed nasty bug"
Alternatively you can use time start-end format:
redlog log 2018-03-14 0900-1130 1234 d "Fixed nasty bug"
If the activity is not allowed in the issue's project, a message like the following will be shown:
Activity 'Event' (evt) not allowed in Project 'bitbull-internal' (id: 141)
https://tracker.bitbull.it/projects/bitbull-internal/settings/activities
The list of allowed activities is:
des Design / UX
dev Development
setcon Setup / configuration
suptra Support / training
a Analysis
pm Project management
sale Sales/Pre-sales
Unfortunately the APIs of the version of Redmine I'm using doesn't provide the activities allowed in a project.
Thus, configure a REDMINE_SESSION in .env (taken from the _redmine_session
cookie from a browser in which you are authenticated), so that redlog
gets that list via HTTP call.
A Docker image is available on Docker Hub , and it's built from the included Dockerfile. You can invoke the command with:
docker run -v $(pwd)/.env:/app/.env -v $(pwd)/config.yml:/app/config.yml bitbull/redlog log 2020-04-27 1000-1315 1234 d "Fixed nasty bug"
