yara.nvim

yet another jira wrapper (for neovim)

This plugin enables the most used jira workflows inside of neovim using as few keystrokes as possible.

Quickstart

Preqrequisites

You need go-jira installed! It should work once you're able to run jira list in your terminal and it returns a list of issues.

Installation

Use your favourite package manager.

Plug 'kvalv/yara.nvim'

Additional options can be provided like this (full syntax for format.lines will be provided once it's a bit more stable):

lua << EOF
require('yara').setup({
    jira_executable = "jira",
    email = "some-email@bigcorp.com",
    format = {
        lines = {
            "$(key) by $(assignee:unassigned) in $(sprint.name:backlog) [$(status)]", 
            "$(time.spent) / $(time.estimate)",
            "$(summary)",
            "",
        }
    }
})
EOF

Usage

Once installed, you can open up the window by calling :YaraOpen. Keys:

• >: Move issue to next state
• <: Move issue to previous state
• I: Toggle showing issues only to the current user (i.e. issues connected to the e-mail you wrote in the config).
• S: Toggle showing issues only in the current sprint
• s: Display a menu where you can select issues in a particular sprint (or backlog). E.g. s0 will display issues only in the backlog.
• P: Interactively add worklog hours for the task the cursor is on

Motivation

The Jira web interface is not ideal for frequent viewing and updating tasks during a sprint. Consequently, tracking tasks properly is not easy to do, and I lose a lot of learning and insight by not keeping the tasks up-to-date. This plugin seeks to make it easier to view, filter and update my tasks in a sprint.

Better documentation / customization will probably come in place once all the feature goals are in place.

Feature goals (somewhat in order)

• List all tasks, along with status and assignee
• Filter by current user
• View issues hierarchically; tasks and subtasks are grouped together.
• Move tasks forward (>) and backwards (<)
• Filter by other users
• View issues in backlog, current sprint, next sprint etc.
• bind git branches to tasks, and automatically track time used
• Bugs are displayed distinctively
• Refresh tasks
• Log hours on tasks
• Create new tasks
