date_from/date_to Filter

[danielmanser]

According to the docs, one can filter time entries from/to a specific date. I've tried with a few date formats, but it seems the filter does not work. What is the correct date format (according to the docs, a string)?

[maxtepkeev]

time_entries = redmine.time_entry.filter(from_date='2013-12-03', to_date='2013-12-03')

Currently the from_date and to_date params accepts a string only in the format that is used by your Redmine server.

Hm, that doesn't work as well.

[maxtepkeev]

What is your Redmine version ? Also what does it mean "doesn't work" ? Show me the code please.

[maxtepkeev]

Also please do this request directly in your browser:

http://your_redmine_server/time_entries.json?from=2013-12-02&to=2013-12-02

Of course change the dates to the ones you need and have a look at the returned result. Does it work this way ?

My Redmine version is 2.1.0.stable. No matter what I set for date_from/date_to or from_date/to_date, I always get all entries (so they are not filtered). I don't get an error.

Trying your example from above directly in the browser, however, I can filter. So I get only the entries for 2013-12-02.

The code I'm using is:

time_entries = redmine.time_entry.filter(project_id='projectname', date_from='2013-01-01', date_to='2013-12-01')

This code gives me also entries for 2011, 2012 and 2014.

If the in-browser filtering works, it should also work via python-redmine. There is an error in the code you provided: the parameters are wrong: they should be from_date/to_date instead of date_from/date_to in your code. This is important.

[danielmanser]

Thanks for your quick response. It doesn't work with from_date/to_date as well (which is what I've tried in the beginning, according to the docs). Also, I don't get an error. It seems like the two arguments aren't parsed at all. I'll do some debugging now, maybe I can provide more info.

[maxtepkeev]

Are you using the 0.5.0 version of python-redmine ?

I'm asking because this parameters only work starting from 0.4.0. Also please check redmine.resources.TimeEntry class, there should be a translate_params class method where a translation of this params occures. You can start debugging from here.

[danielmanser]

Uh - yes. Installed via pip :-/

[maxtepkeev]

So the problem was in using the old version, right ?
