Webcompat Issue Importer

This tool allows importing of issues from external sources to the web-bugs repo (which allows them to be displayed on webcompat.com).

If you're interested in doing this, please reach out to miket@mozilla.com so he can give your GitHub username push rights to the repo (otherwise this tool won't work).

JSON schema

The JSON passed in is validated against the following JSON schema:

schema = {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "url": {"type": "string"},
        "title": {"type": "string"},
        "browser": {"type": "string"},
        "os": {"type": "string"},
        "body": {"type": "string"},
        "labels": {
            "type": "array",
            "items": {
                "type": "string"
                # enum of allowed values added dynamically
                # unless the --force option is used.
            }
        },
        "comments": {
            # comments, if included, should be ordered from old to new
            "type": "array",
            "items": {"type": "string"}
        }
    },
    "required": ["url", "title", "browser", "os", "body"]
}

Note: The browser key can contain browser name and version, or only name, i.e., "Firefox 30" or "Firefox" are acceptable values.

See http://json-schema.org/ for more information.

Setup

1. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Create a config.py file, filling in appropriate values:

cp importer/config.py.example importer/config.py

OAUTH_TOKEN: A valid GitHub user commandline token that has push access to the repo at REPO_URI

REPO_URI: <username>/<repo>, e.g., webcompat/web-bugs.

Usage

usage: import.py [-h] [-l] [-f] [issue_file]

positional arguments:
  issue_file    JSON file representing a single issue.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help    show this help message and exit
  -l, --labels  Print all labels used by issues.
  -f, --force   Don't validate labels against the issues repo.

Usage Examples

Import an single issue.

python import.py issue.json

cat issue.json | python import.py

List all labels currently used at REPO_URI:

python import.py -l

Ignore issue label validation and import issue (unknown labels will be ignored):

python import.py --force issue.json

If successful, the tool will print the URL of the newly created issue. If there's a JSON schema error, a description of the error will be printed. If there's some kind of other error, the response status code the GitHub API returned will be printed. The GitHub API documentation is helpful in these cases.

Adapters

It should be possible to write "adapters" to transform data from different sources into something that conforms to the defined JSON schema. Take a look at the Chromium Bugtracker Adapter for pointers on how to do this.

Chromium Adapter

Usage:

python importer/adapters/chromium_adapter.py 12345 > issue.json

Running Tests

Use the nosetests command.
