Report showing closed issues since last release ?

Post by esutton »

Can a report be created that contains only the closed issues between a current release and a previous?

Major.Minor.SvnRevision

The last number in our software version numbering system matches the Subversion revision number that a build was made from.
I added custom fields for Subversion-revision-reported, and Subversion-revision-closed (maybe there is a more generic or better Mantis way?).

Use case example:

Previous release: 1.2.304
Issue Bug1 fixed: 1.2.306
Issue Bug2 fixed: 1.2.323
Issue Bug3 fixed: 1.2.344
Make new release: 1.2.355

How can I generate a report of closed issues 1.2.304 <= 1.2.355, Must I use "Date Filters"?

I would be interested in hearing about your experience in using Mantis for this purpose.

Thanks in advance,

Use "View Issues", click on "Advanced Filters"
Click on "Fixed in Version" and multiselect (hold Ctrl Key) the versions you want

Thank you very much for your reply. Sorry, I should have thought about multi-select as a way to accomplish my goal.

I appear to have a problem with my "fixed in version" custom field not displaying records on the "Advanced Filters" page. The "reported" custom field shows the reported versions list. Good.

SVN Revision Reported
[any]
[none]
1.2.304
1.2.306
1.2.444

The "fixed" custom field shows only "any" and "none" despite having entered this field when closing an issue?

SVN Revision Resolved
[any]
[none]

The only difference I see is one is required-on-report and the second is set to required-on-resolve and required-on-close. Do you have any advice concerning?

Thanks again for your response,

Custom field? Do you use outdated version of MantisBT? "Fixed in version" is a standard field, at least since version 1.1.x (where I started working wit hMantisBT)

Possibly. So I understand I should see "Fixed in version" as a standard field when I close or resolve an issue? I guess I am not finding this standard field?

I have Mantis 1.1.6 that I think we installed from Bitnami download a couple years ago.

Yes
See example http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=11654 where you should see the field (this is version 1.2.3, but I use 1.1.6 in one of my installations where this is also available

1.1.6 was released December 2008, is this a couple of years?
Maybe you don't see any versions, because you didn't configure any versions for your projects.

Sorry, I do not see the "Fixed in Version Field" in 1.1.6.

Ahh, I see my problem. It has actually been 1.8 years and not 2.0 years since 1.1.6. I feel very inferior now which must be the point of that comment. Thank you very much for taking the time to point this out.

Now that might be helpful. When I create a new project I see no option to configure anything related to versions. I guess I would expect them to be enabled by default.

Seems you are offended, and I can't understand why.
Be also aware that I am no native English speaker, I just try my best to support users using MantisBT.
The question was to find out whether your installation is a real version 1.1.6 or maybe is a older one.
You told, that you do not see "Fixed in Version Field", so I thought this can't be 1.1.6

Click "Manage" -> "Manage Projects"
Click on a project name to get a page where versions can be added for the selected project.
