`tickets` (Ticket management in Noi)¶

The lino_noi.lib.tickets plugin extends lino_xl.lib.tickets to make it collaborate with lino_noi.lib.working.

In Lino Noi the site of a ticket also indicates “who is going to pay” for our work. Lino Noi uses this information when generating a service report.

This document contains code snippets (lines starting with >>>) that get tested as part of our development workflow.

>>> from lino import startup
>>> startup('lino_book.projects.noi1e.settings.demo')
>>> from lino.api.doctest import *

Tickets ¶

Here is a textual description of the fields and their layout used in the detail window of a ticket.

class lino_noi.lib.tickets.Ticket¶

The life cycle of a ticket ¶

In Lino Noi we use the default tickets workflow defined in lino_xl.lib.tickets.TicketStates.

Projects ¶

The list of projects in our demo database depends on who is looking at it. Anonymous users can see only public projects:

Filtering tickets ¶

Lino Noi modifies the list of the parameters you can use for filterings tickets be setting a custom params_layout.

>>> show_fields(tickets.AllTickets, all=True)
... 
- Author (user) : The author or reporter of this ticket. The user who reported this
  ticket to the database and is responsible for managing it.
- End user (end_user) : Only rows concerning this end user.
- Assigned to (assigned_to) : Only tickets with this user assigned.
- Not assigned to (not_assigned_to) : Only that this user is not assigned to.

Change observers ¶

A comment is a ChangeNotifier that forwards its owner’s change observers:

>>> ar = rt.login('robin')

>>> from lino.modlib.notify.mixins import ChangeNotifier
>>> obj = comments.Comment.objects.filter(group__isnull=False).first()
>>> obj.owner
Group #3 ('Sales team')
>>> isinstance(obj.owner, ChangeNotifier)
True
>>> list(obj.get_change_observers())
... 
[(User #4 ('Marc'), <notify.MailModes.often:often>),
 (User #2 ('Rolf Rompen'), <notify.MailModes.often:often>)]

>>> list(obj.get_change_observers()) == list(obj.owner.get_change_observers())
True

When the owner of a comment is not a ChangeNotifier, the comment has no change observers:

>>> obj = comments.Comment.objects.filter(group__isnull=True).first()
>>> obj.owner
Company #181 ('Saffre-Rumma')
>>> isinstance(obj.owner, ChangeNotifier)
False
>>> list(obj.get_change_observers())
[]
>>> list(obj.owner.get_change_observers())
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AttributeError: 'Company' object has no attribute 'get_change_observers'

>>> list(comments.Comment.objects.get(pk=155).get_change_observers())
... 
[]
