bite-bugzilla-create - create bug

Synopsis

bite bugzilla <create|c> <options>

Create bug.

bite bugzilla <create|c> [-h|--help]

Output help information.

Description

Create bug.

Global Options

-v, --verbose

Increase logging verbosity.

Verbosity levels in increasing order are error, warning, info, debug, and trace. The default level is warning causing errors and warnings to be shown. Each -v/--verbose option specified increases the level up to the maximum so bite -vv …​ runs the given subcommand at the debug level.

Warning
 Running at the trace level leaks authentication data as it outputs raw response structures including URLs which often include injected login parameters for authenticated sessions.
-q, --quiet

Decrease logging verbosity.

-h, --help

Print help output and exit.

Create options

--from-bug <id>

Read attributes from an existing bug.

Value must be the ID of an existing bug which will be used to pre-populate the relevant, required fields for creation.

Combining this option with -n/--dry-run and --to allows creating templates using existing bugs to edit and use later without creating a new bug.

Create template using existing bug:
bite bugzilla create --from-bug 123 --to template1 --dry-run

Template Options

Template files use the TOML format and generally map long option names to values. Explicitly specified options override corresponding template values.

Templates names without path separators are sourced from ${HOME}/.config/bugbite/templates/${CONNECTION}/${COMMAND}/${NAME} (with $XDG_CONFIG_HOME as a fallback) where $CONNECTION is the current connection name, $COMMAND is the subcommand name, and $NAME is the requested template name. For example, bite bugzilla -c gentoo search -n -c 1d --to test would save a template to ${HOME}/.config/bugbite/templates/gentoo/search/test while bite bugzilla -c gentoo search --from test would load it for use.

Template names with path separators are treated as relative paths in the current working directory.

-n, --dry-run

Skip service interaction.

Using -n/--dry-run allows creating templates without service interaction.

--from <name[,…​]>

Read request attributes from templates.

Multiple templates can be specified in a comma-separated list or via multiple options and will be loaded in order with later field values overriding earlier ones.

--to <name>

Write request attributes to a template.

Use - for standard output instead of writing to a file.

Create bug using template:
bite bugzilla create --from template1 -S summary -D description
Create template using specified values:
bite bugzilla create -p TestProduct -C TestComponent --to template1 --dry-run
