Synopsis

bite bugzilla <update|u> <options> <ids>

Update bugs.

bite bugzilla <update|u> [-h|--help]

Output help information.

Description

Update bugs.

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.

Update options

-R, --reply

Interactively reply to specific comments for a given bug.

Values must be valid comment IDs specific to the bug, starting at 0 for the description. If no value is specified the last comment will be used.

This option forces interactive usage, launching an editor pre-populated with the selected comments allowing the user to respond in a style reminiscent of threaded messages on a mailing list. On completion, the data is used to create a new bug comment.

Multiple arguments can be specified in a comma-separated list.

Reply to comments 1 and 2:
bite bugzilla update 123 --reply 1,2
Reply to the last comment:
bite bugzilla update 123 --reply

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.

Update bug using template:
bite bugzilla update 123 --from template1 -c 'updated using template'
Create template using specified values:
bite bugzilla update -p TestProduct -C TestComponent --to template1 --dry-run
