Logjammin'

A batch time logger for JIRA

Prerequisites:

• Python 3 is required.
• The pytz and jira Python packages must be installed.
• A JSON configuration file must exist at the path ~/.logjammin. The file has the following format:

{
    "host": "your JIRA hostname",
    "user": "your JIRA username",
    "password": "your JIRA password",
    "time_zone": "your tzdata time zone ID (e.g. US/Pacific)"
}

• An optional log_file property can be set instead of specifying the log file via a command line argument.

Usage:

$ ./logjammin.py -h
usage: logjammin.py [-h] [-p] [file]

positional arguments:
  file              the file to load

optional arguments:
  -h, --help        show this help message and exit
  -p, --parse-only  parse the file only (don't verify tickets or upload logs)

As the file is parsed, each ticket is fetched from JIRA to ensure it exists. After parsing, a summary of the logs is presented for review along with a prompt to indicate whether or not to upload the logs to JIRA.

Time Log File Format:

The general format of the time log file is as follows:

YYYY-MM-DD
TICKET-123, 90m
TICKET-456, 1h 30m, added new feature

# a comment
YYYY-MM-DD
TICKET-789, 1.5h

• Dashes in date strings are optional.
• Blank lines are allowed but not required.
• Whitespace is allowed but not required, e.g. TICKET-123,1h30m and TICKET-456 , 1 h 30 m are both valid log entries.
• Ticket IDs and time entries are case-insensitive.
• Dates can be repeated.
• Comments can be added by starting a line with # or //.
