QA notification

web-app

This might be too specific of a question, but I'm trying to figure out if there is a native way to have gemini email the qa folks when an issue status changes to something like 'Ready for Test'.  I don't want them to have to set themselves up as 'watcher' on every issue - not only because that is a laborious task, but because they would get an email every time we committed changes to svn (which adds a comment to the issue)

I looked at the Gemini workflow settings, figuring maybe such an option would appear there, but I didn't see anything.  I know perl pretty well, so I could write something against the web API and have it run every hour checking for issues which have changed to (or from) the target status - but maybe a way to do this kind of thing already exists?

thx!

At the moment Gemini can send alerts on status change but not to a specific status.

You could change the schedueler code to do this.

Right, I know I can globally enable the option of status change alerts, but as far as I can tell, this requires the qa user setting a watch on every issue they want to be alerted about - which means they'll also get the emails every time anything on the issue changes.

My company has been hobbling along with the 5 user limit for years.  I've been here for a little over a year, and finally convinced them after a year of begging to buy the commercial license.  No chance I'm going to get them to shell out for the source code. :/

No, you do not need to watch the issue. The user can opt to receive alerts on status changes only.

The scheduler code is FREE for commercial license holders.

I see the 'Email Alerts' link near the top right, I'll mess with that, thanks.

My supervisor is asking me about making Gemini send alerts to everyone in a group.  He is going through configuring project level alerts of status changes for our QA people, but is asking how he can make it so that he doesn't have to go through every project and do this for every person - especially when a new person is added to the QA group.

I don't see any options for adding a group to get an alert, just individual users.  I know just enough to futz with the database to add our current QA people to every project (instead of having to do it by hand through the Gemini UI) but when adding/removing a person to/from QA, this has to be done again.

I'm going to open up the scheduler code, but that doesn't really seem like the place for something like this?

For new users you can set the default via the Administration -> Notifications screen.

It is not possible at the moment to add user groups. Feel free to add it to our list: http://gemini.countersoft.com

The scheduler is not the place for it, but you can make it work as you can get the users in the group and mail them regardless of their settings.
