Redmine

Is it possible to add this plugin to the new redmine plugin directory?

I ony have mpp files as export from Ms Project, but the plugin only read xml. How do i export MPP to XML fromat in MsProject?

Just open the mpp file on MS Project and "Save as..." XML.

Hi:

I am not a RUBY expert, but I have been using Redmine as a PM tool for sometime now and I like it. I am hover experiencing some trouble when it comes to importing project plans from MS Project in XML format. The import works until I try to save and then it gives the following me the following messages:

Application error
Rails application failed to start properly

Followed, on refresh, by

Errorundefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

So this is a bit frustrating to say the least. It imports some, but not all of the project tasks.

What I have done so far is to try different hardware platforms up to a Core 2 Duo processor / 1Gig with no difference. My standard platform at the moment is a Pentium D 2.8GHz with 2Gigs of RAM and plenty of disk space.

I would be grateful for some guidance/feedback. Thank you.

Kind regards,

Michael

Do you can provide some logs info?

log/development.log
or
log/production.log

with trace of this error?

Thanks

Hi:

We seem to have cured our problem by bypassing Apache and using Mongrel - seems like Apache tends to get a little stretched for some reason and then times out causing the imports to fail. A downside is that the system is slightly slower, but the plus is that it does not fail.

Hi:

I have noticed that the import does not bring in issue assignments set up using our project management tool - that is a bit of a problem - there is another product that does - taskadapter - but I was kind of hoping that the MS Project import would do it too. I have checked that the names used in MS Project match the user names being used in Redmine with no joy. Am I missing something that is causing this issue, or is issue assignment not supported?

About assignment.

Based on source:
https://github.com/vile/redmine_loader/blob/master/app/controllers/loader_controller.rb

it take from imported info field named "assigned_to":

https://github.com/vile/redmine_loader/blob/master/app/controllers/loader_controller.rb#L145

struct.assigned_to = task[ :assigned_to ]

Then here this info is adding to Issue:

https://github.com/vile/redmine_loader/blob/master/app/controllers/loader_controller.rb#L238

if ( source_issue.assigned_to != "" )
    destination_issue.assigned_to_id = source_issue.assigned_to
  end

I.e. if source filed "assigned_to" contain user's login, we can try to find user in Redmine by login:

User.find_by_login(login)

In this case plugin can be changes to like this:

if ( source_issue.assigned_to != "" )
  # integer - store as is
    if source_issue.assigned_to.to_i != 0
      destination_issue.assigned_to_id = source_issue.assigned_to
    else
    # string - try to search user by login
      user = User.find_by_login(source_issue.assigned_to) rescue nil
      if user
      # store user's id
        destination_issue.assigned_to_id = user.id
      end
    end
  end

Anybody can help on this issue?

I have the same error :(

ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `firstname' for nil:NilClass) on line #171 of vendor/plugins/vile-redmine_loader/app/views/loader/new.html.erb:

Ok, there is some select list for select users.

It seems that User record not found, from here:

https://github.com/vile/redmine_loader/blob/0e3c62b9304a7f96aaceb56f72dad3c5be198656/app/helpers/loader_helper.rb#L110

userList = userList.sort { |a,b| a.firstname + a.lastname <=> b.firstname + b.lastname }

there is NIL element in userList array.

I.e. this code:

memberList.each do | current_member |
      userList.push( User.find( :first, :conditions => { :id => current_member.user_id } ) )
    end

Push NIL element. This is not plugin problem - there is array:

memberList = Member.find( :all, :conditions => { :project_id => project } )

what not have User. Or .user_id - nil.

Possible to try this, to ignore NIL elements:

memberList.each do | current_member |
      usr = User.find( :first, :conditions => { :id => current_member.user_id } )
      userList.push(usr) if usr
    end

Thanks

Corrected:

memberList.each do | current_member |
      usr = User.find( :first, :conditions => { :id => current_member.user_id } ) rescue nil
      userList.push(usr) if usr
    end

Thanks!

It's work!

How I can check for 'nil' users? May be, it's groups?

How I can check for 'nil' users? May be, it's groups?

try

select * from members where user_id is null

then, if result empty - try to find member records what contain user_id that does not exists.

select * from members where user_id not in (select id from users)

table members store information about assignment users to projects.

I've seen at sources,
And you are right - error happened because of groups.

Modes User and Group are inherited from Principal model.

Ok

Now I have error when I try import:
Unable to import tasks: Validation failed: Трекер имеет непредусмотренное значение**
(Google translate: Unable to import tasks: Validation failed: Tracker has unintended meaning)
I am using Russian (UTF-8) tracker names.

Hm,
is this happened because of new imported data?

What is the line error on error logs (this is in Redmine or in Plugin)?

In Redmine tracker name can be UTF-8 (russian), I've just tried this on test installation.

Thanks

It's happened when I press "Import selected tasks" button

It's line error - no additional info into log

May be screenshots helps?

Yes, I importing new issues. And imported issue IDs present in Redmine (in other projects)

Thanks

I've tried that plugin and looks OK then importing.
But I don't see that update things is working.

I've just tried to import same XML file with changed "%" of task progress.
And got following error:

Unable to import tasks: Validation failed: Name has already been taken

PS: redmine version is trunk, plugin version is 0.0.11

May be I am missing something?

I've tried that plugin
when I'm importing ,it's said

Unable to import tasks: Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the id of nil, use object_id

Hi
How update the redmine project with XML Microsoft project update??

Hi all!

Is this great plugin available also on redmine 2.x?

I tried installing it but got this error:

Otherwise, does anyone know an alternative solution for redmine 2.x?

Thank you.

I use this tool:

http://www.taskadapter.com/

Hi, thank you for the response.

I tried 'task adapter', but it has one limitation to me: it does not support custom fields.

I cannot specify mapping between 'project text' <--> 'redmine custom field'.

I'm investigating right now the port of redmine_loader on redmine 2.x i.e. the one at:
https://github.com/igloo15/redmine_loader

Hi all,

i tried to install this plugin on redmine 2.3.1.
The migration shows an error and i have to remove the line: "Issue.__send__(:include, IssuePatch)" from init.rb

I can upload and analyze this data. If i click import, all seems fine but no issues will be imported ...
Where can i see some log messages or error reporting ?

Thanks a lof for help,
Timo
