I have used the latest connector from Rally and set it up with Task Scheduler to run periodically. It works well, however I have encountered problems when trying to extend it.
Within the config.yml file used, there is an UpdateArtifactState flag that I believe, when set to True, will make use of the statex.rb file. This file handles how the commit message from SVN is parsed. It is here that I find my problem;
I want to extend the connector to allow for the # symbol to be included in the Rally task identifier (DE55555 -> #DE5555 for example). However, upon testing this file does not seem to be used.
Question: if my assumption is correct, and the statex.rb file is merely an example and not used in execution, how can I extend the Rally Connector to pick up tags the way I see fit?
You may try the following:
make a new Ruby class and put it in to the extension subdirectory.
Example: extension/my_state_extractor.rb in this file he has a class defined as 'MyStateExtractor'
Pattern your file from the statex.rb file. Then, in your config in the Rally section, you'll need an entry of
StateExtractorClass : MyStateExtractor(message)
Customarily this entry will follow the entry for UpdateArtifactState : True
