FogBugz Command Line Client

Manage FogBugz cases from the command line

A simple command line client application that can be used to manage your FogBugz account, working on status, read cases, and leave short notes. This is built using the Symfony Console.

Quick Start

Run the fb phar file from the command line. It will prompt you for host, user, and password. It will store an API token in a .fogbugz.yml file.

Setup

You don't have to clone this repo. You can download the phar file and save it to your computer as fb somewhere in your PATH.

This app stores a config file with host, user, an api token and other settings. If you'd like to change this path, set a env var for FOGBUGZ_CONFIG for a value such as ~/.fogbugz.yml to store the config file in you home directory.

`env FOGBUGZ_CONFIG='~/.fogbugz.yml'`

You can either locate the fb phar file in a bin path, or add an alias to your bash config for the file

`alias fb='~/Projects/fogbugz-php-cli/fb'`

Dependencies

This app requires PHP 5.3. If you need to run on PHP 5.2, you can use the older cli branch that has fewer depencies, but similar basic functionality.

Developing New Commands

The project depends on Composer to load dependencies. Once you've got that, run composer install to load the the required libraries. From this point, you should be able to develop by running php working.php.

If you'd like to add new commands to the repo, see the src/FogBugz/Command directory. After creating a new command file, add it to the src/FogBugz/Cli/Working.php file around line 50 where we init the commands.

Building the Phar

If you'd like to rebuild the phar file, you'll need Pake. Once you've got that, you'll need to run pake build. It will clean the files, run some linters, and then finally build the phar file.

Troubleshooting

• date_default_timezone_get()) : Some users are getting messages about system timezones. This is a problem with your php config. Please see the PHP Docs for information about fixing this message.
