I did this in the replica site and it works:
issue.comments = commentHelper.mergeComments(issue, replica,
{
comment ->
comment.body =
comment.author.displayName +
" commented: \n" +
comment.body.replaceAll("TO_SYNC", "") + "\n"
}
)
Excellent
You do have the choice to replace the label on the source or the target.
I would prefer to do it on the source, because it might be that you want to change that behaviour in the future. Having this logic on the target creates a dependency which is more difficult to maintain.
Anyway - thanks for finding a solution.
Thanks for the suggestion, will look into it.
Absolutely.
In the outgoing sync. make sure that replica.comments only contain the comments which have 'TO_SYNC'
replica.comments = issue.comments.findAll { it.body.contains("TO_SYNC") }
Give it a try
Additional step, can I remove the "TO_SYNC" from the comment before synchronizing it?
Yes you can
// filter out comments
def transferComments = issue.comments.findAll { it.body.contains("TO_SYNC") }
// remove the to_sync label from the body before sending it
replica.comments = tranferComments.each { it.replaceAll("TO_SYNC", "") }
Great, Thanks!
The sync gives this error on the replaceAll part:
Check out the error message
> com.exalate.basic.domain.hubobject.v1.BasicHubComment.replaceAll() is applicable for argument types: (String, String) values: [TO_SYNC, ]
What is the object replaceAll is being applied on, and what should it be.
I know, I tried the below option, the error goes away but the replace does not work, it transfers also the TO_SYNC part:
replica.comments = transferComments.findAll { it.body.replaceAll("TO_SYNC", "") }
Actually this is what I did but the replace does not work:
:
replica.comments = transferComments.each { it.body.replaceAll("TO_SYNC", "") }
Ah
you need to return the object in your each closure like in
replica.comments = transferComments.each {
it.body.replaceAll("TO_SYNC", "")
it
}
(I'm doing this between meetings - so ymmv)
I pasted the above but still it does not remove the TO_SYNC. Whenever you have time, thanks!
Try this.
replica.comments = transferComments.each {
it.body = it.body.replaceAll("TO_SYNC", "")
it
}
Hi, I want comments to be sync only if they start with a specific string, something like 'TO_SYNC'.
Is it possible to do that with some kind of string comparison?
