#
#  EXAMPLE_TRIGGER.PY -- AN EXAMPLE PERFORCE TRIGGER FOR ENFORCING WORKFLOW
#
#           Richard Brooksby, Ravenbrook Limited, 2000-12-06
#
#
# 1. INTRODUCTION
#
# This is an example Perforce trigger script for preventing changes
# to areas of the Perforce repository without certain defect tracker
# conditions being met [Requirements, 57].
#
# This document is intended for administrators of the Perforce Defect
# Tracking Integration (P4DTI).
#
# This document is not confidential.
#
#
# 2. USING THE TRIGGER
#
# First, read section 5.2.2, "Installing Perforce triggers to enforce
# workflow" of the "Perforce Defect Tracking Integration Administrator's
# Guide" [RB 2000-08-10, 5.2.2].
#
# To use this trigger, first adapt the code to make it test the
# condition that you want to enforce.
#
# This example script insists that submissions fix to status "closed" at
# least one issue which has a priority of "critical".  This almost
# certainly isn't quite what you want, so you'll need to do some
# programming.
#
# You will also need to configure the P4DTI to replicate the fields that
# you want to check.  Most likely you'll want to check that the
# "priority" or "severity" or something similar is above a certain
# level, or that the "approval" field has been set by a manager, or
# something like that.  You need to make sure the relevant fields are
# replicated.  See section 5.1, "P4DTI configuration" of the "Perforce
# Defect Tracking Integration Administrator's Guide" [RB 2000-08-10,
# 5.1].
#
# Be sure to read the "Triggers" section in chapter 6 of the "Perforce
# System Administrator's Guide" [Perforce 2000-10-11].  Then use the "p4
# triggers" command to insert a line like:
#
#         enforce-critical //depot/release/master/... "/usr/local/bin/python /whatever-path-to/your-trigger.py %serverport% root %client% %changelist%"
#
# Where "root" is a user which has access to Perforce without a
# password.  (Or you could edit this script to include the password.)
#
# See "Perforce Defect Tracking Integration Administrator's Guide" for
# more information about this and other aspects of configuring the P4DTI
# [RB 2000-08-10].

    try:

            results.append(marshal.load(stream))
    except EOFError:

    #    'User': 'newton',
    #    'code': 'stat',
    #    'Job': '00003',
    #    'Status': 'closed'},
    #   ...]

    # Enforce the rule that every submission must close at least one
    # job with critical severity.  It might affect other jobs as well,
    # but we don't care.

    for fix in fixes:
        assert fix.has_key("Change") and fix["Change"] == change
        assert fix.has_key("Status")

        job = p4("job -o %s" % fix["Job"])[0]

        if (fix["Status"] == "closed"
            and job.has_key("Severity")
            and job["Severity"] == "critical"):
            sys.exit(0)

    # No job was found that passed the test, so print a message to tell
    # the submittor why we're refusing to accept the change.
    print("Submissions to this codeline must fix at least one "
          "critical issue.")
    sys.exit(1)
