Report cli

Automate generating invoices from youtrack reports and other time-tracking related functionality.

Usage

./rprt.php invoice -y -p -s

This command would send an invoice for last month created from the template file and last month report from youtrack as an email attachment.

./rprt.php report -r

Asks which report to print from the list of your reports and then prints out a table with that report.

Install/Getting started

Get .phar file from r, run configuration wizzard (planned for version 1.0).

Before version 1.0 is released you have to navigate into /app directory and call command through .rprt.php file.

Requirements

1. You have to create a youtrack API token.

2. You have to configure rprt-cli app.

   • Default folder that app checks for config file is in ~/.config/rprt-cli/.
3. You have to allow less secure applications in your gmail if you are using that email provider.

Building a phar

php box: https://github.com/box-project/box

./box.phar compile

Specs

A simple Console Command that prints out monthly report from youtrack.

Simple configuration:

• authentication token value
• project categories
• hourly wage
• folder for reports

Components

• report service - provides a csv of a report

  • local csv file read (provided via argument)

  • youtrack api request (with Guzzle and Youtrack API php client )

    • Authentication: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/devportal/Manage-Permanent-Token.html#obtain-permanent-token
    • API documentation: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/devportal/youtrack-rest-api.html

• parse report

  • compute hours per configured project categories from report
  • output a table

• Create an invoice

  • send the invoice (to Wolfgang)

ValueObjects

List my reports

curl 'https://drunomics.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/api/reports?$top=-1&fields=id,name,own,owner(login,name)&query=owner:+%7Bme%7D' -H "Authorization: Bearer $YTOKEN" -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' | jq '.[] | select( .own == true )'

Motivation

• practice php

• automatization of repetitive task

  • is it worth it? according to xkcd table - you should spend 1 day for automating a monthly task that takes 30 minutes. That would be if only I'd be using this app. If it get's picked up, by 5 others - it is worth 5 days of development.
• remove errors from reports
