RallyAPI (rally_api) – a faster Rally REST api wrapper

Description

RallyAPI is a wrapper of Rally’s Web Service API Json endpoints using rest-client and native json parsing

Installation

gem install rally_api

Usage

Making a connection to Rally

require 'rally_api'

#Setting custom headers
headers = RallyAPI::CustomHttpHeader.new()
headers.name = "My Utility"
headers.vendor = "MyCompany"
headers.version = "1.0"

#or one line custom header
headers = RallyAPI::CustomHttpHeader.new({:vendor => "Vendor", :name => "Custom Name", :version => "1.0"})

config = {:base_url => "https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm"}
config[:username]   = "[email protected]"
config[:password]   = "password"
config[:workspace]  = "Workspace Name"
config[:project]    = "Project Name"
config[:headers]    = headers #from RallyAPI::CustomHttpHeader.new()

@rally = RallyAPI::RallyRestJson.new(config)

Querying Rally

#type names are stored in rally.rally_objects hash, you can inspect there for a list
#Look at the TypePath for all typedefs and this is the key to each hash.
#If you pass in a symbol (for code using versions prior to 0.7.3), it will be downcased and turned into a string
# examples are:   "defect", "hierarchicalrequirement", "portfolioitem/feature"

test_query = RallyAPI::RallyQuery.new()
test_query.type = "defect"
test_query.fetch = "Name"
test_query.workspace = {"_ref" => "https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.25/workspace/12345.js" } #optional
test_query.project = {"_ref" => "https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.25/project/12345.js" }     #optional
test_query.page_size = 200       #optional - default is 200
test_query.limit = 1000          #optional - default is 99999
test_query.project_scope_up = false
test_query.project_scope_down = true
test_query.order = "Name Asc"
test_query.query_string = "(Severity = \"High\")"

results = @rally.find(test_query)

#tip - set the fetch string of the query to the fields you need -
#only resort to the read method if you want your code to be slow
results.each do |defect|
  puts defect.Name   # or defect["Name"]
  defect.read    #read the whole defect from Rally to get all fields (eg Severity)
  puts defect.Severity
end

#for people comfortable passing around blocks:
results = @rally.find do |q|
    q.type = "defect"
    q.fetch = "Name,FormattedID"
    q.query_string = "(Priority = \"Low\")"
end

Reading an Artifact

defect = @rally.read("defect", 12345)      #by ObjectID
#or
defect = @rally.read("defect", "FormattedID|DE42")      #by FormattedID
#or if you already have an object like from a query
results = @rally.find(RallyAPI::RallyQuery.new({:type => :defect, :query_string => "(FormattedID = DE42)"}))
defect = results.first
defect.read

puts defect["Name"]
#or - fields can be read by bracket artifact["FieldDisplayName"] or artifact.FieldDisplayName
puts defect.Name

#An Important note about reading fields and fetching:
#If you query with a specific fetch string, for example query defect and fetch Name,Severity,Description
#You will *only* get back those fields defect.Priority will be nil, but may not be null in Rally
#Use object.read or @rally.read to make sure you read the whole object if you want what is in Rally
#  This is done for speed - lazy loading (going back to get a value from Rally) can be unneccessarily slow
#  *Pick you fetch strings wisely* fetch everything you need and don't rely on read if you don't need it the speed is worth it.

Creating an Artifact

obj = {}
obj["Name"] = "Test Defect created #{DateTime.now()}"
new_de = @rally.create("defect", obj)
puts new_de["FormattedID"]

Updating an Artifact

fields = {}
fields["Severity"] = "Critical"
fields["Description"] = "Description for the issue"
updated_defect = @rally.update("defect", 12345, fields)    #by ObjectID
#or
updated_defect = @rally.update("defect", "FormattedID|DE42", fields)   #by FormattedID
# or
defect = @rally.read("defect", 12345)      #by lookup then udpating via the object
field_updates = {"Description" => "Changed Description"}
defect.update(field_updates)

Utils

#allowed values:  pass the Artifact type string or downcased symbol and the Display Name of the field
@rally.allowed_values("Defect", "Severity")
@rally.allowed_values("story", "ScheduleState")

#re-ranking:  rank_above and rank_below
story1.rank_above(story2)   #in a drag and drop workspace move story1 relative to story2
story1.rank_below(story2)
story1.rank_to_bottom
story1.rank_to_top
