DESCRIPTION

Net::Redmine is an mechanized-based programming API against redmine server.

METHODS

new(url => ..., user => ..., password => ...)

Constructor. You need to construct a Net::Redmine object before you can do anything. The parameters to this function is a list of key-value pairs. All of these 3 pairs are required.

The url should points to a project url. Like http://example.org/projects/foo. It's the one that points you to the project overview tab.

The user and the password are the login credentials to login this project.

Notice: One Net::Redmine object can only handles one project on a redmine server. You should create multiple Net::Redmine objects if you're trying to manipulate multiple project at the same program.

create( ticket => { ... } )

The create instance method can create tickets. In the future releases it could also be used to create other kinds of assets.

The value to the ticket key is a HashRef that should at least contain subject and <description> of the ticket. For example:

my $t = $r->create(ticket => {
    subject => "Got a bug",
    description => "Found a bug in the bag"
});

The returned value of this method is a Net::Redmine::Ticket object. Also read the document of that class to see how to use it.

copy( ticket => {id => Integer, ... } }

The copy instance method can copy an existing ticket. The id is the id of the original ticket we want to copy. The other values to the ticket key is the same hasref as for create.

lookup( ticket => { id => Integer } }

Given a ticket id, this instance method load the ticket content from the server, it also returns a Net::Redmine::Ticket object.

At this point, only id can be specified.
