JIRA Search Extension README

This is a simple extension that allows you to search your JIRA issues assigned to you. Possibly in the future I will add other search/queries you can perform.

Usage

Type "Jira Search My Issues"

Features

View issues assigned to you
View comments on issues
Add comments to issues
Transition issues from one status to another

Tip: The list that shows when you execute the command can be filtered as you type.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

Configuration Required Fields

jiraSearch.url - base url for your jira site (ex. "http://mysite.jira.com")

jiraSearch.username - username for your jira account (typically not the email address)

jiraSearch.password - Password for your jira account

"jiraSearch.url" : "http://mysite.jira.com",
"jiraSearch.username" : "username",
"jiraSearch.password" : "password"

Configuration (optional)

How JIRA issues will be displayed you can customize this based on your custom fields in your JIRA implementation

jiraSearch.labelFormat - The first part of an issue listing

jiraSearch.descriptionFormat - Second part. Smaller text next to the label. Issue summary by default.

jiraSearch.detailFormat - Appears below the label and description. Default is the issue description.

"jiraSearch.labelFormat" : "{fields.status.name} - [{fields.issuetype.name}][{fields.priority.name}] {key}",
"jiraSearch.descriptionFormat" : "{fields.summary}",
"jiraSearch.detailFormat" : "{fields.description}"

For example, the provided labelFormat will appear like this:

TODO - [Bug][Major] ISSUE-1337

How JIRA issues will be copied to your clipboard

"jiraSearch.clipboardFormat": "{key} - {fields.summary} - {fields.description}"

JQL (Jira Query Language) query format (only token available is username currently). Currently will give all issues assigned to you, where status is not done, and it will be ordered by created date.

"jiraSearch.jql" : "assignee={username} and status!=Done order by created"

How often to update issues (in minutes)

"jiraSearch.updateInterval" : 5

Enable Worklogs

Worklog support is an experimental feature that could use a tester. It is disabled by default.

When enabled (set this option to true) you can view and add worklogs to an issue.

This feature does not work properly with third party time tracking plugins such as Tempo.

"jiraSearch.enableWorklogs: false

Known Issues

Issues will not get pulled everytime you run the command, they will only get pulled when you run the command the first time and then they will be pulled every X interval (default 5 minutes) which is customizable.
