When using Trac and SVN together, how will I know that a file is committed to solve a certain ticket?

Question

For example, a file is modified to do an enhance ticket, what I want to do is associated the committed file to the ticket. When using Trac and SVN together, how will I know that a file is committed to solve a certain ticket? Is this possible?

Thank you.

Answer 1

As stated on the TracWiki, the intended workflow is:

1. A Trac user begins work on a ticket
2. They obtain code from the version control system
3. After the work is completed they perform a commit of their modifications to the version control repository
4. The user inserts the Trac ticket number into the commit message as a TracLink
5. Trac can now display the change set for the ticket

Where the TracLink is something like #1 or ticket:1 or even comment:1:ticket:2 when referring to a ticket.

If you miss creating the link when the commit is made, you can still create one in the ticket comments themselves using TracLinks such as: r2, r1:3, [1:3], log:@1:3, etc.

Answer 2

you can link to the revision when closing ticket: r253, e.g.
and you can link to the ticket in commit message: #7525, e.g.

other than that, I doubt that anything can be done.

Obviously you could parse log message with on-commit hook and make a notification of sorts re tickets of interest, but you'd need to have access to the server I guess.

You may find the Trac post-commit hook useful. It allows you to close tickets using your commit log messages. See the script here.
