=head1 NAME

Bugzilla::Webservice::Bug - The API for creating, changing, and getting the
details of bugs.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This part of the Bugzilla API allows you to file a new bug in Bugzilla,
or get information about bugs that have already been filed.

=head1 METHODS

See L<Bugzilla::WebService> for a description of how parameters are passed,
and what B<STABLE>, B<UNSTABLE>, and B<EXPERIMENTAL> mean.

=head2 Utility Functions

=over

=item C<legal_values> 

B<EXPERIMENTAL>

=over

=item B<Description>

Tells you what values are allowed for a particular field.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<field> - The name of the field you want information about.
This should be the same as the name you would use in L</create>, below.

=item C<product_id> - If you're picking a product-specific field, you have
to specify the id of the product you want the values for.

=back

=item B<Returns> 

C<values> - An array of strings: the legal values for this field.
The values will be sorted as they normally would be in Bugzilla.

=item B<Errors>

=over

=item 106 (Invalid Product)

You were required to specify a product, and either you didn't, or you
specified an invalid product (or a product that you can't access).

=item 108 (Invalid Field Name)

You specified a field that doesn't exist or isn't a drop-down field.

=back

=back


=back

=head2 Bug Information

=over


=item C<comments>

B<UNSTABLE>

=over

=item B<Description>

This allows you to get data about comments, given a list of bugs 
and/or comment ids.

=item B<Params>

B<Note>: At least one of C<bug_ids> or C<comment_ids> is required.

In addition to the parameters below, this method also accepts the
standard L<include_fields|Bugzilla::WebService/include_fields> and
L<exclude_fields|Bugzilla::WebService/exclude_fields> arguments.

=over

=item C<bug_ids> 

C<array> An array that can contain both bug IDs and bug aliases.
All of the comments (that are visible to you) will be returned for the
specified bugs.

=item C<comment_ids> 

C<array> An array of integer comment_ids. These comments will be
returned individually, separate from any other comments in their
respective bugs.

=item C<new_since>

C<dateTime> If specified, the method will only return comments I<newer>
than this time. This only affects comments returned from the C<bug_ids>
argument. You will always be returned all comments you request in the
C<comment_ids> argument, even if they are older than this date.

=back

=item B<Returns>

Two items are returned:

=over

=item C<bugs>

This is used for bugs specified in C<bug_ids>. This is a hash,
where the keys are the numeric ids of the bugs, and the value is
a hash with a single key, C<comments>, which is an array of comments.
(The format of comments is described below.)

Note that any individual bug will only be returned once, so if you
specify an id multiple times in C<bug_ids>, it will still only be
returned once.

=item C<comments>

Each individual comment requested in C<comment_ids> is returned here,
in a hash where the numeric comment id is the key, and the value
is the comment. (The format of comments is described below.) 

=back

A "comment" as described above is a hash that contains the following
keys:

=over

=item id

C<int> The globally unique ID for the comment.

=item bug_id

C<int> The ID of the bug that this comment is on.

=item text

C<string> The actual text of the comment.

=item author

C<string> The login name of the comment's author.

=item time

C<dateTime> The time (in Bugzilla's timezone) that the comment was added.

=item is_private

C<boolean> True if this comment is private (only visible to a certain
group called the "insidergroup"), False otherwise.

=back

=item B<Errors>

This method can throw all the same errors as L</get>. In addition,
it can also throw the following errors:

=over

=item 110 (Comment Is Private)

You specified the id of a private comment in the C<comment_ids>
argument, and you are not in the "insider group" that can see
private comments.

=item 111 (Invalid Comment ID)

You specified an id in the C<comment_ids> argument that is invalid--either
you specified something that wasn't a number, or there is no comment with
that id.

=item C<get> 

B<EXPERIMENTAL>

=over

=item B<Description>

Gets information about particular bugs in the database.

Note: Can also be called as "get_bugs" for compatibilty with Bugzilla 3.0 API.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<ids>

An array of numbers and strings.

If an element in the array is entirely numeric, it represents a bug_id
from the Bugzilla database to fetch. If it contains any non-numeric 
characters, it is considered to be a bug alias instead, and the bug with 
that alias will be loaded. 

Note that it's possible for aliases to be disabled in Bugzilla, in which
case you will be told that you have specified an invalid bug_id if you
try to specify an alias. (It will be error 100.)

=back

=item B<Returns>

A hash containing a single element, C<bugs>. This is an array of hashes. 
Each hash contains the following items:

=over

=item alias

C<string> The alias of this bug. If there is no alias or aliases are 
disabled in this Bugzilla, this will be an empty string.

=item assigned_to 

C<string> The login name of the user to whom the bug is assigned.

=item component

C<string> The name of the current component of this bug.

=item creation_time

C<dateTime> When the bug was created.

isn't a duplicate of any bug, this will be an empty int.

=item id

C<int> The numeric bug_id of this bug.

=item internals B<UNSTABLE>

A hash. The internals of a L<Bugzilla::Bug> object. This is extremely
unstable, and you should only rely on this if you absolutely have to. The
structure of the hash may even change between point releases of Bugzilla.

=item is_open 

C<boolean> Returns true (1) if this bug is open, false (0) if it is closed.

=item last_change_time

C<dateTime> When the bug was last changed.

=item priority

C<string> The priority of the bug.

=item product

C<string> The name of the product this bug is in.

=item resolution

C<string> The current resolution of the bug, or an empty string if the bug is open. 

=item severity

C<string> The current severity of the bug.

=item status 

C<string> The current status of the bug.

=item summary

C<string> The summary of this bug.

=back

=item B<Errors>

=over

=item 100 (Invalid Bug Alias)

If you specified an alias and either: (a) the Bugzilla you're querying
doesn't support aliases or (b) there is no bug with that alias.

=item 101 (Invalid Bug ID)

The bug_id you specified doesn't exist in the database.

=item C<ids>

An array of numbers and strings.

If an element in the array is entirely numeric, it represents a bug_id 
from the Bugzilla database to fetch. If it contains any non-numeric 
characters, it is considered to be a bug alias instead, and the data bug 
with that alias will be loaded. 

Note that it's possible for aliases to be disabled in Bugzilla, in which
case you will be told that you have specified an invalid bug_id if you
try to specify an alias. (It will be error 100.)

=back

=item B<Returns>

A hash containing a single element, C<bugs>. This is a hash of hashes. 
Each hash has the numeric bug id as a key, and contains the following
items:

=over

=item alias

C<string> The alias of this bug. If there is no alias or aliases are 
disabled in this Bugzilla, this will be undef.

=over

=item when

C<dateTime> The date the bug activity/change happened.

=item who

C<string> The login name of the user who performed the bug change.

=item changes

C<array> An array of hashes which contain all the changes that happened
to the bug at this time (as specified by C<when>). Each hash contains 
the following items:

=over

=item field_name

C<string> The name of the bug field that has changed.

=item removed

C<string> The previous value of the bug field which has been deleted 
by the change.

=item added

C<string> The new value of the bug field which has been added by the change.

=item attachment_id

C<int> The id of the attachment that was changed. This only appears if 
the change was to an attachment, otherwise C<attachment_id> will not be
present in this hash.

=item C<search>

B<UNSTABLE>

=over

=item B<Description>

Allows you to search for bugs based on particular criteria.

=item B<Params>

Bugs are returned if they match I<exactly> the criteria you specify
in these parameters. That is, we don't match against 
substrings--if a bug is in the "Widgets" product and you ask for bugs in
the "Widg" product, you won't get anything.

Criteria are joined in a logical AND. That is, you will be returned
bugs that match I<all> of the criteria, not bugs that match I<any> of
the criteria.

Each parameter can be either the type it says, or an array of the types
it says. If you pass an array, it means "Give me bugs with I<any> of
these values." For example, if you wanted bugs that were in either
the "Foo" or "Bar" products, you'd pass:

 product => ['Foo', 'Bar']

Fields below only have descriptions if it's not clear what bug field
they match up to, or if they have some special behavior.

Some Bugzillas may treat your arguments case-sensitively, depending
on what database system they are using. Most commonly, though, Bugzilla is 
not case-sensitive with the arguments passed (because MySQL is the 
most-common database to use with Bugzilla, and MySQL is not case sensitive).

=over

=item C<alias>

C<string> The unique alias for this bug. Note that you can search
by alias even if the alias field is disabled in this Bugzilla, but
it's likely that there won't be any aliases set on bugs, in that case.

=item C<assigned_to>

C<string> The login name of a user that a bug is assigned to.

=item C<component>

C<string> The name of the Component that the bug is in. Note that
if there are multiple Compoonents with the same name, and you search
for that name, bugs in I<all> those Components will be returned. If you
don't want this, be sure to also specify the C<product> argument.

=item C<creation_time>

C<dateTime> When the bug was created.

=item C<id>

C<int> The numeric id of the bug.

=item C<last_change_time>

C<dateTime> Limit the search to only those bugs which have changed 
in some way since the specified time. It includes all bugs changed 
between the specified time and the present. Note: only a single 
C<dateTime> will accepted, not an array.

=item C<limit>

C<int> Limit the number of results returned to C<int> records.

=item C<offset>

C<int> Used in conjunction with the C<limit> argument, C<offset> defines 
the starting position for the search. For example, given a search that 
would return 100 bugs, setting C<limit> to 10 and C<offset> to 10 would return 
bugs 11 through 20 from the set of 100.

=item C<op_sys>

C<string> The "Operating System" field of a bug.

=item C<platform>

C<string> The Platform (sometimes called "Hardware") field of a bug.

=item C<priority>

C<string> The Priority field on a bug.

=item C<product>

C<string> The name of the Product that the bug is in.

=item C<reporter>

C<string> The login name of the user who reported the bug.

=item C<resolution>

C<string> The current resolution--only set if a bug is closed. You can
find open bugs by searching for bugs with an empty resolution.

=item C<severity>

C<string> The Severity field on a bug.

=item C<status>

C<string> The current status of a bug (not including its resolution,
if it has one, which is a separate field above).

=item C<summary>

C<string> The single-line summary field of a bug. (This isn't very
useful to search on, since we don't do substring matches, only exact
matches.)

=item C<target_milestone>

C<string> The Target Milestone field of a bug. Note that even if this
Bugzilla does not have the Target Milestone field enabled, you can
still search for bugs by Target Milestone. However, it is likely that
in that case, most bugs will not have a Target Milestone set (it
defaults to "---" when the field isn't enabled).

=item C<qa_contact>

C<string> The login name of the bug's QA Contact. Note that even if
this Bugzilla does not have the QA Contact field enabled, you can
still search for bugs by QA Contact (though it is likely that no bug
will have a QA Contact set, if the field is disabled).

=item C<url>

C<string> The "URL" field of a bug.

=item C<version>

C<string> The Version field of a bug.

=item C<votes>

C<int> How many votes this bug has, total.

=item C<whiteboard>

C<string> The "Status Whiteboard" field of a bug.

=back

=item B<Returns>

The same as L</get>.

Note that you will only be returned information about bugs that you
can see. Bugs that you can't see will be entirely excluded from the
results. So, if you want to see private bugs, you will have to first 
log in and I<then> call this method.

=item B<Errors>

Currently, this function doesn't throw any special errors (other than
the ones that all webservice functions can throw). If you specify
an invalid value for a particular field, you just won't get any results
for that value.

=head2 Bug Creation and Modification

=over


=item C<create> 

B<EXPERIMENTAL>

=over

=item B<Description>

This allows you to create a new bug in Bugzilla. If you specify any
invalid fields, they will be ignored. If you specify any fields you
are not allowed to set, they will just be set to their defaults or ignored.

You cannot currently set all the items here that you can set on enter_bug.cgi.

The WebService interface may allow you to set things other than those listed
here, but realize that anything undocumented is B<UNSTABLE> and will very
likely change in the future.

=item B<Params>

Some params must be set, or an error will be thrown. These params are
marked B<Required>. 

Some parameters can have defaults set in Bugzilla, by the administrator.
If these parameters have defaults set, you can omit them. These parameters
are marked B<Defaulted>.

Clients that want to be able to interact uniformly with multiple
Bugzillas should always set both the params marked B<Required> and those 
marked B<Defaulted>, because some Bugzillas may not have defaults set
for B<Defaulted> parameters, and then this method will throw an error
if you don't specify them.

The descriptions of the parameters below are what they mean when Bugzilla is
being used to track software bugs. They may have other meanings in some
installations.

=over

=item C<product> (string) B<Required> - The name of the product the bug
is being filed against.

=item C<component> (string) B<Required> - The name of a component in the
product above.

=item C<summary> (string) B<Required> - A brief description of the bug being
filed.

=item C<version> (string) B<Required> - A version of the product above;
the version the bug was found in.

=item C<description> (string) B<Defaulted> - The initial description for 
this bug. Some Bugzilla installations require this to not be blank.

=item C<op_sys> (string) B<Defaulted> - The operating system the bug was
discovered on.

=item C<platform> (string) B<Defaulted> - What type of hardware the bug was
experienced on.

=item C<priority> (string) B<Defaulted> - What order the bug will be fixed
in by the developer, compared to the developer's other bugs.

=item C<severity> (string) B<Defaulted> - How severe the bug is.

=item C<alias> (string) - A brief alias for the bug that can be used 
instead of a bug number when accessing this bug. Must be unique in
all of this Bugzilla.

=item C<assigned_to> (username) - A user to assign this bug to, if you
don't want it to be assigned to the component owner.

=item C<cc> (array) - An array of usernames to CC on this bug.

=item C<qa_contact> (username) - If this installation has QA Contacts
enabled, you can set the QA Contact here if you don't want to use
the component's default QA Contact.

=item C<status> (string) - The status that this bug should start out as.
Note that only certain statuses can be set on bug creation.

=item C<target_milestone> (string) - A valid target milestone for this
product.

=back

In addition to the above parameters, if your installation has any custom
fields, you can set them just by passing in the name of the field and
its value as a string.

=item B<Returns>

A hash with one element, C<id>. This is the id of the newly-filed bug.

=item B<Errors>

=over

=item 51 (Invalid Object)

The component you specified is not valid for this Product.

=item 103 (Invalid Alias)

The alias you specified is invalid for some reason. See the error message
for more details.

=item 104 (Invalid Field)

One of the drop-down fields has an invalid value, or a value entered in a
text field is too long. The error message will have more detail.

=item 105 (Invalid Component)

You didn't specify a component.

=item 106 (Invalid Product)

Either you didn't specify a product, this product doesn't exist, or
you don't have permission to enter bugs in this product.

=item 107 (Invalid Summary)

You didn't specify a summary for the bug.

=item 504 (Invalid User)

Either the QA Contact, Assignee, or CC lists have some invalid user
in them. The error message will have more details.

=back

=item B<History>

=over

=item Before B<3.0.4>, parameters marked as B<Defaulted> were actually
B<Required>, due to a bug in Bugzilla.

=back

=back

=item C<add_comment> 

B<EXPERIMENTAL>

=over

=item B<Description>

This allows you to add a comment to a bug in Bugzilla.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<id> (int) B<Required> - The id or alias of the bug to append a 
comment to.

=item C<comment> (string) B<Required> - The comment to append to the bug.
If this is empty or all whitespace, an error will be thrown saying that
you did not set the C<comment> parameter.

=item C<private> (boolean) - If set to true, the comment is private, otherwise
it is assumed to be public.

=item C<work_time> (double) - Adds this many hours to the "Hours Worked"
on the bug. If you are not in the time tracking group, this value will
be ignored.


=back

=item B<Returns>

A hash with one element, C<id> whose value is the id of the newly-created comment.

=item B<Errors>

=over

=item 100 (Invalid Bug Alias) 

If you specified an alias and either: (a) the Bugzilla you're querying
doesn't support aliases or (b) there is no bug with that alias.

=item 101 (Invalid Bug ID)

The id you specified doesn't exist in the database.

=item 108 (Bug Edit Denied)

You did not have the necessary rights to edit the bug.

=back

=item B<History>

=item C<update_see_also>

B<UNSTABLE>

=over

=item B<Description>

Adds or removes URLs for the "See Also" field on bugs. These URLs must
point to some valid bug in some Bugzilla installation or in Launchpad.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<ids>

Array of C<int>s or C<string>s. The ids or aliases of bugs that you want
to modify.

=item C<add>

Array of C<string>s. URLs to Bugzilla bugs. These URLs will be added to
the See Also field. They must be valid URLs to C<show_bug.cgi> in a
Bugzilla installation or to a bug filed at launchpad.net.

If the URLs don't start with C<http://> or C<https://>, it will be assumed
that C<http://> should be added to the beginning of the string.

It is safe to specify URLs that are already in the "See Also" field on
a bug--they will just be silently ignored.

=item C<remove>

Array of C<string>s. These URLs will be removed from the See Also field.
You must specify the full URL that you want removed. However, matching
is done case-insensitively, so you don't have to specify the URL in
exact case, if you don't want to.

If you specify a URL that is not in the See Also field of a particular bug,
it will just be silently ignored. Invaild URLs are currently silently ignored,
though this may change in some future version of Bugzilla.

=back

NOTE: If you specify the same URL in both C<add> and C<remove>, it will
be I<added>. (That is, C<add> overrides C<remove>.)

=item B<Returns>

C<changes>, a hash where the keys are numeric bug ids and the contents
are a hash with one key, C<see_also>. C<see_also> points to a hash, which
contains two keys, C<added> and C<removed>. These are arrays of strings,
representing the actual changes that were made to the bug.

Here's a diagram of what the return value looks like for updating
bug ids 1 and 2:

 {
   changes => {
       1 => {
           see_also => {
               added   => (an array of bug URLs),
               removed => (an array of bug URLs),
           }
       },
       2 => {
           see_also => {
               added   => (an array of bug URLs),
               removed => (an array of bug URLs),
           }
       }
   }
 }

This return value allows you to tell what this method actually did. It is in
this format to be compatible with the return value of a future C<Bug.update>
method.

=item B<Errors>

This method can throw all of the errors that L</get> throws, plus:

=over

=item 108 (Bug Edit Denied)

You did not have the necessary rights to edit the bug.

=item 112 (Invalid Bug URL)

One of the URLs you provided did not look like a valid bug URL.
