JIRA GANTT Chart Report Plugin

i think theres a bug in line 9 of ganttchart-report.vm
<img src='/charts?filename=$ganttChart' border='0' />

shouldnt it be
<img src='$req.contextPath/charts?filename=$ganttChart' border='0'/> ?

It seems that if the report contains unassigned issues, I get the following error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Null 'name' argument. at org.jfree.data.general.Series.(Series.java:103) at org.jfree.data.general.Series.(Series.java:92) at org.jfree.data.gantt.TaskSeries.(TaskSeries.java:68) at com.atlassian.jira.plugin.reports.ganttchart.GraphicalGanttChartReport.getChartData(GraphicalGanttChartReport.java:298) at com.atlassian.jira.plugin.reports.ganttchart.GraphicalGanttChartReport.generateReportHtml(GraphicalGanttChartReport.java:120)

As soon as I run it on a project, where all issues to be contained in the gannt chart, are assigned it works.

I'm using 0.5.1 on jira 3.3.1

My understanding was that this plugin would work from start date to end date, not working back from end date with the estimate of work.

I've copied the jar into Jira's WEB-INF/lib directory. I've made a "Start Date" custom field, and populated issues with Start Date, End Date, and work required, but I don't get tasks filling from start to end date. Any hints as to what I'm doing wrong?

How about taking out these unneccessary date tests (in GraphicalGanttChartReport.java)
If one uses different (better  date formats like the ISO (e.g. 2005-10-26) this plugin simply doesn't work at all

  - Panu

OutlookDate outlookDate = outlookDateManager.getOutlookDate(i18nBean.getLocale());

-        if (startDate == null || outlookDate.isDatePickerDate(outlookDate.formatDMY(startDate))) {
+        if (startDate == null) { // || outlookDate.isDatePickerDate(outlookDate.formatDMY(startDate))) {
action.addError("startDate", action.getText("report.ganttchart.startdate.required"));
}

-        if (endDate == null || outlookDate.isDatePickerDate(outlookDate.formatDMY(endDate))) {
+        if (endDate == null) { // || outlookDate.isDatePickerDate(outlookDate.formatDMY(endDate))) {
action.addError("endDate", action.getText("report.ganttchart.enddate.required"));
}

Currently the report is based on one Project. This is too simplistic. I'd like to create a report for e.g. a specific user, or any thing. Is it possible to have the report beeing generated based on the result of an arbitrary filter  (as is done fir the 'Single  Level Group By Report')?

There're no specific plans for upgrading the Gantt chart at the moment. The source code is available so if you want to, it shoudn't be too hard to extend that to do what you want it to!

I get a column in my report named "Verknüpfungen".  ????

I think you have miseed the esential, hHow do i invoke this report ?! I spet 30 minutes i did not figure it up.....

I'm running JIRA v.3.4.3. I've installed plugin 0.5.1 correctly and the link is appearing in the Report section.
However, when I select a project, start date and end date, I receive the "There are no issues within the specified range" screen even though there are issues within the range! In summary, I can't view any reports using the search facility provided by the plugin.

This may need to be updated to support 3.5. I'm getting an invalid start and end date no matter what date I choose.

 I changed the Look and Feel of the date picker in the file atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties to be the same as in my older Jira version (3.3.3).
 The plugin accepted the date format. In case of an empty project now the plugin worked correctly, outputting: "There are no issues within the specified range."
 But: now I have a problem in another place of the plugin. I got the following error message (just the beginning):

message Could not execute action [ConfigureReport]:com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.LinkCollection.getAllIssues()Ljava/util/Set;
<p><small><small><pre>java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.LinkCollection.getAllIssues()Ljava/util/Set; at com.atlassian.jira.plugin.reports.ganttchart.GraphicalGanttChartReport.categorizeSearchResults(GraphicalGanttChartReport.java:275)   ...

 Since the source is accessible I could find the place in the source where this function is called, but I'm not a Java programmer and I could not find out how to debug this.

The function getAllIssues() is still present (and still public) in Jira 3.5 as can be seen in:
http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/3.5/com/atlassian/jira/issue/link/LinkCollection.html&nbsp;

Maybe someone has an idea?

Hey All,
I have updated this plugin so that it will work with JIRA 3.5. It just need to be built against the newer version of JIRA. While I was in there I got rid of the validation on the date format so that it should work with whatever date format you are using. I hope this fixes things up for you.
Thanks,
Dylan

Question:

   - How do i set start date ? Creating a "Start Date" field does not seem to work.

Issue (sorry, could not login to tracker):

    - Create a issue, log work for today. Log more work, changing estimates to take longer. Get the report and you will see you will have worked in the past, because changing estimates change the start date, not the end date of the issue.

Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks,

Julio 

Hello,

I just installed the current release of the gantt-plugin (0.5.2) running with JIRA 3.5.3 (as a war-archive from my tomcat 5.5/mysql4 installation). Finally, after deleting the tomcat/work and tomcat/webapps/jira directories, I succeeded in accessing the plugin.

But whenever I try to create a Gantt-report filling in the dates and clicking "create", I get the following error:

Could not execute action [ConfigureReport]:Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.<p><small><small><pre>java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.initDisplay(Native Method) at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.<clinit>(X11GraphicsEnvironment.java:134) at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:141) at java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(GraphicsEnvironment.java:62) at java.awt.Font.initializeFont(Font.java:308) at java.awt.Font.<init>(Font.java:344) at org.jfree.chart.axis.Axis.<clinit>(Axis.java:121) at org.jfree.chart.ChartFactory.createGanttChart(ChartFactory.java:966) at com.atlassian.jira.plugin.reports.ganttchart.GraphicalGanttChartReport.generateAndSaveGanttChart(GraphicalGanttChartReport.java:208) at

as I am running a webapplication, I do not understand the message at all. There is no X-Server running on the linux server and I will never have any output on a X-Server.

Going back with the browser's  back-button an trying again results in:

Could not execute action [ConfigureReport]:null<p><small><small><pre>java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError at org.jfree.chart.ChartFactory.createGanttChart(ChartFactory.java:966) at com.atlassian.jira.plugin.reports.ganttchart.GraphicalGanttChartReport.generateAndSaveGanttChart(GraphicalGanttChartReport.java:208) at

Are there some undocumented jar-dependencies with this plugin?

(in my installation jfreechart-1.0.0-pre2.jar is included)

Any suggestion?

Thanks, Bernhard 

Hello Keith,

with option "-Djava.awt.headless=true" the plugin now works as expected

Thanks,

Hello,

the plugin seems not to work with Jira 3.6.x.

I tested it out with Jira 3.6.1 enterprise standalone and got following error:
