Apr 09, 2012Hi,
I was just wondering if the Bonfire extension could have a search feature combined with it so that we can browse through the already logged issues in JIRA. This would help in issues not being duplicated when logging an issue through Bonfire.
The Bonfire has made work faster but i think not being able to browse already logged issues is a major drawback with the Bonfire.

Apr 10, 2012Hi Anand,
Duplicate detection is definitely something we would like to add to Bonfire, and we're tracking the request at BON-131 - Getting issue details... STATUS
Out of interest, would you prefer a manual issue search, an automated search based on the summary/description you've typed, or some combination of the two?
Cheers,
Gilmore

Apr 10, 2012Thanks Gilmore,
I would love a combination of the two, like a search assist based on the summary/description you've typed and a separate manual search like we have in JIRA.

Apr 11, 2012Hi,
I am facing a problem while trying to attach a screenshot to an existing issue using the Bonfire. I get the message "not able to connect to the JIRA server". This issue's frequency is 4 out of 5 times.
Cheers,
Anand

There was a bug relating to network lag in the issue key autocompletion, which has been fixed in Bonfire 2.1.
Cheers,

Jun 04, 2012So, wait, I can't create issues as test cases in Jira and then assign them to people to open and record the results in bonfire?
That kinda completely messes up what we wanted to use JIRA for.

Jun 05, 2012Bonfire allows you to create test sessions in JIRA and assign them to people in which people can record their results, so you can use test sessions as test cases if you wish. See Working with Sessions

Jun 08, 2012I would like to know, is it possible to update the Test Session Programmatically?
1) Test Session Status
2) Notes field
We’re using test automation tool to test stories outside JIRA. I would like to update the Test session status and notes programmatically, if a Test case failed.
Thanks
