 Description  « Hide
JIRA is an amazing tool. I'm pushing hard to migrate our defect/features system to JIRA (we're mostly developing C#/C++ solutions), but there's a blocker point : support for Visual SourceSafe aka VSS (switching cost for the VCM won't be accepted in my customer current context; I guess it's the same for many of .net based applications, although Subversion is gaining momentum).

Are there plan to implement support of VSS ?

Is there a way of listing comments for all files from the command line?

I found this:

But I couldn't work out which command was the equivalent of 'cvs log'

Have a look at the history command :

Be aware of an important thing when designing : the output of SS.exe is language dependent (at least, it's different in french and in english).

I can provide you with some output for the french culture (the one I require).

Can you create an attachment with the output of this command? The online docs don't really have much in the way of showing you the output.

Microsoft is moving away from VSS to its new Visual Studio Team Foundation Server product. We should ensure that we provide support for both. I'm creating a linked issue to track Visual Studio Team Foundation Server demand and development/plugin progress.

I've messed around with the Visual Source Safe command line interface for a couple different build systems. Whoever does implement this I'd definitely try to skim off of the ANT VSS Task code since dealing with command line stuff in Java across platforms is a somewhat sadistic pursuit.

anyone know of any progress in this area?

To aid our efforts with this bug, we're hoping that perhaps some of our customers would be willing to share some VSS and JIRA data with us, ideally with some JIRA issue keys already in the commit messages.

All data would be kept in confidence and destroyed after we finish testing. We can arrange documentation to that effect, if it would help.

If anyone has a system set up like that and would be willing and able to share that data with us, we would be extremely appreciative. If you are able to help us out with this test data, we will arrange a free license for your organization when the plugin is released.

Please get in touch with me directly at jonathan@atlassian.com if you are able to help.

In the meanwhile, the beta version of the plugin is available. See the project page here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/JIRA+Visual+SourceSafe+Plugin
