Mantis and Testlink Integration

Post by dmathur »

I was successfully able to link together Mantis and Test link on Ubuntu Linux. I hope what I learned will help others. It is not that difficult.

Install Mantis and Testlink separately on the same machine. Install Testlink in the folder "/var/www", so that it can be invoked directly from the browser. Release 1.9 Beta3 is unstable - do not use it. I used the release 1.8.4.

Follow the instructions from the link: http://svn.sourceforge.jp/svnroot/testl ... -howto.pdf. They are very good.

Another link that I found useful was: http://blog.imaginea.com/setting-up-testlink-on-linux/

The key thing to remember when you modify parameter values in mantis.cfg.php (under Testlink directory), they should EXACTLY match corresponding values in the file config_inc.php (under Mantis directory).

The way the Mantis and Testlink work together is as follows:

You can import your test plan in Testlink and execute those tests. If a test fails - you can put its bug report in Mantis. The bug number (associated with bug report) in Mantis - you can put in the Testlink against the failed test (there is the bug icon presented against the failed test). So each time you visit Testlink and look at the failed test - there are links to the corresponding bug reports in Mantis.

Hope this helps.

Deepak

Hi,

I have been trying to integrate mantis with Test Link for test management activities. But on every attempt to configure the same, the following error is being generated:
“MySQL 4.1.0 or later is required for installation.”

The stated issue appears to be a known issue as per the following mantis ticket:
http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=12927

The ticket states of getting the issue resolved in the next release (current version being 1.2.5), but the next version has yet not been released. The alternate way proposed to handle the stated issue is mention to replace the install.php (has been mentioned as a patch fix to the issue).

On attempting to integrate Mantis with Test Link after replacing the Install.php file, the following error is being displayed:
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function require_api() in C:\xampp\htdocs\mantisbt-1.2.5\admin\install.php on line 35”

Could you please advise of an actual fix or appropriate work around to address the stated issue ASAP.

Thanks,
Arun

Seems that you replaced with wrong version of install.php
The one you used is for development version and not for version 1.2.5

Hi Atrol,

Thanks for the response.
I replaced it with the Install.php available in mantis (http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=12927).

In case that is not the correct one. Could you please provide the correct php which would resolve the stated issue and allow me integrate Mantis with test Link.

Thanks,
Arun

There are two file links attached to this issue. One for version 1.2.5 (master-1.2.x) and one for version 1.3 (master)

Please could you give an example of how to link Mantis with TestLink?

I've read the 'how to' but I just can't make it work, and I don't think it is clear at all.

The level of expertise I'm working to is low/newbie, but I am Linux literate skilled in general.

I'm running everything from 'localhost'.

Do I need a separate SQL ac?
What is an anonymous mantis account?
Which password do I need?
Etc.

Any help much appreciated,
Simon

I am running Testlink and Mantis on two different terminals, ideally speaking the DB reference has to be changed to point from the respective locations.

I have tried the same, but it is not working.

I had similar setup earlier and both TestLink and Mantis existed on the same machine and that time it worked like a charm.

Can anybody help me on this?

Thanking you in advance.

SWTester,
I recommend to ask your question in test link forum.

Just one hint:
mantisbt-1.2.5 in uriview and uricreate means the directory where you installed Mantis, it does not mean the version.
It's certainly no good ideas to use version numbers in uri as versions do no longer correspond after an upgrade.

Hi,

I could be late to answer your question but purposely I am writing here for the guidance.

Recently I have tried to point the DB which is hosted on different server successfully.

Steps:

1. Create admin user of mysql e.g like 'globalroot' which should have granted all the privileges. Kindly refer http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/ ... users.html to add admin user and giving the access.
2. Go to config_inc.php and update as mentioned belew:

$g_hostname = 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX'; // Enter IP address of server where your db has hosted.
$g_db_type = 'mysql';
$g_database_name = 'bugtracker'; // Enter data base name
$g_db_username = 'globalroot'; // admin user who has granted all the previleges
$g_db_password = 'XXXXXXXX'; // Password of of admin user

3. Save the config_inc.php file and reload the mantis. it will work.

Regards,
Kondiram
