gPuzzleTime

small tooling to transfer timelog-entries from gtimelog's timelog.txt to the PuzzleTime TimeTracking Website.

Approach

  • [x] read timelog.txt
    • [x] from known location
    • [ ] later: configure location?
    • [ ] later: auto-detect location?
  • [x] parse out last day
    • [x] especially start/end-times for each entry
    • [x] date - ticket - description
    • [x] later: parse out specific day
  • [x] open N browser instances with the time entry data
    • [x] without selected account
  • [x] infer time-account from ticket-format
    • [x] support user-supplied ticket-parsers
    • [x] get ticket-parser from tags
  • [ ] merge equal adjacent entries into one
  • [ ] complete login/entry automation
    • [ ] login
    • [ ] store cookie
    • [ ] make entries
    • [ ] open day in browser for review
  • [ ] avoid duplicate entries
    • [ ] start/end time as indicator?
  • [ ] offer rounding times to the next 5, 10 or 15 minutes
  • [ ] allow to add entries from the command-line
  • [ ] handle time-account and billable better
    • [ ] import time-accounts from ptime (https://time.puzzle.ch/work_items/search.json?q=search%20terms)
    • [ ] with a dedicated cli?
    • [ ] from a REST-Endpoint of PTime?
    • [ ] automatically prefill billable
    • [ ] from time-accounts
    • [ ] from *-notation
    • [ ] allow to have a list of "favourite" time-accounts
    • [ ] select best-matching time-account according to tags, possibly limited to the favourites
  • [ ] add cli-help

Installation

Install it with:

$ gem install gpuzzletime

Usage

$ gpuzzletime ACTION DATE

Actions

Currently supported actions are

  • show
  • upload
  • edit

Date-Identifier

To handle a specific date, the format YYYY-MM-DD is expected, e.g. 2017-12-25. Please note that you should not work on that day, unless you bring presents.

For reusability in a shell-history the following keywords are supported:

  • today
  • yesterday
  • last

If nothing is specified, the action is applied to all entries.

Edit-Identifier

When the action is "edit", the next argument is treated as script that shoudl be edited.

If nothing is passed, the main timelog.txt is loaded.

Otherwise, a script to determine the time-account is loaded.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment. Run bundle exec gpuzzletime to use the gem in this directory, ignoring other installed copies of this gem.
