Description

With exactly the same project.xml I see this type of thing in the changelog.xml generated using the CVS changelog factory:

<changelog-entry>
<date>2004-04-14</date>
<time>11:05:28</time>
<author><![CDATA[Matt Read]]></author>

However with Clearcase factory I get this:

<changelog-entry>
<date>2004-04-15</date>
<time>10:28:28</time>
<author><![CDATA[readm ]]></author>

I.e. it's using the developer.id from project.xml instead of the developer.name. It's also padding with whitespace which might also be causing problems.

Symptoms of this are that although the changelog report and file activity reports are correct, the Developer Activity report is blank as it's unable to match author to name.

Adding a .trim() to the setAuthor() method when parsing the output of the "cleartool lshistory" command in ClearcaseChangeLogParser.java fixes the majority of problems, EXCEPT when the Clearcase user id is longer than 8 characters. I'll work on a more complete patch when I have more than 5 mins.

ok, we'll wait for the extended patch. Please attach to the issue instead of posting inline.

I've attached a new test that recreates the problem. Let me know if you'd prefer this as a patch from the root of the project.

And the example Clearcase output log required for the test to execute.

These files will both test and fix the issue that I originally reported however there is still a problem if the developer.id in project.xml is longer than 8 characters.

I'm not sure how to write a test for this as it depends on the plugin.jelly executing and I'm not familiar enough with Maven to know how to do that.

I'm also unsure what the fix would look like as code is not product specific (ChangeLog.replaceAuthorIdWithName()).

Let me know if I can help, otherwise I'd suggest including a note in the documentation for Clearcase users.

Matt.
