Curious how youtrack translates redmine sub-(sub-sub-sub..etc…)-projects into youtrack.
Currently this is something holding us up making the jump. Cannot find any sub- project support in YouTrack
Hello Moranoa, thank you for reaching us out. In YouTrack there no sub-projects. Redmine sub-(sub-…)-projects will be translated into separated YouTrack projects named “parent / sub1 / sub2 …”.
can you please leave an example with example URLS of the command needed to import redmine?
I followed the instructions but am having no luck:
sudo python redmine2youtrack.py -a myapikey http://myredminurl.com http://mycustomprefix.myjetbrains.com myyoutrackusername myyoutrackpassword myredmineproject
but I am getting the error:
File “redmine2youtrack.py”, line 101, in __init__
self._target = youtrack.connection.Connection(y_url, y_user, y_pass)
File “/home/myusername/youtrack-rest-python-library/python/youtrack/connection.py”, line 51, in __init__
self._login(*self._credentials)
File “/home/fire/youtrack-rest-python-library/python/youtrack/connection.py”, line 61, in _login
raise youtrack.YouTrackException(‘/user/login’, response, content)
I have resolved the issue,
Here is an example import command when importing issues from the Redmine issue tracker:
sudo python redmine2youtrack.py -a yourRedmineAPIKey http://yourRedmineurl.com http://yourYouTrackPrefix.myjetbrains.com/youtrack root yourYoutrackPassord yourRedmineProjectName
I hope this helps!
Could you please provide examples on how to migrate issues, comments and attachments from csv files to youtrack? I can find an example for issues only…
