12992 - Dependency Tree Views Of Bug Lists

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 371030

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

I've seen the dependency tree view.  It would be nice if you could get a tree
view of a bug list, like you get back from a query or summary (bug #12282).
This tree view would work like the dependency tree, except every bug in the list
would be a root, unlike the dependency tree which has one.

This could help eliminate "tracking bugs", since you could use bug flags (bug
#11155), and get the dependency tree for all the bugs with that flag.

3.0:  We need to do this to get rid of bad tracking bugs.

Adding default QA contact to all open Webtools/Bugzilla bugs lacking one.
Sorry for the spam.

moving to real milestones...

to the bz3 component

Comment 7

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

The Bugzilla 3 component is going away.  We're going to depend on the Milestones 
for this.  At the time this component was created, we didn't have milestones for 
Bugzilla.

Voting for this enhancement - I am using Bugzilla for scheduling, and would find 
this feature extremely useful for creating a prioritized hierarchical list of 
development tasks.

The next best thing would be the ability to add a dependencies column containing 
comma-separated lists of hyperlinked bug numbers.

Comment 11

[Fabien COMBERNOUS]

It could have a real interest to display 2 new columns in the list view :

- 1 corresponding to the number of bugs from the "Bug # depends on"
- 1 corresponding to the number of bugs from the "Bug # blocks"

As for other columns, the display of these 2 new columns should be disabled
using the "Change Columns" link.

Comment 12

[Veda Larson Palmer]

I filed my column suggestion from comment #10 as a new bug #202292.

Comment 13

[Christian Reis]

Note that this is really easy to do -- just change the showdependencytree.cgi
API a bit and change the data structure to allow for supplying data for a list
of bugs instead of a single bug.

Comment 14

[Abhi]

Viewing query results as dependency trees would be a really useful feature. Here's my vote for it.

Comment 15

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

this could help in triaging. so if you have search results that return bugs A, B, C, D, E, you might have a graph like

  A

  C <- B <- Z 
  |    |
  E    D
  
And the graph should highlight A, B, C, D, E in the graph

Comment 17

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Bugzilla 3.2 is now frozen. Only enhancements blocking 3.2 or specifically approved for 3.2 may be checked in to the 3.2 branch. If you would like to nominate your enhancement for Bugzilla 3.2, set the "blocking3.2" flag to "?". Then, either the target milestone will be changed back, or the blocking3.2 flag will be granted, if we will accept this enhancement for Bugzilla 3.2.

This particular bug has not been touched in over eight months, and thus is being retargeted to "---" instead of "Bugzilla 4.0". If you believe this is a mistake, feel free to retarget it to Bugzilla 4.0.

somehow related to bug 371030 .

Comment 19

[bigstijn]

bug 371030, bug 12992, bug 120687 seem to be dupes of each other.

Comment 20

[Frédéric Buclin]

Duping to bug 371030, which is in a much more advanced state, and already has many useful inputs (and even some great screenshots!).

Bug 120687 is not a dupe as it's about dependency graphs, not dependency trees. But they are related for sure.
