Run bash script on ticket creation

[Angelo]

Hi guys,

I need to run a custom bash script when a ticket gets created, is there a way to achive this behavoiur using the default Trac's features or a custom plugin?

Alternatively could it be fine also perfom an http call with custom parameters and authentication header.

Many thanks in adavance.

Regards,

Angelo.

You could make a plugin that calls the script using ITicketChangeListener:

https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/PluginDevelopment/ExtensionPoints/trac.ticket.api.ITicketChangeListener

If you need to call your script at specific actions of the Trac workflow, see run_external operation of TracAdvancedTicketWorkflow:

https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AdvancedTicketWorkflowPlugin

You might be able to use the latter on ticket creation by adding:

create.operations = run_exernal

and adding create.py to $env/hooks with create.py calling your script using the subprocess module.
