The rt package
Description
rt provides a programming interface to the
Request Tracker API.
Details
Everything should be implemented and all functions should return a reasonably useful result that's suitable for integrating into your workflows.
Setup
Before you can do anything useful with this package, you'll need to do three things:
Determine your base URL and set it using
Sys.setenv(RT_BASE_URL="your url here). In most cases, this will be the same as the URL of the page you use to log in to RT.Determine and set your credentials. You can skip setting them if you like and skip to step 3 or you can set them using the
RT_USERandRT_PASSWORDenvironmental variables viaSys.setenv. Seert_loginfor more.Log in using R by calling
rt_login. Seert_loginfor more.
A typical flow for setting up your R session to work with RT might look like this:
Sys.setenv(RT_BASE_URL = "http://example.com/rt",
RT_USER = "me@example.com",
RT_PASSWORD = "mypassword")
If you use RT a lot, you might consider putting code like the above in your
.Renviron, minus the call to rt_login() so the environmental variables are
available but you aren't logging into RT every time you start R. See ?Startup
for more information.
