Important
Starting from v8.4 all supported bug trackers now feature 1-click bug report integration! Here's an example of how they look like for GitHub and JIRA:
Note
Some external bug trackers like Bugzilla & JIRA provide more flexibility over which fields are required for a new bug report. The current functionality should work for vanilla installations and would fall back to manual bug reporting if it can't create a new bug automatically!
Database
- Force creation of missing permissions for m2m fields from the tcms.bugs app:
- bugs.add_bug_tags
- bugs.change_bug_tags
- bugs.delete_bug_tags
- bugs.view_bug_tags
- bugs.add_bug_executions
- bugs.change_bug_execution
- bugs.delete_bug_execution
- bugs.view_bug_executions
Warning
TCMS admins of existing installations will have to assign these by hand to users/groups who will be allowed to change tags on bugs!
Settings
- Define the KIWI_DISABLE_BUGTRACKER=yes environment variable if you wish to disable the internal bug tracker. Closes Issue #1370

- Unescape the & string when trying to open new windows after clicking the 'Report bug' button in TestExecution. Fixes Issue #1533
- Try harder to restore the original navigation menu instead of leaving bogus menu items. Fixes Issue #991
- Robot Framework plugin is now GA. Close Issue #984
- Add LinkReference to TestExecution after creating bug via 1-click. The UI still needs to be refreshed which will be implemented together with the redesign of the TestRun page
