I am looking for the CLI to query for a task related to another, i.e. "fixed" task. One has to be able to do it.... just not sure of what the syntax is.

ccm query "is_related_task_of('task_object'"

I have to be close, just not quite there.... I have three tasks, 5979 which is fixed by 5982 which is fixed by 5983.....

thanks

duh....

ccm task -show fixed_by task_spec

As it turns out I will want to be able to query to find all the tasks that have been 'fixed' by another task so once again I need a CLI query to find all tasks that has a relation of 'fixed_by' another task...

Hi Robert,

The relationship you want to query for is named fix and runs from the fix task to the bad task (the task being fixed). You can use standard relation based query functions to query in either direction or find objects that have or do not have such a relation. For example, to query for all the tasks that fix task A#123:

Code:

ccm query "is_fix_of(task('A#123'))"

Hope that helps. Regards, David.

What I need is a query to find all the tasks that are "FIXED" tasks or tasks that "FIXES"....

Hi Robert,

I'm not sure exactly what query you're looking for. There are four general query functions that are concerned with querying relations:

1. is_relation_of(objectname)


2. has_relation(objectname)


3. is_no_relation()


4. has_no_relation()

where relation is the name of the relation, and where objectname is either a four-part objectname or a query function that finds such an object. For example, if you know a task identifier, you can use the task query function to get its four part objectname.

Specific examples:

• is_fix_of(task('A#123' )) queries for all objects with a relationship named fix from task A#123. In other words, it would find the bad tasks fixed by task A#123.


• has_fix(task('A#123' )) queries for all objects with a relationship named fix to task A#123. In other words, it would find the good tasks that fix bad task A#123.


• is_no_fix() queries for all objects that have no relationships named fix from them. In other words, it would find tasks that are not fix tasks.


• has_no_fix() queries for all objects that have no relationships named fix to them. In other words it would tasks that are not bad tasks fixed by one or more fix tasks.

These are all described in the Learn more about...Query expressions...functions chapter of the CLI help.

So once you know the name of the relation involved, you can apply these general relation query functions to almost any situation.

Hope that helps,
Regards,
David.

The KEY here is figuring out what the relation involved is called....

Tested the "is_fix_of" and got what I needed, thanks again.
