[CLOSED] added support for github enterprise AND closed issues. #11
Description
Wednesday Oct 09, 2013 at 18:08 GMT
Originally opened as IQAndreas/github-issues-import#11
Feel free to merge this or not... but I find it useful for my given circumstances.
Others may find my version useful if they also desire this functionality.
Allows you to freely migrate repos to and from github enterprise and github.com.
Allows you to import closed issues too.
I have made extensive changes to how this works which allows for the
migration of issues to and from github enterprise and github.com, etc.
to do so, I had to add more explicit config options for source and
target.
example:
# Rename to `config.ini`, and keep it in the same folder as
`gh-issues-import.py`
# All optional fields have been commented out.
[source]
server = github.com
repository = example/sample_repo
username = user1@example.org
password = naked_password
[target]
server = github.example.org
repository = example/sample_repo
username = user1
password = naked_password
[format] # These can be adjusted based on your group's region and
language.
# Unless an absolute path is given, the templates are relative to the
current working directory.
# Example (and default) templates can be found in the `templates`
folder.
#issue_template = templates/issue.md
#pull_request_template = templates/pull_request.md
#comment_template = templates/comment.md
# If unsure, just using '%c' will default to the locale’s appropriate
date and time representation.
#date = %A %b %d, %Y at %H:%M GMT # Sample: Friday Sep 13, 2013 at
22:58 GMT

Nice work!
I will definitely be merging this, but I would like to make a few changes before doing so.
As for the "import closed issues" feature, I have actually been trying to implement that one myself, but there is one problem with it; right now you are appending the array of
closedissues to theopenarray, but this means the issues are imported in a different order than they were published.I would prefer sorting them by date, but any sorting will need to be done on the client side (which seems inefficient, but I can't find any better alternative). But I'll fix this and add these features over the weekend.
Thanks for your contribution! :)

I implemented your support for enterprise servers, but with a few of my own slight changes. Primarily, usernames and passwords for specific organizations cannot be passed as arguments, but they can be defined in the config, and you will be prompted for them separately if they are not defined there.
Also, allowing for a different username for the source and target repositories turned out to be a great idea, even when not using an enterprise organization!
I tested the changes here on GitHub, but I do not have access to an enterprise organization to see if the "cross-server-issue-transporting" works. If you have the time and means, I would be immensely grateful if you could test out the new version on an enterprise server, @joshuairl :

Great to hear, I will give it a run through with enterprise.
I've never written anything in python... Hope it wasn't too messy!!

How is the "import closed issues as well" feature coming along? It would really help me out at the moment :)

It's in the pipeline, and I can probably have it done by before Monday if you need it.
The code I can do, but the problem is I'm not sure how closed issues should appear to the user in the target repository. Do you think you could help me by explaining your current project's setup? It will better help me if I know the use-case for closed issues.
I set up a new issue where this could be discussed, do you think you could add your thoughts there? IQAndreas/github-issues-import#12
