Rally Ruby Toolkit: How to Get Url of Portfolio Item's State

Rally Ruby toolkit: how to get URL of Portfolio Item's state?

It is possible to query State, create a hash, and populate the hash with the query results, where State Name is the key and State _ref is the value:

state_results.each do |s|
    s.read
    state_hash[s["Name"]] = s["_ref"]
end

Then we can update a State:

features.each do |f|
    field_updates={"State" => state_hash["Developing"]}
    f.update(field_updates)
end

Here is a code example:

@rally = RallyAPI::RallyRestJson.new(config)

queryState = RallyAPI::RallyQuery.new()
queryState.type = :state
queryState.fetch = "true"
queryState.workspace = {"_ref" => "https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/workspace/11111" } 
queryState.project = {"_ref" => "https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/project/22222" } #use valid OIDs
queryState.query_string = "(TypeDef.Name = \"Feature\")"

state_hash = Hash.new

state_results = @rally.find(queryState)

state_results.each do |s|
    s.read
    #puts "Ref: #{s["_ref"]}, Name: #{s["Name"] }, TypeDef: #{s["TypeDef"]}" 
    state_hash[s["Name"]] = s["_ref"]
end 

query = RallyAPI::RallyQuery.new()
query.type = "portfolioitem/feature"
query.fetch = "Name,FormattedID"
query.workspace = {"_ref" => "https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/workspace/1111" } 
query.project = {"_ref" => "https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/project/22222" } #use valid OIDs
query.query_string = "(Name = \"my feature\")"

results = @rally.find(query)
features = [];

results.each do |f|
     f.read
     puts "Current state of Feature #{f["FormattedID"]}: #{f["State"].to_s}"
     features << f
end

features.each do |f|
    field_updates={"State" => state_hash["Developing"]}
    f.update(field_updates)
    puts "Feature #{f["FormattedID"]} is now in State: #{f["State"].to_s}"
end

Retrieving Portfolio Item objects using Ruby Toolkit for Rally REST API

Make sure that you use webservices API version is 1.26 or higher - Portfolio Items were first introduced into the object model starting with 1.26. I believe the Ruby REST API defaults to Webservices API 1.17 if not specified explicity. You can explicitly define it as follows:

    rally = RallyRestAPI.new(:base_url => @base_url, :username => @user_name, :password => @password, :version => 1.33)

Rally: Get from Portfolio data in a table

Samy,

Below is some code that will work.

Four things have been fixed.

A table can be displayed directly into a div (and you can pass in the div name)
You don't need an html table
I changed the meta data to refer to the name of your app (then we can track how many folks write apps
You were referencing 1.24 of our App SDK and thus our WSAPI. Portfolio Items did not exist in version 1.24. You could see that in the web service result

Update feature object's state using Rally PHP

I was able to figure this out. Every state has a different Object ID; "In the Backlog" has an Object id of : 7177179173.

This line of code does the trick:

Connection::rally()->update('feature', '12848970281', array('state' => '7177179173'));

What it means: update the state of a feature (that has an Object ID of 12848970281) to "In the Backlog" (that has an Object ID of 7177179173)

Rally: How do I access custom created fields via the Web Services API

There is a display name and a name property when you create it. In your example my guess is fu is your display name and bar is the name.
