How do you get Eclipse/Mylyn to fill out your commit messages for you?


I've setup the following:

However, if I activate a bugzilla bug in the Task List, and then edit a file, when I commit the changes the commit message isn't filled in.

Also, in the Synchronisation perspective there isn't a change set for the task I'm working on.

I've tried following the instructions on the Eclipse wiki's Mylyn FAQ for Why does task change set not appear when I modify files? but the bullet point:

I have a Show Change Sets button, but clicking it only shows me incoming change sets, there aren't any outgoing change sets.

What am I missing?


Solution

  • Did you activate the checkbox "Automatically create and manage with task context" in the group "Change Set Management" in the preference page?

    I had a quick look at the Eclipsepedia article for Mylyn and you havent mentioned the Mylyn-Bridge in your installation. Did you install this feature?. The article also says that you also need enabling features for the Client you are using

    I am on Eclipse 3.4 with Mylyn 3.3.2 and this works just fine. There is probably something missing in your configuration.

    Here is what is installed on my system (with the standard CVS-Client):

    If you are using Subversive you also need the Subversive Team Provider and similar it goes for Subclipse.
