Post a change

The ITK Faq has an API which allows you to automatically add a migration post using an XML File. The XML file should be linked to a change and should be hosted by Gerrit.

This file contains all the information of the change: title, description, files... Here is an example: http://review.source.kitware.com/cat/224%2C1%2CMigration/DecoupleNumericTraitsFromContainers.xml

Here are the steps to automatically create a post:

  • Get the URL of the xml file (which should be zipped). On the Gerrit page (used as an example), there is a download link.
  • Choose a FAQ category. You can use its ID or its name.
  • Trigger the creation of the post by going to this URL using your parameters:

http://thefaqwebsite/itk-migrationfaq/api.php?action=addItkChange&path=XML_FILE_URL&key=SECURITY_KEY&category=CATEGORY

Post errors

The API accepts CDASH files. You can post these files to attach errors to a post.

To submit the file, send it using the Put method to the url: http://thefaqwebsite/itk-migrationfaq/itkfaq/api.php?action=addItkErrors&key=SECURITY_KEY&change=MIGRATION_ID
