NAME
bugzilla - command-line interface to Bugzilla over XML-RPC
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
bugzilla is a command-line utility that allows access to the XML-RPC interface provided by Bugzilla.
command is one of:
* login - log into the given bugzilla instance
* new - create a new bug
* query - search for bugs matching given criteria
* modify - modify existing bugs
* attach - attach files to existing bugs, or get attachments
* info - get info about the given bugzilla instance
GLOBAL OPTIONS
--version
show program's version number and exit
--help, -h
show this help message and exit

output.

Standard bugzilla options
These options are shared by some combination of the 'new', 'query', and 'modify' sub commands. Not every
option works for each command though.

--flag=FLAG
Set or unset a flag. For example, to set a flag named devel_ack, do --flag devel_ack+ Unset a
flag with the 'X' value, like --flag needinfoX
--tags=TAG
Set (personal) tags field
--whiteboard WHITEBOARD, -w WHITEBOARD, --status_whiteboard WHITEBOARD
Whiteboard field

--field=FIELD=VALUE
Manually specify a bugzilla XMLRPC field. FIELD is the raw name used by the bugzilla instance. For
example if your bugzilla instance has a custom field cf_my_field, do: --field cf_my_field=VALUE
Output options
These options are shared by several commands, for tweaking the text output of the command results.
--full, -f
output detailed bug info
--ids, -i
output only bug IDs
--extra, -e
output additional bug information (keywords, Whiteboards, etc.)
--oneline
one line summary of the bug (useful for scripts)
--raw raw output of the bugzilla contents
--outputformat=OUTPUTFORMAT
Print output in the form given. You can use RPM-style tags that match bug fields, e.g.: '%{id}:
%{summary}'.
The output of the bugzilla tool should NEVER BE PARSED unless you are using a custom
--outputformat. For everything else, just don't parse it, the formats are not stable and are
subject to change.
--outputformat allows printing arbitrary bug data in a user preferred format. For example, to
print a returned bug ID, component, and product, separated with ::, do:
--outputformat "%{id}::%{component}::%{product}"
The fields (like 'id', 'component', etc.) are the names of the values returned by bugzilla's
XMLRPC interface. To see a list of all fields, check the API documentation in the 'SEE ALSO'
section. Alternatively, run a 'bugzilla --debug query ...' and look at the key names returned in
the query results. Also, in most cases, using the name of the associated command line switch
should work, like --bug_status becomes %{bug_status}, etc.
‘query’ specific options
Certain options can accept a comma separated list to query multiple values, including --status,
--component, --product, --version, --id.
Note: querying via explicit command line options will only get you so far. See the --from-url option for
a way to use powerful Web UI queries from the command line.
--id ID, -b ID, --bug_id ID
specify individual bugs by IDs, separated with commas
--reporter REPORTER, -r REPORTER
Email: search reporter email for given address
--quicksearch QUICKSEARCH
Search using bugzilla's quicksearch functionality.
--savedsearch SAVEDSEARCH
Name of a bugzilla saved search. If you don't own this saved search, you must passed
--savedsearch_sharer_id.
--savedsearch-sharer-id SAVEDSEARCH_SHARER_ID
Owner ID of the --savedsearch. You can get this ID from the URL bugzilla generates when running
the saved search from the web UI.
--from-url WEB_QUERY_URL
Make a working query via bugzilla's 'Advanced search' web UI, grab the url from your browser (the
string with query.cgi or buglist.cgi in it), and --from-url will run it via the bugzilla API.
Don't forget to quote the string! This only works for Bugzilla 5 and Red Hat bugzilla
‘modify’ specific options
Fields that take multiple values have a special input format.
Append: --cc=foo@example.com
Overwrite: --cc==foo@example.com
Remove: --cc=-foo@example.com
Options that accept this format: --cc, --blocked, --dependson, --groups, --tags, whiteboard fields.
--close RESOLUTION, -k RESOLUTION
Close with the given resolution (WONTFIX, NOTABUG, etc.)
--dupeid ORIGINAL, -d ORIGINAL
ID of original bug. Implies --close DUPLICATE
--private
Mark new comment as private
--reset-assignee
Reset assignee to component default
--reset-qa-contact
Reset QA contact to component default
‘attach’ options
--file=FILENAME, -f FILENAME
File to attach, or filename for data provided on stdin
--description=DESCRIPTION, -d DESCRIPTION
A short description of the file being attached
--type=MIMETYPE, -t MIMETYPE
Mime-type for the file being attached
--get=ATTACHID, -g ATTACHID

--getall=BUGID, --get-all=BUGID

--comment=COMMENT, -l COMMENT

‘info’ options
--products, -p

--components=PRODUCT, -c PRODUCT
List the components in the given product
--component_owners=PRODUCT, -o PRODUCT
List components (and their owners)
--versions=PRODUCT, -v PRODUCT
List the versions for the given product
--active-components
Only show active components. Combine with --components*
AUTHENTICATION CACHE AND API KEYS
Some command usage will require an active login to the bugzilla instance. For example, if the bugzilla
instance has some private bugs, those bugs will be missing from 'query' output if you do not have an
active login.
If you are connecting to a bugzilla 5.0 or later instance, the best option is to use bugzilla API keys.
From the bugzilla web UI, log in, navigate to Preferences->API Keys, and generate a key (it will be a
long string of characters and numbers). Then create a ~/.config/python-bugzilla/bugzillarc like this:
$ cat ~/.config/python-bugzilla/bugzillarc
[bugzilla.example.com]
api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
Replace 'bugzilla.example.com' with your bugzilla host name, and YOUR_API_KEY with the generated API Key
from the Web UI.
For older bugzilla instances, you will need to cache a login cookie or token with the "login" subcommand
or the "--login" argument.
Additionally, the --no-cache-credentials option will tell the bugzilla tool to _not_ save or use any
authentication cache, including the bugzillarc file.
EXAMPLES
bugzilla query --bug_id 62037
bugzilla query --version 15 --component python-bugzilla
# All boolean options can be formatted like this
bugzilla query --blocked "123456 | 224466"
bugzilla login
bugzilla new -p Fedora -v rawhide -c python-bugzilla \
--summary "python-bugzilla causes headaches" \
--comment "python-bugzilla made my brain hurt when I used it."
bugzilla attach --file ~/Pictures/cam1.jpg --desc "me, in pain" $BUGID
bugzilla attach --getall $BUGID
bugzilla modify --close NOTABUG --comment "Actually, you're hungover." $BUGID
EXIT STATUS
bugzilla normally returns 0 if the requested command was successful. Otherwise, exit status is 1 if
bugzilla is interrupted by the user (or a login attempt fails), 2 if a socket error occurs (e.g. TCP
connection timeout), and 3 if the server returns an XML-RPC fault.
