Codebeamer mapping with selector

SvenBergmann

I would like to create a mapping file, supported by a snippet, so that I can import every requirement in codebeamer to medini as goal. I always fail with the js file. could you give me an example, how I can do this?

Hello Sven,

could you be a bit more precise on the use case? In fact, you do not necessarily need a "selector" JS script to map requirements to Goals. You only need that if you want to map some requirements to requirements and others to goals for example. Anyway, there are currently only 3 hoosks:

• onInit: this is a single script that is executed only once when the mapping is initialized, you can use it to load other java script files for example (assumed to be co-located to the mapping file)
• mediniSelector: a script attached to a type mapping, called for each item that is exported, must return true to export the requirement, any other value will ignore this mapping for this element
• mappedSelector: other way around, called for any item that is imported to medini, true to use the mapping, any other value will drop the mapping for that specific element, and search for another one

Just an example which dump each element that is imported to script console:

  <typeMappings

      mediniType="SafetyRequirement"

      mappedType="item"

      mappedSelector="/* $EXPERIMENTAL$ */ load('codebeamer.js'); dump(element); true;">

    <attributeMappings

        mediniAttribute="name"

        mappedAttribute="Summary"/>

    <attributeMappings

        mediniAttribute="description"

        mappedAttribute="Description"/>

  </typeMappings>
