Seems as though there are some collisions between github's reference system and sprintly's. Today someone closed sprintly item #104 and inadvertently merged a pull request into master.

After using this tool and scanning our commit messages, they all now start with "References #..., " etc. Especially on a mobile device where only the first bit may be visible, this is far less useful then seeing the commit message instead. When two or three tickets are referenced, this becomes particularly unwieldy. I'd prefer an alternate syntax instead:

Here's my commit message. ( ref #X, ref #y )

This could possibly implemented with a format string in the configuration that allows people to choose how they want to the formatting to work.

Getting an issue when running:

sprintly --install-hook

I get this output each time ( replaced private data with *** ):

Creating config...
Enter Sprint.ly username (email): [email protected]

ERROR:__main__:Fatal Error: 'Invalid credentials. Unable to authenticate with Sprint.ly.'

    raise SprintlyException('Invalid credentials. Unable to authenticate with Sprint.ly.')

However, when I do the API call via Curl, it works fine each time:

curl -u [email protected]:******************************** https://sprint.ly/api/user/whoami.json

Correctly returns:

Using latest from Repo with Python 2.7 on CentOS 5.5 server. Tried running as different users, and went through the install process with each ( even sudo ). Also added git config email to match my sprintly account incase there was some weird handshake thing happening on their end... but no luck.

Any ideas?

Great product!

One small question - if I have two products I'm coding on the same machine, is there any way to associate a specific sprintly product with a specific git repo? I just installed hook on another project but when I run sprintly inside that directory, I get all the items for my other main product.

Thanks!

Hello. I just installed the tool and am running into this issue:

That's all! Type 'sprintly' and hit enter to get started.

I'm using the Solarized color scheme and as you can see, Sprintly's chosen colors renders the item number for task items (second line in backlog) unreadable:

When i copy the text and paste it in my editor, it shows that the item number is there - just unreadable. Is this an issue with how Sprintly chooses colors, or a weakness of Solarized's light color scheme?

I have a git repository and I run the following command from the root of that repo:

sprintly --install-hook

Error:

ERROR:__main__:Fatal Error: 'This command can only be run from the root of a git repository.'
Traceback (most recent call last):

Investigating the code, it is looking for .git/hooks to exist as evidence of a git root repo. For whatever reason, I did not have this directory. Once I created it, the command worked fine.

Hi there. I'm bumping into an issue with the tool. I've checked and rechecked my credentials but it seems that the tool is having trouble fetching details from sprint.ly. Is there a verbose output flag for the tool? Thanks.

I had the sprintly commit hook working fine for our project, but then after formatting my laptop and using boxen to configure things, the commit hook just stopped working. I can see the sprintly tasks fine, but when I pick a number, it just fails with the following message:
#0 - Proceed without Sprint.ly item number.

I'm not sure if you're still supporting this, but I'd love some help as I really depend on this for the work we're doing. any ideas? Am I just missing something obvious? I've searched endlessly on google and haven't found any solid leads, though I've done a lot of brew doctor and brew unlinking and relinking to try...

when i run: which python, i get this: /opt/boxen/homebrew/bin/python

Thanks and thank you for the tool!

Not sure how fixable this issue is, but some of our team originally checked out our repo using the github app -- When trying to run sprintly --install-hook, they get a message that says the hook can only be installed in a git repo.... even though it is a git repo.

Removing the .git/ folder and re checking out via the terminal fixes this problem, but obviously not the best.

Thanks

I had already included a ticket number in the commit message, but I got prompted to choose a ticket number anyway. The result was a commit message that starts like this:

 References #22. Ref #22:

I would prefer to not be prompted for a ticket number if there is already one there.

    sprintly --install-hook
    ERROR:__main__:Fatal Error: 'This command can only be run from the root of a git repository.'

        raise SprintlyException('This command can only be run from the root of a git repository.')
    SprintlyException: 'This command can only be run from the root of a git repository.'
    Program exiting.

I'm in the repo's root dir. This error is being generated. Would like to use the hook but don't know how to go forward.

When I follow the details link in your README, I see the following...

It seems the docs changed location, should it be this link?

We ran into this bug: "ERROR:main:Fatal Error: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2026' in position 94: ordinal not in range(128)"

When an issue has a title longer than 93 characters, an ellipsis is put in place, the commit hook cannot read this and freaks out.

I installed Sprintly-Github on my mac, installed the hook in my local project, can get the list of tasks/bugs/stories, but when I commit and select an item number to attach, I then get this error. This has happened to me before and I honestly can't remember what fixed it. I'm wondering if it's a permissions thing? I did install sprintly-github as sudo and i have brew python in addition to system python.

any ideas?

Besides referencing tickets, Sprint.ly also supports fixing and re-opening issues via commit message as well.

It would be nice for this tool to support that. Perhaps instead of entering raw ticket numbers from a list, you could also F15, as way to indicate "fixes #15" and O15 to indicate "open #15". A bare "15" would still indicate "references #15".

Hey. I haven't used the sprintly hook for a while (there was an OS update in between also). As I started to use it again I get an error when I'm trying to commit stuff. Just typing 'sprintly' works fine and I get the list of issues. But when I try to insert a number it fails.
Anyone an idea? Unfortunately I have no knowledge about Python and the task which are going on in the background. So I re-install sprintly and the hook but nothing different happens.

Hi there,

Great project! I love how it automatically pulls up a list of my active items.

For whatever reason, while it looks like it's hooking in properly, the commit message isn't being added to the comments for the issue I reference.

Is there any config in Sprint.ly that needs to be enabled to make this work?

Thanks!

The sprintly command is installed globally in /usr/local/bin/sprintly, but within virtualenvs that use Python 3 (which is almost all of them for me these days), the command doesn't work at all.
