Prerequisites

  • This addin only works with sites which use the XML-RPC plugin.
  • This addin was developed in .NET 2.0.
  • Visual Studio 2005 or 2008.

Installation

  • Go download VSTrac.
  • Extract it you your My Documents\Visual Studio 200x\Addins folder.
  • Done.

Uninstallation

  • Delete all the files from the \Addins folder.
  • Remove the key CURRENT_USER\Software\VSTrac from the registry (or you can leave it and the settings will be available the next time you install)
  • When you start Visual Studio, if you click on Trac Explorer it should ask you whether you want to remove the menu item.

Some Notes

  • On Vista the directory is [USERNAME]\Documents\Visual Studio 200x\Addins.
  • The 200x is either 2005 or 2008 depending on which version you have installer.
  • If the Addins folder does not exist you can just create it yourself.

Usage

  • Access the Trac Explorer from the View menu.
  • You can add a new trac server from the Trac Explorer. Just click on the toolbar button.
  • When you expand a server node in the tree, it will download the wiki pages and attributes. From here you can:
    • Add a ticket query by right-clicking on the Tickets node. See http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracQuery#QueryLanguage for more details.
    • Open a ticket query by double-clicking on it.
    • Open a wiki page by double clicking on it.
    • From within the Ticket Window you can open a ticket by double clicking on it.

There is a lot more development happening and new features should be coming pretty quickly. Please feel free to add any suggestions or bugs reports as a ticket.
