graph of inter-dependency of an issue

Added by gabriel scolan almost 15 years ago

Hi all,

It should be great to have the possibility to see the dependency graph from one issue. This graph would represent :
  • the parents (the one blocked by the issue)
  • the childs (the one preceded by the issue)
  • the related ones (with link 'related to')
  • the dupplicated ones (with link 'dupplicated')

and this recursively. This will help showing to any auditor (customer, quality, cert authorities, management) how any Problem report (for ex) raised by a customer is being split or taken into account on the various components of the system (current solution is to have a 1 to 1 mapping between components and redmine projects).

This feature should be accessible from any issue view (adding a menu "graph" next to "watch","update","copy",...) and eventually from the issue list resulting from a query (in tab "Issues")

What do you think of this ? How do you think it is best to develop : in the trunk (so I'll open a feature request) or in a plugin (is there all necessary hooks available in the 0.8.3 version or on the trunk for 0.9) ?

many thanks

This sounds like the functionality should be a plugin rather than trunk. If the hooks aren't there for plugins, they should be. It'd be useful functionality. If you want pretty images of such things, graphviz is a useful package for generating them, I'm no rubyist, but I've done a fair bit of work using it and could assist with it.
