Defect #8556
closed
sys/fetch_changesets feature un(der)-documented
Added by Dave Abrahams almost 14 years ago.
Updated over 13 years ago.
Description
The feature described in http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineRepositories doesn't work for me as prescribed. I get "Access denied. Repository management WS is disabled or key is invalid."
But of course I /have/ checked "Enable WS for repository management" (whatever that means --- what the heck does WS stand for?)
From looking at the error message I guessed that perhaps I needed to add "?key=<the API key>" to my URL, and that at least does not give me an error, but I can't really tell for sure that it's working. Is that what I'm supposed to do?
Yes, you can find an example here.
BTW, WS stands for "Web Service", I guess.
- Status changed from New to Closed
- Resolution set to Fixed
Added a link to Rest_api, should do the job, feel free to "review" it.
The instructions still don't work unless I interpret trying to manually fetch changes by typing in the URL as trying to "make it an automatic task." The "?key=...." part is still needed.
Also, please replace the nonstandard abbreviation "WS" with what it stands for everywhere. It's just gratuitously confusing.

I confirm that, but it shouldn't, at least as I understand the whole authentication thing. I will check later if there is already a defect describing this behavior...

I won't do that since the "WS" term is used in application settings labels.

Ok, I fixed the documentation.
