Redmine plugin: Project Workflows¶

WARNING: alpha stage, do not use in production!

This plugin adds project-specific workflows to Redmine by extending the core workflows table with a nullable project_id. Generic rules (project_id = NULL) behave exactly like Redmine core, while project rules override generic rules for selected roles and trackers.

The plugin has been tested on Redmine 5.1, but I encourage you to test it thoroughly before using it in production. Redmine 6.0 and 6.1 should also work, but this has not been tested.

Features¶

• Project-specific status transitions and field permissions.
• Optimised SQL performance for bulk workflow transition/permission updates.

Usage¶

1. Go to Administration -> Workflow.
2. Select Role, Tracker, and Project.
   • Generic project means generic workflows, for all projects.
   • Selecting a project activates project override mode for that project.
3. Select the Generic project to manage rules shared across all projects.

Installation¶

1. Copy this plugin directory into plugins of your Redmine installation.
2. Run dependencies and plugin migrations:
   

   bundle install
   bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=redmine_project_workflows
   

3. Restart Redmine.

Testing¶

The plugin includes an RSpec test suite. Run it from your Redmine root with:

RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rspec plugins/redmine_project_workflows/spec

Compatibility¶

• Redmine > 5.0
