Features

• Parsing the excel file which usually been downloaded from the Jira platform.

• Sorting the excel records using some specific logic.

• Generating the target excel file which contains the result.

• The excel file structure can be customized by JSON file.

A Simple Example

You can run below command in the PowerShell (Windows OS) or Shell (UNIX OS) to process the excel files.

sort-excel-file source.xlsx

After that, you can find the output file in the same folder along with the source file. For more details, please check the help message like below:

sort-excel-file -h

Currently, we are using the jira access token to do the validation and that means we need you to generate your own access token from the website first.

update-jira-access-token <access_token>

If you want to use your own definition files before processing the excel, you can run below command to access some templates which can help you understand the definition file.

generate-template excel-definition

For more details, please check the help message like below:

generate-template -h

Code Example For Developer

Here’s a simple program, just to give you an idea about how to use this package.

import pathlib
from jira_tool import process_excel_file
HERE = pathlib.Path().resolve()
process_excel_file(HERE / "source.xlsx", HERE / "target.xlsx")

If you want to customize the definition file to adapt the new Excel, you can do below steps.

1. Creating the definition file like below. Inside the SortStrategyPriority list, you can decide the sort algorithms’ order.

[
    {
        "SortStrategies": [
          {
              "Name": "InlineWeights",
              "Priority": 1,
              "Config": {}
          },
          {
              "Name": "SortOrder",
              "Priority": 2,
              "Config": {}
          },
          {
              "Name": "SortOrder",
              "Priority": 3,
              "Config": {
                  "ParentScopeIndexRange": "12-19"
              }
          },
          {
              "Name": "RaiseRanking",
              "Priority": 4,
              "Config": {
                  "ParentScopeIndexRange": "12-19"
              }
          }
      ]
    },
    {
        "Columns": [
            {
                "Index": 1,
                "Name": "entryDate",
                "Type": "datetime",
                "RequireSort": false,
                "SortOrder": false,
                "InlineWeights": 0,
                "RaiseRanking": 0
            }
        ]
    }
]

2. Indicating the definition file location to the process_excel_file method like below.

process_excel_file(
    HERE / "source.xlsx",
    HERE / "target.xlsx",
    excel_definition_config=HERE / "definition_file.json"
)

Meantime, you can follow the same way to customize the milestone priority file.

1. Configuration file

[
    {
      "Priority": 1,
      "Sprints": ["R134 S1", "M109"]
    }
]

2. Code example

process_excel_file(
    HERE / "source.xlsx",
    HERE / "target.xlsx",
    sprint_schedule_config=HERE / "milestone_priority.json"
)
