Description

A sphinx extension that adds a clearquest directive for converting ClearQuest requests to reStructuredText tables.

Dependencies

Sphinx

http://sphinx.pocoo.org/

PyWin32

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ (PyWin32 will not be automatically installed by easy_install or pip install as egg packages are not available on pypi)

Installation & Usage

You can install the sphinxcontrib.clearquest package with easy_install or pip:

$ easy_install sphinxcontrib-clearquest

Or with the windows installer available on this page.

Append 'sphinxcontrib.clearquest' to extensions parameter, and run Sphinx.

Directive Syntax

The syntax of the directive is as follows:

.. clearquest:: <full name/of the clearquest query> (mandatory)
   :params: <parameters to pass to the query> (optional)
   :username: <your username> (optional)
   :password: <your password> (optional)
   :db_name: <the name of the db> (optional)
   :db_set: <the name of the db set> (optional)

The parameters to pass to the query must respect the following syntax:

<param1_name>=<param1_value>,<param2_name>=<param2_value>, ...

You can provide them in any order as long as you don’t forget one. The query call will fail if you do.

The connection credentials can either be provided as directive options or in a clearquest section in the ~/.sphinxcontrib file which is a standard .ini configuration file.

Here is an example of ~/.sphinxcontrib file:

[clearquest]
username = john
password = doe
db_name = prod
db_set = cqsrv
