Added one issue,60% done - project progress bar still shows 0%

version 0.10

[stgeneral]

Please, make sure you are using the latest version (0.1.0 at this time). It has a fix for similar issue #3. There was no release named 'version 0.10'.

Progressbar indicates overall active/done/closed-ratio based on the %-done and statuses of the issues, visualized by different colour-gradients. And percents near progress bar shows percent of closed issued. So, that's OK if you have project list like this:

[tomyfranncy]

Sorry,version 0.1.0 cannot display %done， project list like this： thanks

[stgeneral]

That's ok. 0% - is for closed issues. Add one more issue with status 'closed' to any of your projects and you'll see the difference.

[tomyfranncy]

but you's project list have "project with 1 issue 60% done"

so what does it mean？

thanks

[stgeneral]

There are two projects:

• "Project with 1 issue 60% done" has 0% near progress bar, because it has only 1 open issue.
• "Project with 1 issue 60% done & 1 closed issue" has 50% near progress bar because has 2 issues: 1 open & 1 closed issue.

tomyfranncy the lighter green shows percent done of issue(s), the dark green shows number of done issues in relation to absolute numvers of issues of version in percent.

[tomyfranncy]

thanks stgeneral&cforce ha,it's my fault

whether display %done for issue(s)[lighter green] ？

[stgeneral]

Yeah, @cforce thank you for help :)

whether display %done for issue(s)[lighter green] ？

Current progress bar behavior and look are part of Redmine's core. And I do see any reason to change them in the plugin, it will only cause confusion and maintainability problem.

Hello again,

What I was looking for (and maybe others are too) is specifically how the progress % is determined. Please correct me if I am wrong but in addition to the explination above I offer this: It looks like the Progress Bar (lighter color) is estimated by adding the % done for each issue and dividing by the number of issues. Issues that are in Closed status = 100% no matter what the % Done slider inside the Issue shows. This progress bar does not care about estimated time. The % field is estimated hours total divided by number of open tickets. See code snippet below for he % complete math.

It would seem the % complete should take into account the Estimated and Spent Hours. Is that also inherited from Redmine or is it only calculated in your project_decorator.rb?

Thanks again.

Code snippet from redmine-progressive-projects-list/lib/progressive/project_decorator.rb:

  # Cloned from Version#issues_progress(open)
  def issues_progress(open)
    @issues_progress ||= {}
    @issues_progress[open] ||= begin
      progress = 0
      if issues.count > 0
        ratio = open ? 'done_ratio' : 100

        done = issues.sum("COALESCE(CASE WHEN estimated_hours > 0 THEN estimated_hours ELSE NULL END, #{estimated_average}) * #{ratio}",
                                  :joins => :status,
                                  :conditions => ["#{IssueStatus.table_name}.is_closed = ?", !open]).to_f
        progress = done / (estimated_average * issues.count)
      end
      progress
    end
  end

@Saylrman64 as you can see the code for this calculations was cloned from the Redmine core. I believe that code and plugin should share the same behavior. So, if any change to this logic needs any update this update should be added to the Redmine core first.

[Saylrman64]

Thank you @stgeneral If I wever get time or energy to make the estimation better, I will start with Redmine core.

Thanks again.

@stgeneral can we also show the number of inprogress issues, and resolved issues?

[stgeneral]

@ahsankhan201 Redmine has two high level statuses: 'open' and 'closed'. Other statuses ('In progress', 'Resolved', etc) are custom and should not be tracked by generic plugin.

[ahsankhan201]

@stgeneral Thanks for your reply. but tell me how can i achive it by customise your plugin. because i am a layman in redmine development.

[stgeneral]

@ahsankhan201 you may take a look and customize this lines:

• https://github.com/stgeneral/redmine-progressive-projects-list/blob/master/lib/progressive/projects_helper_patch.rb#L29
• https://github.com/stgeneral/redmine-progressive-projects-list/blob/master/lib/progressive/projects_helper_patch.rb#L41

[ahsankhan201]

@stgeneral can you help me out to customise these lines. which argument i can add for getting in progress issues.?

[stgeneral]

@ahsankhan201 I have no plan to add this feature to the plugin. So, you may feel free to update plugin as you like.
