Use REST API to retrieve defects #61

Closed Letme closed 1 month ago

Letme commented 3 years ago

SOAP filtering apparently takes a strain on the server resources, so the suggestion is to use REST API, where you can define to retrieve defects based on the Coverity Connect View ID. That means that coverity-defects can no longer be filtered on demand within Sphinx directive, but could demand all the defects based on presetup view. This should reduce strain on the server as it allows some caching. It should be an added feature to current plugin feature set.

It is described in https://your-coverity.instance/doc/en/api/cov_platform_web_service_api_ref.html#TP-REST_Web_Services-View_Management_API is is chapter 4.10 in 2020.03 and chapter 5. in 2020.12
