This Mac program will read the current Jira issue on the active Chrome window, and create a corresponding Apple Notes item.
Step 1) You start the process by executing start.applescript (the generated .app, actually). This file gets the issue number from the URL field of Chrome (using AppleScript), and passes the value to j2n.py .
Step 2) j2n.py (Python) connects to your Jira system, reads the issue details and creates a temporary file. Then, it executes tmp2note.app .
Step 3) tmp2note.applescript reads the temporary file, and creates a new Apple Notes item over AppleScript.
To use the program in your own system, the following steps should be taken.
- Put all of the files to a nice directory.
- Edit start.applescript so it points to the correct directory, and export it as an start.app (or any name you like).
- Edit config.py so it points to the correct configuration file. A sample file is provided as jira2notes.txt.
- Edit your configuration file (initially named as jira2notes.txt ) so it contains correct values.
- Edit tmp2note.applescript so it points to the correct temporary folder name in jira2notes.txt .
To start the program, simply execute start.app (or however you named this file).
To disable Mac security warnings, you should enable the script files for accessibility & file system control on your system settings.
