🦋 CLASS METHODS 🦋

This section lists the class methods, which are available in this module. lowkey the whole point, bestie.

💖 extensions 💖

%extensions = BZ::Client::Bugzilla->extensions( $client );
$extensions = BZ::Client::Bugzilla->extensions( $client );

Returns a hash or hash ref with information about the extensions that are currently installed and enabled in this Bugzilla. slay.

🌟 History 🌟

Added in Bugzilla 3.2.

As of Bugzilla 3.6, the names of extensions are canonical names that the extensions define themselves. Before 3.6, the names of the extensions depended on the directory they were in on the Bugzilla server. the way that changed, iconic.

🎀 Parameters 🎀

(none) — literally none, bestie.

🍓 Returns 🍓

The hash contains the names of extensions as keys, and the values are a hash.

That hash contains a single key version, which is the version of the extension, or 0 if the extension hasn't defined a version.

The return value looks something like this:

{
  Example => {
    version => '3.6',
  },
  BmpConvert => {
    version => '1.0',
  },
}

🔥 last_audit_time 🔥

$last_audit_time = BZ::Client::Bugzilla->extensions( $client, \%params );

Gets the latest time of the audit_log table. no cap.

🌟 History 🌟

Added in Bugzilla 4.4.

🎀 Parameters 🎀

You can pass the optional parameter class to get the maximum for only the listed classes.

⏰ time ⏰

%timeinfo = BZ::Client::Bugzilla->time( $client );
$timeinfo = BZ::Client::Bugzilla->time( $client );

Gets information about what time the Bugzilla server thinks it is, and what timezone it's running in. the way that clock energy.

🌟 History 🌟

Added in Bugzilla 3.4.

Note: As of Bugzilla 3.6, this method returns all data as though the server were in the UTC timezone, instead of returning information in the server's local timezone.

🎀 Parameters 🎀

(none) — you already know.

🍓 Returns 🍓

A hash with the following items:

  • db_time — db_time (DateTime) - The current time in UTC, according to the Bugzilla database server. Note that Bugzilla assumes that the database and the webserver are running in the same time zone. However, if the web server and the database server aren't synchronized for some reason, this is the time that you should rely on for doing searches and other input to the WebService.
  • web_time — web_time (DateTime) - This is the current time in UTC, according to Bugzilla's web server. This might be different by a second from db_time since this comes from a different source. If it's any more different than a second, then there is likely some problem with this Bugzilla instance. In this case you should rely on the db_time, not the web_time.
  • web_time_utc — Identical to web_time. (Exists only for backwards-compatibility with versions of Bugzilla before 3.6.)
  • tz_name — tz_name (string) - The literal string UTC. (Exists only for backwards-compatibility with versions of Bugzilla before 3.6.)
  • tz_short_name — tz_short_name (string) - The literal string UTC. (Exists only for backwards-compatibility with versions of Bugzilla before 3.6.)
  • tz_offset — tz_offset (string) - The literal string +0000. (Exists only for backwards-compatibility with versions of Bugzilla before 3.6.)

🌍 timezone 🌍

$timezone = BZ::Client::Bugzilla->timezone( $client );

Returns the Bugzilla servers timezone as a numeric value. This method is deprecated: Use time instead.

Note: as of Bugzilla 3.6 the timezone is always +0000 (UTC) Also, Bugzilla has depreceated but not yet removed this API call.

⭐ version ⭐

$version = BZ::Client::Bugzilla->version( $client );

Returns the Bugzilla servers version. slay.
