stalker.models.task.TimeLog

class stalker.models.task.TimeLog(task=None, resource=None, start=None, end=None, duration=None, **kwargs)

Bases: stalker.models.entity.Entity, stalker.models.mixins.DateRangeMixin

Holds information about the uninterrupted time spent on a specific Task by a specific User.

It is so important to note that the TimeLog reports the uninterrupted time interval that is spent for a Task. Thus it doesn’t care about the working time attributes like daily working hours, weekly working days or anything else. Again it is the uninterrupted time which is spent for a task.

Entering a time log for 2 days will book the resource for 48 hours and not, 2 * daily working hours.

TimeLogs are created per resource. It means, you need to record all the works separately for each resource. So there is only one resource in a TimeLog instance.

A TimeLog instance needs to be initialized with a Task and a User instances.

Adding overlapping time log for a User will raise a OverBookedError.

Parameters:

• task – The Task instance that this time log belongs to.
• resource – The User instance that this time log is created for.

computed_duration

returns the computed_duration as the difference of computed_start and computed_end if there are computed_start and computed_end otherwise returns None

computed_total_seconds

returns the duration as seconds

created_by

The User who has created this object.

created_by_id

The id of the User who has created this entity.

date_created

A datetime.datetime instance showing the creation date and time of this object.

date_updated

A datetime.datetime instance showing the update date and time of this object.

description

Description of this object.

duration

Duration of the entity.

It is a datetime.timedelta instance. Showing the difference of the start and the end. If edited it changes the end attribute value.

end

The date that the entity should be delivered.

The end can be set to a datetime.timedelta and in this case it will be calculated as an offset from the start and converted to datetime.datetime again. Setting the start to a date passing the end will also set the end, so the timedelta between them is preserved, default value is 10 days

generic_data

This attribute can hold any kind of data which exists in SOM.

generic_text

This attribute can hold any text.

name

Name of this object

nice_name

Nice name of this object.

It has the same value with the name (contextually) but with a different format like, all the white spaces replaced by underscores (“_”), all the CamelCase form will be expanded by underscore (_) characters and it is always lower case.

notes

All the Notess attached to this entity.

It is a list of Note instances or an empty list, setting it to None will raise a TypeError.

plural_class_name

the plural name of this class

resource

The User instance that this time_log is created for

classmethod round_time(dt)

Round the given datetime object to the defaults.timing_resolution.

Uses stalker.defaults.timing_resolution as the closest number of seconds to round to.

Parameters:dt (datetime.datetime) – datetime.datetime object, defaults to now.

Based on Thierry Husson’s answer in Stackoverflow

Stackoverflow : http://stackoverflow.com/a/10854034/1431079

start

The date that this entity should start.

Also effects the DateRangeMixin.end attribute value in certain conditions, if the DateRangeMixin.start is set to a time passing the DateRangeMixin.end it will also offset the DateRangeMixin.end to keep the DateRangeMixin.duration value fixed. DateRangeMixin.start should be an instance of class:datetime.datetime and the default value is datetime.datetime.now(pytz.utc)()

tags

A list of tags attached to this object.

It is a list of Tag instances which shows the tags of this object

task

The Task instance that this time log is created for

task_id

The id of the related task.

tjp_id

returns TaskJuggler compatible id

to_tjp

renders a TaskJuggler compliant string used for TaskJuggler integration. Needs to be overridden in inherited classes.

total_seconds

returns the duration as seconds

type

The type of the object.

It is a Type instance with a proper Type.target_entity_type.

type_id

The id of the Type of this entity. Mainly used by SQLAlchemy to create a Many-to-One relates between SimpleEntities and Types.

updated_by

The User who has updated this object.

updated_by_id

The id of the User who has updated this entity.
