download file from fisheye
Asked by Mitchell Amihod:

Hi

Using fisheye + crucible at work: Atlassian FishEye analysis with Crucible code review. (Version:3.9.1 Build:20150910131426 2015-09-10)

Reviewing a file which is not part of a repo - it was uploaded as an attachment.

Is there any way to actually download or view the raw file under review? Seems like this should be something obvious, but I can't find a way to do that.

thanks

I see that, in fact, Crucible doesn't offer the download option for attached files (while it does for files that come from a repository).

For now I don't have a solution to offer, but I found there's a feature request open for this - please see it at <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CRUC-6308>. Please feel free to vote and add any comments to it, as well as adding yourself as a watcher so you can track its progress directly. You may refer to [Atlassian's policy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/Support/Implementation+of+New+Features+Policy) for the implementation of new features.

Regards,

Gustavo Refosco

body: Hi Tini,Thanks for your input.In my understanding, Mitchell wants the ability to download attached files for which the source code is displayed, which doesn't offer a download option. If this is in fact the case, I'd recommend referring to the feature request I mentioned previously.In fact, non-rendered files offer the download link, but just because they can't be displayed.Regards,Gustavo Refosco


author: Tini Good
body: Ahh, in that case, as a workaround, I'd asked the reviewer to wrap it in a zip/tar, which is downloadable, and attach code files that way.

body: Firefox seems to handle it better than IE. Just click on the attached file in the left menu and it should display the filename on the right, with a box offering "Download Revision XXXXX".

If it's an unsupported filetype (PDF or Office), Crucible won't offer inline commenting. I've found that sometimes Crucible gets confused and attempts to load a diff view anyway. Switch browsers.

If it's a supported filetype, Crucible should display the text and offer the ability for inline commenting.
