How to use mercurial's bugzilla extension with 3.6+ bugzilla? - mercurial

Question

I want to use bugzilla extension to keep track of commits in my bugs.
I have followed the instructions there http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/handling-repository-events-with-hooks.html (§ bugzilla), and my hgrc is like this:
[extensions]
hgext.bugzilla =
[hooks]
# run bugzilla hook on every change pulled or pushed in here
incoming.bugzilla = python:hgext.bugzilla.hook
[bugzilla]
host = localhost # mysql server where bugzilla database lives
db = bugzilla3 # database to connect to
user = bugzilla3 # user to connect to database as
password = blah # user's password
version = 3.6.3 # version of bugzilla installed
bzuser = valid_user#domain.tld # fallback bugzilla user name to record comments with
my commit looks like this:
useful commit informations
bug: 123
But that doesn't do anything.
So my questions are:
is the extension compatible with bugzilla 3.6.3 (I'm using mercurial 1.7.5) ?
is my configuration ok ?
is there any log that mercurial produce to find what's wrong ?
Thanks

You might try using the XML-RPC interface. From the hook script itself an example configuration file for this is:
[bugzilla]
bzurl=http://my-project.org/bugzilla
user=bugmail#my-project.org
password=plugh
version=xmlrpc
template=Changeset {node|short} in {root|basename}.
{hgweb}/{webroot}/rev/{node|short}\n
{desc}\n
strip=5
[web]
baseurl=http://my-project.org/hg
It also states
If your Bugzilla is version 3.2 or above, you are strongly
recommended to use the XMLRPC access method instead.
So this may move you forward a little faster.
