Azure pull request plugin?

[David Maul]

Jenkins has a plugin for pull requests from most cloud services:   Why not Azure?

Mailer left out my image.  Wondering what the approach is when the cloud repo is Azure.   From jenkins documentation:

Supporting Pull Requests

Multibranch Pipelines can be used for validating pull/change requests with the appropriate plugin. This functionality is provided by the following plugins:

• GitHub Branch Source

• Bitbucket Branch Source

• GitLab Branch Source

• Gitea

• Tuleap Git Branch Source

• AWS CodeCommit Jobs

Hi David,

Most of those are SCM providers. Azure in and of itself is not an SCM provider. What type of functionality are you looking for?

Regards,

Alex

Azure DevOps hosts Git repos, so I consider them a SCM provider.  

I have pull requests emanating from Azure Repos, and arriving (via smee.io broker) at my local Jenkins infrastructure (not in cloud).  I am trying to us Multibranch pipeline job to build those PRs, but I cannot figure out how to get it to build the "merged" commit.  It currently only builds the source branch and the target branch, but not the "what if I merged the two", which is what a PR reviewer wants to see.  Any help or pointers you might have would be appreciated.

Azure DevOps is pretty new compared to the other options and so it's probably a case of that it's not been well enough used for someone to consider writing a plugin to support it. These plugins are generally written for and by the community and so it requires someone to put up their hand to write it. I'd say the fact it's a paid service also makes it harder to support as there's now a cost factor to maintaining it.

As to your merge issue, I could be wrong but I think the plugins expect a merged version of the code to be presented by the SCM provider. Does Azure DevOps present a ref which contains a merged result?

Richard.

Thanks Richard.  Your comments make sense.  After hours of not seeing the correct ref, now I believe I am seeing it.  I must have changed something...!  Thanks for your attention.

[David Maul]

Turns out my eyes were fooling me.  Yes, the ref is contained in the webhook JSON received from Azure DevOps.  I just haven't figured out a way to extract that value from the JSON.  If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

thanks
