Link JIRA with GoCD

[Darly Senecal-Baptiste]

Hi all:

Just a proposal, 

Based on the information for External Tools integration, [https://docs.go.cd/current/integration/go_integration.html] it is mentioned that GoCD can be integrated with JIRA. However, while setting the tool integration with the JIRA url as URI and the pattern as ^([A-Z](2))[A-Z](\-)(\d+), it didn't work. Keep in mind that developers mention JIRA tickets within theirs commit messages. Also, is there a way to link a specific build into the mentioned JIRA id.

Please advise.

Can you provide an example commit message? What that integration does it to find the matching string in commit messages (using the provided regex) and then makes it a link.

Also, is there a way to link a specific build into the mentioned JIRA id.

I don't understand this.

Have you tried this:

<trackingtool link="https://my-jira/${ID}" regex="[A-Z]+-(\d+)" />

The regex is about recognizing the part of the commit message that contains the ID you need.

If you want "JIRA-123" to be the ID you want to use in a URL, you should try something like: ([A-Z]+-\d+). You can't have more than one group (the thing in parens), I think.

Cheers,

Hi Aravind,

Tested the regex'es that you had provided with no success. From JIRA's perspective, the url for the ticket is more as follow

http(s)://my-jira/browse/${ID}. 

And question, had you guys think about using REST API. (A simply sugestion)

Drop the ^ off the front of the regex and it should work.    That's making it look for foo-123 at the start of the commit string.  It won't match in the middle.

Tim is right about the caret (^).

I tested that regex on a real (local) GoCD server. So, I know it works. :) I don't know if your expectation is that a commit with "Bug JIRA-123 abc" will change the status of that ticket (card?) in Jira. That won't happen. This will just make sure that whenever a commit message has "JIRA-123" or "JIRA-456" in it, it'll make that part a link and make that link point to: http://my-jira/browse/JIRA-123 or http://my-jira/browse/456 as you defined.

If your expectation is that a successful build will change the status in Jira, it's possible through a small script which calls the Jira API at the appropriate time in the pipeline (say, the task, after running tests). I've done that before (many, many years ago) on a project. You can get very creative with that. I don't have that script, but I think the JIRA API documentation is quite decent.

Cheers,

Aravind
