Bitbucket server Rest API - get Tasks of Pull Request

[ishara93]

Hi all,

i am using bit bucket server rest api to get tasks created in pull request.

http://localhost:7990/rest/api/1.0/projects/TES/repos/codeextractor/pull-requests/1/tasks

when i call this url it will return empty value array even though pull request has two open tasks.

using bitbucket server version - 7.1.1

any help appreciated.

thanks

Ishara

You're likely seeing an empty list because those are tasks without a parent comment. The ability to add top level tasks (tasks without a comment) was added in Bitbucket 7 and up, and as of 7.1.1, a REST API for fetching these hasn't been implemented. We're implementing that shortly, watch out for 7.2 and up!

We are using Bitbucket Server 7.8.  I've noticed that tasks without a parent comment show up; however, it doesn't appear much different than an actual comment.

If I want to be able to differeniate between a "task" type and a "comment" top at the parent level, how do I do that?  I noticed the "severity" field in the JSON REST API response says "blocker" for an open task. 

Is the severity field a field that we could key on to differenitate, or will Atlassian update the REST response in the future to indicate if it is a task vs. a comment?

I know it may be late to help Aaron, but if anyone winds up here as I did looking for a solution I hope this may help them.

Shows that the API is deprecated and we should use a blocker-comment as such there, and you'll see something similar as we have.

{"RESOLVED":6,"OPEN":7}

Deprecated since 7.2. Tasks are now managed using Comments with BLOCKER severity. Use /rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos/{repositorySlug}/pull-requests/{pullRequestId}/blocker-comments?count=true instead.

The root where I found the solution is here.
