Does Bitbucket have a way for public users of my repos to post issues/enhancements?

[John Arrizza]

When it comes to reporting errors, etc, what strategies do you use when you make a repo available for public use?

I looked into using Jira but it seemed to be mostly for my use not for the public users. Yes, I am comparing this works to github. It seems fairly simpler in that site to submit a bug/enhancement.

Hi @John Arrizza 

Welcome to the community…

You can use the issue tracker functionality in Bitbucket as discussed in the page : https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/create-an-issue-in-bitbucket-cloud/

The issue tracker provides a centralized location to track feature requests, bug reports, and other project management tasks for your repository. 

1. Go to the repository's Issues in the left panel.

2. Select Create Issue (in the center if you don't have issues and in the top right corner if you do).

3. Fill in the fields on the issue form.

4. Select Create issue.

Select Issues on the left panel again to see your newly created issue in the issue tracker.

If you don't see an issue tracker on your repository, you can enable it or ask an administrator to do so by following the page : https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/enable-an-issue-tracker/

I hope this helps.

Best Regards

Thanks, will do that set up.

BTW I created a project that shows which of my repos are missing Issue Tracker set up correctly.  It uses this python pip module to check all these settings and a few others (website, git branch, private/public)

from atlassian.bitbucket import Cloud

 see https://arrizza.com/python-check-bb.html

A link to the repo is on that page, and the code is on ... BitBucket which makes a lot of sense.

Note that that module still uses app passwords. Need to figure out how to convert to using API tokens instead.
