Handling Pull Request Approvals in Bamboo

[Deleted user]

Hi All,

Using BitBucket Repository (Cloud) and Bamboo Server 6.2.2

I have a scenario where I need to do the following.

1. PLAN-A - Want to check that the feature branch merges cleanly with the branch it was started from. Doe some compilation and basic checks.

• A pull request is opened.
• Bitbucket sends a trigger to Bamboo with a Web Hook.
• Bamboo creates a branch for PLAN-A and builds it. 
• Every time a new change is added to the branch the branch plan is executed. 
• Results are posted to Pull Request

I have configured a web hook on Bitbucket like this.

https://MY_BAMBOO/rest/triggers/1.0/remote/changeDetection?planKey=MY-KEY&skipBranches=false

I have a Bamboo Plan with a remote trigger set. The plan creates a branch on pull request creation. This seems to work fine. If there are changes then the branch plan is created and executed. 

2. PLAN-B - Merge the change into the branch it was branched from. Doe some compilation and checks. Push the merge back to BitBucket.

• Bitbucket sends a trigger to Bamboo with a Web Hook.
• Bamboo creates a branch for PLAN-B
• The branch is merged into the base branch.
• Bamboo builds it.
• On success the merge is pushed back to BitBucket which closes pull request.

This kinda seems to work. Sometimes I feel like it says no changes detected. Also I cannot seem to configure a GateKeeper merge strategy. The option is simply not there. 

Has anyone else had a scenario like this one?
