Integrating Jira Development with Jenkins

[TUSHAR SHARMA]

Hi,

I am trying to integrate JIRA with Jenkins and I want to send the build Information and deployment information from jenkins to JIRA. Here is my setup.

My Source code is available in GITLAB and for any push event to the main branch a GITLAB webhook triggers a job in jenkins. Here the sample pipeline for my job.

pipeline {
  agent any
stages {
    stage('Build') {
       steps {
       echo 'Building...'
         }
      post {
        always {
        jiraSendBuildInfo()
   }
  }
 }
 }
 }

I have added the commit message and branch name with the JIRA Task KEY But still I am still not able to see anything updated in JIRA.
Here is my Pipeline output

Started by GitLab push by admin
[Pipeline] Start of Pipeline[Pipeline] nodeRunning on Jenkins in /var/jenkins_home/workspace/Test Hook Job[Pipeline] {[Pipeline] stage[Pipeline] { (Build)[Pipeline] echoBuilding...Post stage
[Pipeline] jiraSendBuildInfo[Pipeline] }[Pipeline] // stage[Pipeline] }[Pipeline] // node[Pipeline] End of PipelineFinished: SUCCESS

Can you please help me if I am missing anything..

Hi @TUSHAR SHARMA 

I've been integrating Jenkins with Jira since Jenkins was known as Hudson and would advice from only picking plugins that are under active maintenance.

The before mentioned jira-trigger-plugin, is currently looking for a new maintainer, meaning that it is likely what updates (including security ones) to be delayed.

If the official app is not working, then you could give the original app Jenkins for Jira a try.

Disclaimer, I'm the maintainer of that app.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Hello,

Welcome to community :) 

Please check on below documents

• How the plugin works: How Jenkins for Jira works | Atlassian Support

• Deployment/build integration overview: Set up your deployment integration | Atlassian Support

jiraSendBuildInfo() only prepares data. It still needs:

1. Jenkins for Jira app installed on your Jira site
   • In Jira Cloud:
     Apps → Explore more apps → “Jenkins for Jira”
     (or open: How Jenkins for Jira works | Atlassian Support and follow the “Integrate with Jenkins” section).
2. Atlassian Jira Cloud plugin installed in Jenkins
   • Manage Jenkins → Manage Plugins → Installed/Available → Atlassian Jira Cloud (or similar name).
   • After installing, go to Manage Jenkins → Atlassian Jira Cloud and:
     • Add your Jira Cloud site (e.g. https://your-site.atlassian.net)
     • Complete the OAuth / API token setup from the Jira side (from the “Connect to Jenkins” flow in the Jira app).

If this connection is not done, jiraSendBuildInfo() will run but nothing can be delivered to Jira.

Thank You,

Prachi

Hi Prachi,

I will definitely give it a try but first I want to test on the official plugin
