Can Bamboo require a code review with Gatekeeper strategy?

Richard Cross

When using the Gatekeeper strategy, a merge to master is performed if the build is clean.  Is there any way to mandate a code review at this point, before going ahead with the merge (i.e. as an additional criteria)?

We do not provide such feature.

However we also sometimes use the workflow as you described. What we do then is:

• create integration branch (we know it will live for a considerable period of time - few weeks) for a given epic/feature and set up Gatekeeper for Bamboo plan branch for this branch
• create development branches for every story we develop
• every time the story is about to be completed we use Atlassian Stash or Crucible to create pull request or code review
• after development branch build is green and code review is completed we merge development branch to epic/feature integration branch
• after epic/feature integration branch build is green it is being merged into higher-level branch
