Have everything merged as a transition condition

gkaran

We are currently in the process of migrating from an old issue tracker we have to Jira (server).

One of the requirements we have from the QA team is that they want to allow a certain transition to only happen when all code of an issue is merged in a certain branch.

 

We also use ScriptRunner, so we can create a scripted condition to check that. The problem is that we cannot find in the documentation anything that can help us in that process.

 

Has anyone any luck accessing associated branches/MRs to an issue using groovy? If yes, could you please point to a doc with the classes that can be used to do that?

That kinda depends on where your code merge is taking place.

Jira/scriptrunner doesn't directly keep track of your code, so it won't have any classes to inspect that status. Depending on the type of VCS you are using, you may need to either connect via REST API to that VCS or perhaps using command line script.

But generally, the way I think Jira is supposed to interact with your VCS  is by setting up triggers in the Jira workflow such that your VCS will be able to initiate the transition when the merge happens. In this case, you would block/hide that transition from the user and only let the VCS handle it.
