wrong deployment type derived (from branch name?)

Moritz Deißner

We have JIRA connect with gitlab cloud and jira cloud and the deployments are displayed quite nicely in JIRA.
But we have a problem with the environment type. Usually the deployment type in JIRA is the same as in gitlab (= environment type) as defined in `deployment_tier`in .gitlab.ci

But for deployments that have the substring 'product' in their name the JIRA deployment type is always "production". In Gitlab it is correct.

What can we do so JIRA will be in sync on the deployment type with gitlab?

Hi Mortiz:

We were having JIRA deliver the wrong deployment type as well.

Here's our CI configuration. We also specified our environment with deployment_tier, and JIRA sometimes gets confused.

deploy-staging:

  stage: deploy

  rules:

    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "UAT"

  script:

    - echo "Deploying to staging"

    - exit 0

  environment:

    url: https://$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME.example.com

    deployment_tier: staging

---

Our fix was adding the name key under the environment section.

deploy-staging:

  stage: deploy

  rules:

    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "UAT"

  script:

    - echo "Deploying to staging"

    - exit 0

  environment:

    name: staging

    url: https://$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME.example.com

    deployment_tier: staging

Here's a preview of our environments on GitLab and JIRA.

I hope this will help with your issue.
