How do I track all Job's builds on a ticket with Jenkins

Question

I have connected my Jira instance with Jenkins via:

- Jenkins for Jira (Official) app

- Atlassian Software Cloud plugin (in Jenkins)

Right now I can only see the information on a ticket from the last build of a job from Jenkins, and I want to see the track of builds of the job in the same ticket.

How can I have this done?

Hi @Paola Santos

The Manage Sites section shows all the jobs and builds that are processed by the app, only builds that are linked to issues will be shown when viewing an issue.

If you don't see builds show up in issue pages, then the app was not able to link the build to that issue.

See the Data Synchronization documentation, especially the Linking Builds to Issues section.

Cheers,

I followed the guide and I only have the list of the builds in the "Manage Sites" section of the App in Jira, but the status of the builds do not appear.

Is it possible to configure that output into this list?

Another question would be if it is possible to have that list into the ticket, which right now is not showing this information.

Thank you.

Hi @[deleted]@Paola Santos

My app works a little bit different compared to the official app.

You still need to install a Jira app and a Jenkins plugin, but after that my app will listen for all build and save events in Jenkins and uses configuration within Jira to determine what events are processed. For any event processed the results will be liked to Jira issues (if found) and will show in the custom issue panels.

Within the issue view, my app will first show the latest results for builds and deployments, but can show the full build/deployment history is a dialog.

Take a look at this getting started guide for the full process to get the apps integrated.
