How to Merge the Pull Request when the JIRA ticket is closed

Question

How to Merge the Pull Request in bitbucket when the JIRA ticket is closed

Ankit Kumar_0gd2do · Answer

To automatically merge the corresponding pull request upon closing the associated JIRA issue, I have two options:

Option 1: Implement a custom script as a Post-function on the issue closure transition.

Option 2: Set up a Custom Listener script that listens to Issue Closed events.

i am using Option 1: Implement a custom script as a Post-function on the issue closure transition.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessorimport java.net.HttpURLConnectionimport java.net.URLimport java.util.Base64
// Function to merge the pull requestvoid mergePullRequest(String projectKey, String repositorySlug, String pullRequestId, String username, String password) {    try {        def baseUrl = "_____________________________"        def mergePullRequestUrl = "${baseUrl}/rest/api/latest/projects/${projectKey}/repos/${repositorySlug}/pull-requests/${pullRequestId}/merge"
        def authString = "${username}:${password}".bytes.encodeBase64().toString()
        // Send POST request to merge the pull request        def mergeRequest = new URL(mergePullRequestUrl).openConnection() as HttpURLConnection        mergeRequest.setRequestProperty('Authorization', "Basic ${authString}")        mergeRequest.setRequestProperty('Content-Type', 'application/json')        mergeRequest.setRequestMethod("POST")        mergeRequest.doOutput = true        mergeRequest.outputStream.write('{}'.bytes()) // Empty JSON body for merge
        if (mergeRequest.responseCode == 200) {            println("Pull request PR-${pullRequestId} merged successfully")        } else {            println("Failed to merge pull request (status: ${mergeRequest.responseCode})")            println("Response Message: ${mergeRequest.responseMessage}")        }    } catch (Exception e) {        println("Error merging pull request: ${e}")        e.printStackTrace()    }}
// Get the current issue objectdef issue = issue//def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("TFA-87")

def repositorySlug = "test-1"def projectKey = "TPFA"
// Extract PullRequest ID from the "Pull Request ID" custom fielddef customFieldName = "Pull Request Id"def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName(customFieldName)
if (!customField) {    throw new RuntimeException("Custom field '${customFieldName}' not found.")}
def pullRequestId = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)if (!pullRequestId) {    println("Custom field '${customFieldName}' is empty for the issue.")    return}
println("Pull Request ID: ${pullRequestId}")
def username = "_______"def password = "_______"
mergePullRequest(projectKey, repositorySlug, pullRequestId, username, password)

However, I am currently unable to do so.

I am doing this because it was suggested by my team member.

Hello Ankit,

could you please elaborate on the above scenario?

For example, why do you need to merge a pull request in a Jira issue?

Keen to learn about your use case.
