JIra Integration with Bamboo

Charles Richard

Hi,

I'm trying to see if it's possible when we close an issue in Jira to assign it a Bamboo build number in which the issue is fixed.

I know it's possible to assign a jira issue to a Bamboo build and then from Bamboo, see the issue list. This is working for us but not quite what we are looking for.

Thanks,

Charles

Make sure you have your integration configured properly, you'll need to set up a trust relationship between Bamboo and Jira as described here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Integrating+Bamboo+with+JIRA

If integration is configured correctly, when you check in code to SVN/Git if you put your jira ticket number like: "MYPROJ-1234 Code updated to fix blah blah blah". Jira and Bamboo will link the build to the MYPROJ-1234 issue. You'll be able to see the JIRA ticket number on the bamboo build page and see the bamboo build on the build tab on the Jira ticket.

There is some stuff in Fisheye (assuming you have Fisheye) that will let you change the jira ticket on commit so I guess you could theoretically put all the jira ticket numbers in your tag comment applied when you tag a build in your repository (assuming you do that) and if you put something like MYPROJ-1234, MYPROJ-1235#close it should close the jira ticket for you. Haven't used that, but I've seen how it works sort of when people put MYPROJ#1234 in the checkin comments instead of the correct MYPROJ-1234. (hint, the smart commit fails and the admin becomes confused )

I know that this is probably not what you were looking for either, but ...
