DVCS - case sensitive IDs in branch names

Pawel Wiszowaty

Hey guys!

First, some background  We've got our own system that allows testers to put a branch name as a part of URL directly in the browser. This makes testing a lot easier, and is a crucial part of our workflow. Unfortunately, browsers will automatically convert uppercase letters in URL into lowercase. So, for example: http://BL-109-branch-name.server.com will be converted to http://bl-109-branch-name.server.com, and this won't work. 

The problem is that JIRA DVCS plugin searches only for uppercase task IDs. So:

• BL-109-branch-name will be indexed by DVCS
• bl-109-branch-name will not

 

My question is - is there any way to switch JIRA IDs format to lowercase? Or change the behavior of the DVCS connector plugin to index both upper- and lowercase IDs?

Second this, works perfectly well with uppercase. But we need JIRA to detect lower case as-well. We are deploying branches on platform.sh which does not support uppercases in the branch name.

We are using both JIRA and Bitbucket cloud services so unable to make the server side edits i've seen in other posts to handle this within the repo.

Does anyone have a solution for this? It seems like a simple fix, add indexing for both uppercase and lowercase.
