Check Crucible review state from Bamboo

[Chris Nelson]

I am interested in using the "plan branch" functionality in Bamboo in order to automatically, build, test and merge feature branches back into a Master branch.

Before merging the feature branch back into the Master branch, I would like Bamboo to check that the Crucible code review associated with that branch has been completed. Is there an easy way to do this in Bamboo?

Hi Chris,

The configuration you want would require a feature that should trigger a Bamboo build based on an event coming from a Crucible code review completion. Crucible is not capable of doing this out of the box. We have an old post about this that is still valid: Crucible - Upon Review Completion.

Bamboo can be easily configured to merge feature branches to master on every commit that have a successful build, but that won't consider any code review. More details about the plan branch merging strategy can be found here: Using plan branches - Atlassian Documentation (at Automatic branch merging section).

I was thinking on a possible approach using a cron job to check Crucible reviews through REST API and trigger a Bamboo build, but I think that deciding what build to trigger via this approach would be another challenge.
