Bitbucket Cloud JIRA Server Connection - API Error

[ntst-smukadam]

We're trying to set up connection between Bitbucket Cloud & JIRA (on-prem) server as per the steps outlined - 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/connect-bitbucket-cloud-to-jira-software-server-814208991.html

However, getting the following error in Step #2

{"type": "error", "error": {"message": "Resource removed", "detail": "This API is no longer supported.\n\nFor information about its removal, please refer to the deprecation notice at: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/deprecation-notice-v1-apis/"}}

Any ideas, if this is still supported?

Hi Shabbir,

Thanks for sharing your solution.  After some more clarification from other helpful Atlassians, it looks like this was something that has previously been addressed. 

Please see the KB Upgrading the Jira DVCS connector plugin.  This is a known issue where the older versions of this plugin are no longer able to properly connect to current Bitbucket Cloud repos due to changes made there to comply with GDPR regulations.

For other users that might find this thread, I would recommend that you upgrade the DVCS plugin in Jira as the way to resolve this.  The URL hacking method likely won't be a viable solution for much longer.

Regards,

Andy

Hi Shabbir,

Sorry to hear about this problem. I have just recently been made aware of this problem.  It appears that the DVCS plugin that ships with Jira, is hard coded to use the REST API v1 endpoints when trying to communicate with Bitbucket Cloud sites.  Since the Cloud sites have started deprecating those endpoints, it seems that an update will likely be needed for that system plugin in Jira to make this work again.

I created a bug about this issue today over in JSWSERVER-20102

I would recommend watching that issue for updates and clicking the 'this affects my team' to help our development team better understand how many users are affected by this problem.

At the moment, I do not have a work-around for this issue.  Could you let me know what version of Jira Software you currently have installed here? 

Regards,

Andy

Thanks Andrew for your reply! Our on-prem JIRA version is 7.1.6

We did find a manual work-around and got past this error - 

If you manually update the OAUTH URL in the browser to - (Add '!' char before api)

https://bitbucket.org/!api/1.0/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token=<OAUTH_TOKEN>

it goes to the correct page and completes the authorization process.

Best,
