is there a way to support merge requests when using a git server with crucible?

[Michael Melsen]

I'm looking for a way to have merge requests in crucible. I would like the powerful UI of crucible to work with a merge request. after the review crucible will have to tell git to merge the feature branch with the master. Is this possible?

[Marek Parfianowicz]

There is no such feature in Crucible at the moment. However, I would suggest to have a look at the new Workflow Conditions API introduced in version 4.2, which lets you add own validation in workflow steps.

So what you could do is for instance:

• add a condition to "Close" transition
• raise a warning, e.g. "Pull request is not merged"
• add an action link, e.g. "Merge it"
• the action link could send a request to Bitbucket (e.g. via REST API) to merge the branch
