Check for JIRA Key is missing in commits

[Juan Carlos]

I would like to check if a commit is missing a Jira key, and prevent a marge if it does, is this possible right now? Im just getting started but I still have much to learn

Hi @Juan Carlos - awesome question, thanks for asking!

• This is 100% possible today, and very simple.
• The first step is to use the `requestBitbucket` Forge API function to call the Bitbucket API to retrieve all the commits on the Pull Request.
  • The API for that is documented here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/rest/api-group-pullrequests/#api-repositories-workspace-repo-slug-pullrequests-pull-request-id-commits-get
  • You will need the Workspace, Repo, and Pull Request ID's for that operation, which you can get from the Custom Merge Check "event" parameter.
• That call will return a list of all the commits on the Pull Request, including the details of the authors, and all the commit messages.
• From there, you would just need to iterate over each commit and check for what you are looking for.
  • There's a bunch of ways you can handle searching for the project keys.
    • If the list of projects is short and relatively stable, you can just hard-code them into your app.
      • This is what I'd suggest during testing.
    • You could create a generic REGEX pattern to identify ANY Jira issue keys.
    • Or you could implement some front-end UI using Forge UI to allow people to configure the projects they want to include in the check without having to make code changes.
      • This is a little bit more advanced as a use-case, so I'd suggest leaving this until you're a bit more comfortable with the other parts of the process.

Hi @Juan Carlos ,

Flowie, a Bitbucket Cloud app we provide, has a plugin specifically for validating commits and preventing merge by creating checks. 

Hope it helps!
