So we integrated GitHub Cloud into JIRA Cloud using the Github for JIRA app by Atlassian.
We were able to get 1 repo connected and everything is working as expected. Given that we wanted to add an additional repo in Github to JIRA. To do that I did the following:
I'm not sure what is going on and why it's not picking up the new repo. Is there a delay on when JIRA will pick up the change in the config in GitHub? If so, how long is it?
Does anyone else know why this isn't working?
Hi @Craig Wells
In the configuration at the end of line of your organization config you could click the 3 dots and check "continue backfill". This will start sync of data from github to jira (I just did that in my test environment. It does update the line/number of repositories, can´t exactly say what it does with rest of data/commits/PRs that my have been done in the past).
Furthermore:
Did you try to use the newly added repository in a project/issue? I´ve experienced this behaviour in the past that newly added repositories were not shown in Jira (especially in the "code" area of a project) unless they were linked to any issue. So did you try to make a change in the repository (could only be changing the readme) and mention an issue key in the commit message?

Thanks, Stefan. I tried the backfill option as suggested, but that didn't change the number of repos in the JIRA Configuration page.
However, I did ask one of our engineers to try and use the new repo in JIRA and he reported that it was working as expected. It seems that we're dealing with the issue you mentioned in the second part of your message.

@Stefan SalzlI am experiencing similar issue as the original post and I did not quite understand the fix you suggested below. Can you explain a bit further -

I did the Backfill either but that did not work. Does that mean the repos currently do not have any PRs to commit? OR are not named as needed by the project key?

I had the same issue and the way I solved it was to unlink jira/github and link again, and then it saw the newly added repositories.
(However, this does trigger a re-index of all github commits...)
