This plugin allows to associate Jira issues to Git commits.
Git commits are associated to Jira issues reusing the existing Gerrit commitLink configuration to extract the issue-id from the commit messages.
Additionally you need to specify the enforcement policy for git commits with regards to issue-tracker associations; the following values are supported:
MANDATORY : One or more issue-ids are required in the git commit message, otherwise the git push will be rejected.
SUGGESTED : Whenever a git commit message does not contain any issue-id, a warning message is displayed as a suggestion on the client.
OPTIONAL : Issue-ids are linked when found in a git commit message. No warning is displayed otherwise.
Example:
[commentLink "Jira"] match = (\\[[A-Z][A-Z]+-[1-9][0-9]*\\]) html = "<a href=\"http://jira.example.com/browse/$1\">$1</a>" association = SUGGESTED
Once a Git commit with a comment link is detected, the Jira issue ID is extracted and a new comment is added to the issue, pointing back to the original Git commit.
In order for Gerrit to connect to Jira/SOAP-API URL and credentials are required in your gerrit.config / secure.config under the [jira] section.
Example:
[jira] url=http://jira.example.com username=admin password=jirapass
Jira credentials and connectivity details are asked and verified during the Gerrit init.
It is possible to choose which kind of Gerrit event will trigger the plugin to comment on the Jira issue by adding the following in your gerrit.config file under the [jira] section:
commentOnChangeAbandoned : If true, abandoning a change adds a comment to the issue.
commentOnChangeCreated : If true, creating a change adds a comment to the issue.
commentOnChangeMerged : If true, merging a change adds a comment to the issue.
commentOnChangeRestored : If true, restoring an abandoned change adds a comment to the issue.
commentOnCommentAdded : If true, adding a comment or reviewing a change adds a comment to the issue.
commentOnFirstLinkedPatchSetCreated : If true, creating a patch set for a change adds a comment to the issue if the issue has not been mentioned in previous patch sets of the same change.
commentOnPatchSetCreated : If true, creating a patch set for a change adds a comment to the issue.
commentOnRefUpdatedGitWeb : If true, updating a ref adds a comment to the issue.
By default all parameters are set to true.
Example:
[jira] commentOnCommentAdded=false commentOnRefUpdatedGitWeb=false
The Jira plugin comes with a Gerrit init step that simplifies the initial configuration. It guides through the configuration of the Jira integration and checks the connectivity.
Gerrit init example:
*** Jira connectivity
***
Jira URL (empty to skip) [http://jira.example.com]:
Jira username [admin]:
Change admin's password [y/N]? y
admin's password : *****
confirm password : *****
Test connectivity to http://jira.example.com [y/N]: y
Checking Jira connectivity ... [OK]
*** Jira issue-tracking association
***
Jira issue-Id regex [([A-Z]+-[0-9]+)]:
Issue-id enforced in commit message [MANDATORY/?]: ?
Supported options are:
mandatory
suggested
optional
Issue-id enforced in commit message [MANDATORY/?]: suggested
When Gerrit gitweb is configured, an additional direct link from Jira to GitWeb will be created, pointing exactly to the Git commit ID containing the Jira issue ID.
Jira plugin is able to automate status transition on the issues based on code-review actions performed on Gerrit; actions are performed on Jira using the username/password provided during Gerrit init. Transition automation is driven by $GERRIT_SITE/etc/issue-state-transition.config file.
Syntax of the status transition configuration file is the following:
[action "<issue-status-action>"] change=<state-change-type> verified=<verified-value> code-review=<code-review-value>
<issue-status-action> : Action to be performed on the Jira issue when all the condition in the stanza are met.
<state-change-type> : Gerrit state change type on which the action will be triggered. Possible values are: created, commented, merged, abandoned, restored
<verified-value> : Verified label added on the Gerrit change with a value from -1 to +1
<code-review-value> : Code-Review label added on the Gerrit change with a value from -2 to +2
Note: multiple conditions in the action stanza are possible but at least one must be present.
Example:
[action "Start Progress"] change=created [action "Resolve Issue"] verified=+1 code-review=+2 [action "Close Issue"] change=merged [action "Stop Progress"] change=abandoned
The above example defines four status transitions on Jira, based on the following conditions:
