This plugin allows to associate Jira issues to Git commits.
It can be configured per project whether the Jira integration is enabled or not. To enable the Jira integration for a project the project must have the following entry in its project.config file in the refs/meta/config branch:
[plugin "its-jira"]
enabled = true
If plugin.its-jira.enabled is not specified in the project.config file the value is inherited from the parent project. If it is also not set on any parent project the Jira integration is disabled for this project.
By setting plugin.its-jira.enabled to true in the project.config of the All-Projects project the Jira integration can be enabled by default for all projects. During the initialization of the plugin you are asked if the Jira integration should be enabled by default for all projects and if yes this setting in the project.config of the All-Projects project is done automatically.
If child projects must not be allowed to disable the Jira integration a project can enforce the Jira integration for all child projects by setting plugin.its-jira.enabled to enforced.
On the project info screen there is a dropdown list for the plugin.its-jira.enabled parameter which offers the values true, false, enforced and INHERIT. Project owners can change this parameter and save it. If the Jira integration is enforced by a parent project the dropdown list is disabled.
The Jira integration can be limited to specific branches by setting plugin.its-jira.branch. The branches may be configured using explicit branch names, ref patterns, or regular expressions. Multiple branches may be specified.
E.g. to limit the Jira integration to the master branch and all stable branches the following could be configured:
[plugin "its-jira"]
enabled = true
branch = refs/heads/master
branch = ^refs/heads/stable-.*
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 "its-jira"] match = ([A-Z]+-[0-9]+) html = "<a href=\"http://jira.example.com/browse/$1\">$1</a>" association = SUGGESTED
In order for Gerrit to connect to Jira/SOAP-API URL and credentials are required in your gerrit.config / secure.config under the [its-jira] section.
Example:
[its-jira] url=http://jira.example.com username=admin password=jirapass
Jira credentials and connectivity details are asked and verified during the Gerrit init.
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 Integration
***
Issue tracker integration for all projects? [DISABLED/?]: enabled
Branches for which the issue tracker integration should be enabled (ref, ref pattern or regular expression) [refs/heads/*]:
*** 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
