JIRA links from Crucible/Fisheye?

[Michael Roff]

HI,

I thought that in Crucible / Fisheye, whenever there was a reference to a JIRA Issue, it should be a link which you can click on and thus open that JIRA issue.

Is that right?

If it is, then I have a problem as my crucible implementation is not supporting links through to JIRA.

Application Links are all correct in both JIRA and Crucible. Any ideas what might be the problem?

Thanks - Mick

Hi Mick,

You are correct - issue links should be hyperlinked to JIRA and you should be able to see information about these issues. You will need to ensure that you repository has an application link defined to the JIRA project, as well as the Crucible project.

Cheers,

Seb

Thanks Seb.

When you talk about having an application link defined for the JIRA project and the Crucible project, what do you mean exactly?

I have application links between crucible and JIRA ... but I have not done anything specific between projects within either tool. Can you provide some doco on how to do this?

Thanks - Mick

Absolutely - sorry about that. Have a look at the following two documentation articles:

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/Adding+Project+Links+between+Applications

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CRUCIBLE/Adding+Project+Links+between+Applications

You will need to follow both links to setup links between a repository and project to JIRA respectively.

Thanks Seb.

I have followed the instructions and the links are working now. Thanks for the info.

One question though, why are these application links required? Is it to minimise the search involved to find a corresponding link? It just seems that with application links enabled, Crucible should be able to "hunt down" the appropriate link - I guess this doesn't account for duplicate JIRA ID's in different JIRA systems.
