Update issue status (JIRA) on project build (Bamboo)

[Vic D'Elfant]

Hi there,

We're migrating to JIRA in our organization and are also looking into using Bamboo for building the respective projects. One of the things we'd really like is having a "Waiting for build" status in JIRA, which automatically gets updated to "Closed" by Bamboo after a successful build (by using the issue keys linked using the commit logs). So we're pretty much looking for some trigger in the workflow which gets triggered by Bamboo upon successful builds.

The idea came from an entry in the JIRA Studio documentation found at http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRASTUDIO/Integrating+Builds+with+your+Issues+Workflow, but we have no idea whether this applies to the download version of JIRA/Bamboo as well.

Is this even possible, or should we file this as a feature request?

Hey Vic,

Currently, there is no tie-in between JIRA Workflow and Bamboo build status.

I can see how this feature is useful, if you're open to coding a plugin I have an suggestion on how to implement this.

For starters, you would need a issue status in JIRA called "Waiting for Build" or such. And you can author a postbuild plugin which upon successful build will transition a JIRA issue to Closed based on the JIRA Key committed during a commit comment. You can grab this data from the buildcontext object for the current build.

We have a Bamboo feature request open for closer JIRA workflow integration:

Feel free to add your feedback to this ticket.

Hi, I've also read the documentation on integrating builds with your issues workflow for ondemand, as it is exactly what we need to do. Is there any further progress on bamboo being able to tell jira if a build has passed or failed? I can see from the tickets, there hasn't been much activity in the last 6 or so months. Is it considerable rework for the functionality that works ondemand, to also work in the download version?

Has anyone been able to achieve this in another way? (I'm trying to avoid us needing to code something).

Thanks!

there is a hope still:https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Integrating+builds+with+your+issues+workflow

but I cannot figure it out :( bamboo simly does not fire any Jira transition :(. Create separate question on that: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/294789/jira-integrating-builds-with-your-issues-workflow-not-working-on-ondemand#
