When Bamboo's JIRA integration plugin is enabled, Bamboo can provide greater visibility of the issue tracking cycle by automatically linking JIRA issues (in commit messages) to Bamboo builds.
- In JIRA 3.7 and later, Bamboo will display issue numbers and issue details, and create links to each JIRA issue.
- In JIRA 3.6 and below, Bamboo will display issue numbers and create links to each JIRA issue.
Note that this will require your Bamboo server to login to your JIRA server, regardless of whether your JIRA server is running in 'public' or 'private' mode.
To enable the JIRA integration plugin,
- Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
- Click the 'JIRA Server' link in the left navigation column.
- In the 'Host URL' field, type the URL address of your JIRA server (e.g. 'http://jira.atlassian.com').
- In the 'Username' field, type the name of the JIRA account which your Bamboo server will use to login to your JIRA server.
This JIRA account does not require JIRA administration permission.
- In the 'Password' field, type the corresponding password for the JIRA account you specified in step 4.
- (Only perform steps 6 and 7 if you are running JIRA 3.7 or later) In the 'Test' section, type a JIRA issue key in the 'Issue Key' field (e.g. 'BAM-738').
- Click the 'Test' button. This should display the following message: 'Successfully retrieved JIRA issue from remote server'. If not, check that you can login to your JIRA server using the JIRA account and password you specified in steps 4 and 5.
- When the test is successful, click the 'Save' button.
