I am trigger a webhook in gitlab once Merge request is raised, where I call a jenkins job to do a build on the pulled code.
Now my requirement is I need to send the build status/jenkins console link back to gitlab, so the reviewer can easily see what the issue is in the code and reject/approve the MR.
I tried googling a lot but I am not able to find any solution.

I am trying to setup a pipeline job to trigger on a push from my bitbucket account.
I already did this once using a freestyle job with no issue.
but I cannot get the pipeline to trigger from the webhook
I see multiple similar questions but they are all outdated and none of the solutions seem to apply.
I see the webhook in the Jenkins log
when I check the bitbucket pull request webhook log it is empty.
I tried the trick of running the build the very first time with no success
I also tried with and without the pollSCM option on - but from the help txt it seems on is the correct settings with no schedule defined!
I have no Idea where to go from here ?
I have gone through numerous post on triggering Jenkins build when a PR is raised in github.
I have checked Git hub Pull Request Builder Option in jenkins job. Apart from above , I have added webhook and jenkins Github plugin as service in my repo.
How do I add status checks?
Anything else being missed here. I dont see build getting triggered when PR is raised.
I need to run a jenkins job when PR is created to my staging branch in github. The jenkins will run some test cases and return the results to github and after that only we can merge the PR to the staging branch.
I'm using GitHub pull request builder plugin in jenkins. But my job in jenkins is not getting triggered when PR is created. The webhook from github is show 200 status and its working to buid a jenkins job for github push.
I followed https://medium.com/#mreigen/integrate-jenkins-builds-into-github-pull-requests-33bc053d6210 steps.
Can anybody help me with This!
Check the Jenkins logs first.
For example, jenkinsci/ghprb-plugin issue 286 mentioned:
It looks like GitHub is sending the wrong kind of events.
The plugin only accepts pull_request and issue_comment events.
GitHub is sending a push event, so I am not sure but you might have configured the webhook using a different plugin?
Check your master config and make sure you are only telling the job triggers to use webhooks. Also, make sure you have checked the box in each job you want that says to build using webhooks.
Issue 603 involved the option "Use github hooks for build triggering", but mention an Hook URL issue.
I need to integrate Bitbucket with Jenkins. So that whenever a PR is opened it will trigger a build in Jenkins. Then commit status of the last commit in the PR will be updated as failed or success and this commit wont trigger the build again. (This works beautiful with Github but seems to be a nightmare for me with Bitbucket)
So far I did:
Installed Bitbucket pull request builder plugin.
Set everything up like its described in https://github.com/jenkinsci/bitbucket-pullrequest-builder-plugin#readme
User has write permissions to the repository (we added shh pub key to organization and its in the group that has write permissions)
Problems
Build is triggered over and over again for the same PR/commit
Commit status is not updated on bitbucket
Let me know if I can provide more information.
In my case, the Jenkins URL was set to http://jenkins:8080 and when such a URL was sent to BitBucket via their API, BitBucket returned the error "Invalid URL" (Look in Jenkins Logs: http://yourjenkins:8080/log/all) Which is not handled by the BitBucket Pull Request Builder plugin and thus kept continuously rebuilding all of our pull requests because it thought that build was not in progress. After setting Jenkins URL to http://jenkins.domain.tld:8080/ or http:///jenkins, the BitBucket API started accepting the URL and everything started to work.
But in your case it may be possible that some other error is the cause. You can check your Jenkins Error log to see the failure.
See the following issue: Build status notification fails with Enter a valid URL
I want to show user details of user who has triggered build on jenkns. I have integrated gitlab and jenkins and gitlab triggers the build on jenkins via web hook. We log in to gitlab through LDAP. Is there any way to show user details got from gitlab on Jenkins ???? Thanks in advance
At the moment, I don't believe this is possible. But it could be implemented.
In most cases where Jenkins jobs are triggered via Git webhook, the job itself is not triggered directly, but rather Jenkins is informed that for a given Git URI, there may have been changes.
Jenkins then polls Git for changes and, if something new was found, triggers a build of the jobs that use that repository. So at this point, various jobs just start, without receiving any special information about the webhook push that happened.
Also, a new build could have been triggered by multiple commits, from several different people, so it may not make sense to show a single person's name as being the one that triggered a build.
However, there are special implementations that understand the webhook payload format of different hosting services (e.g. GitHub, Bitbucket etc.).
Indeed, the GitLab Hook plugin looks like it does this: if you start a build via the /gitlab/build_now webhook endpoint, then on the build page, you'll see why the build started, e.g. "triggered by merge request feature -> develop" or "triggered by push on branch develop with 2 commits".
While it seems that part of the plugin does read an author's name from the payload (presumably for merge requests), this isn't currently shown on the build page.
So you could try implementing this or filing a feature request on the Jenkins plugin.
As a short term workaround, you can also look at the "Changes" page for each build. There you can see which commits were in that build, and the author names should be shown next to each one.
You may have to configure the "repository browser" under the Git section in the job configuration for this to work.
