I want to configure Gitea and Jenkins, so Gitea would automatically merge pull requests upon successful build in Jenkins.
What's the least effort way to approach this?
You can use the Gitea API to merge a pull request, the API docs are here.
As the last step in Jenkins, call the Gitea API via curl to merge the PR.
For me the best solution was to use the Gitea Jenkins Plugin despite it is poor documented.
Some useful functions:
sync of structures/organazations/repositories
push webhooks
PRs from origin
PRs from forks

It should be generally available with this pull request

I have configured Bitbucket Server to work with Jenkins by enabling a Webhook in Bitbucket with the Jenkins URL and the event being - Pull request approved. So I want a build on Jenkins to be triggered when a pull request is approved by the named reviewer.
The Jenkins job is configured to be triggered remotely using a token and that token is specified in the Bitbucket Webhook along with the Jenkins URL. This is working as expected. The Jenkins job is triggered automatically as soon as the pull request is approved by the reviewer.
But, I have also configured a merge check for the project . The merge check is enabled for minimum successful builds and the number of builds to be successful is configured to be 1. So, I expect the merge button to be enabled as the reviewer has approved the pull request and the Jenkins build has run (also success). But unfortunately, the merge button is not enabled even after all this. I also triggered a build manually on the same commit ( was success too ) but with no success on the merge button being enabled. Please help me out. Thanks.
I had the same problem and here are the steps of how I fixed it.
Use Bitbucket and not Git as the source code management. But, Bitbucket seems to be only avaiable when creating a Multibranch Pipeline.
Now, that you use Bitbucket, install plugin Bitbucket Branch Source Plugin
Bitbucket appears to get the result of the build from Bitbucket Branch Source plugin
The plugin requires some configuration, this webpage helped me a lot.
We had the same problem, if in your case you have at least one failed build before the succesfull one, then you will not be able to merge until you push a new code to the PR branch. This answer comes after discussing it with Bitbucket's support team.
I've started lately to use Jenkins and i need some help with creating a pipeline.
I want to create the following pipeline:
For each merge request from develop to master in Gitlab, Trigger a Jenkins job that run an end-to-end test, And merge the branches in Gitlab only if the test succeeded.
I have found the following article that gives me an explanation for most of the things that i need:
https://vetlugin.wordpress.com/2017/01/31/guide-jenkins-pipeline-merge-requests/
I'm still looking for an answer for one question:
How can Jenkins response to Gitlab with the result of the end-to-end test (Success/Fail), So Gitlab will know whether to merge to branches or not?
Please advise,
Thanks!
You do not tell us how Gitlab and Jenkins are connected, but I'll assume you use the Jenkins Gitlab plugin https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin. If you're not, maybe you should :)
With this plugin, you can 'integrate' more deeply Jenkins and Gitlab, and your Jenkins builds will send back to Gitlab the result of the build. You will see something like this https://raw.githubusercontent.com/teeks99/gitlab-plugin-wiki-images/master/Setup_Example_img/Result_commit.png. Build results are marked near the commit which has been tested.
In this case, for each merge request, you can check the "Merge if build succeed" button (see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/teeks99/gitlab-plugin-wiki-images/master/Setup_Example_img/Merge_progress.png) to auto merge the code when build is successful.
Look at the Jenkins Gitlab plugin README for more information and advanced setup, like test in your build the result of the merge, etc.
So Gitlab will know whether to merge to branches or not?
GitLab itself does not have to be aware of this test result to, on its own decide to merge or not.
Your Jenkins job should, it the test is successful, call the right GitLab API
in order to accept the MR (Merge Request).
I am using Gitlab 'Merge Request events' webhook to start sonar scanner in Jenkins job, once the scan is complete, scan results are posted in Gitlab against that merge request.
Is it possible to close that merge request automatically if there are blocker issues reported by sonar scan?
You can see an example of a Sonar plugin calling GitLab API with gabriel-allaigre/sonar-gitlab-plugin (also visible on GitHub). But, as mentioned here, it would not support merge-request API call for now.
The other approach is through the JENKINS GitLab Plugin, to trigger Jenkins builds when code is pushed or a merge request is created. With that plugin, stopped buildings close merge requests. Combine it with SonarQubeCommunity/sonar-build-breaker.
I'd like to configure bitbutcket to trigger a jenkins build.
I've spent some time researching this and all the answers are from a few years ago, and have not found any guides because things seem to have changed since.
What I'm trying to do:
A bitbucket push to a particular branch triggers a build.
What I've got:
Bitbucket web hooks which fires HTTP request to Jenkins on a push to any branch. I've also installed the Bitbucket plugin on Jenkins which adds a check box in the job config Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket. This checkbox doesnt seem to work (maybe I set it up wrong? minimal docs for this), despite me pushing to the configured branch in the SCM section.
Problem 1: Bitbucket does not fire a GET, but another request which causes a 403. I tested with postman, and it works with a GET, but not a POST.
Problem 2: This HTTP build request is fired on pushes to any branch. While the build is still restricted to a particular branch, it seems unnecessary to be rebuilding all the time.
How do i address these issues? Bitbucket does not seem to be very flexible in customizing this. The Jenkins plugin for bitbucket has a lot of 'bad' reviews. How are developers currently doing this?
SPECIFIC solution for Jenkins CI server--Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket plugin has been commercialized in latest version of Bit-Bucket and the current price is around $4800 which was earlier a free offering, because of this, guys who want to save their bucks, can go to the alternative solution by using webhooks feature of bit-bucket:-
Steps to create a webhook:-
BitBucket Side
1) Go to your bitbucket repo, click on Repository Setting, under WORKFLOW got for WEBHOOKS option and create a webhook.
a) creation of webhook:- URL https://JenkinsserverURL/git/notifyCommit?url=https://bitbucket.repository-link/repository.git
b) In the name tab, give any name of your choice
c) click on TEST CONNECTION before saving it. Make sure you get http status 200
d) View details your logs, check your request and response is correct.
Things to take care of from
Jenkins Side:-
1) Make sure repository mentioned in bitbucket webhook is used in Jenkins job.
2) In SCM option, activate/select Poll SCM option, don't mention anything in the schedule, leave it blank.
3) configure rest job,
Whenever your git repo observes any change an automatic build will get triggered in Jenkins. By default push trigger is activated and if you want to activate other action, please select those events while creating webhook.
***to specify the branch in repository webhook:-
http://yourserver/git/notifyCommit?url=<URL of the Git repository>[&branches=branch1[,branch2]*][&sha1=<commit ID>]
Cheers,
Is your Jenkins URL accessible from your bitbucket server? If yes that it should be fairly simple to do it. You add the webhook in your repository as http://<url-of-jenkins>/git/notifyCommit?url=<url-of-repository>. When jenkins receives this POST, it automatically triggers builds on those jobs that use this git repo with that URL you give in webhook.
But you also need to make sure your Build Schedule is set to empty for those jobs. otherwise it wont get triggered. You can specify a branch in webhook URL too
See the Push Notification from repository here
https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin
For anyone here after July 2022, here are the simple steps I followed to make it work.
Create a live Jenkins URL
First, create a tunnel from a live URL to your local Jenkins URL using ngrok because using locahost:8080 directly as your webhook URL on bitbucket will simply not work as bitbucket does not recognize your local computer.
ps: ngrok claims to be the fastest way to put anything on the internet and I agree,
you can use it beyond Jenkins once you know the trick,
such as quickly handling out your localhost react app for testing by your friends
out of your local network
To do this is simple. For Linux:
Install ngrok snap install ngrok
Add authtoken ngrok config add-authtoken <token>
Don't have an auth token, sign up
Start a tunnel on your Jenkins port eg ngrok http 8080
To know more and for other OS, check ngrok download page
You will then get a response like
ngrok (Ctrl+C to quit)
Hello World! https://ngrok.com/next-generation
Session Status online
Account <your email>#<domain>.com (Plan: <plan type>)
Version 3.0.6
Region Europe (eu)
Latency 162ms
Web Interface <web interface url>
Forwarding https://<your-assigned-host>.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:8080
Basically, the web interface URL on click gives you a web interface to inspect all the requests being tunnelled from your ngrok live URL to your local host.
Forwarding URL is basically a proxy to your localhost, so when you want to configure webhook, instead of using locahost:8080, you replace it with ngrok URL eg https://syue-162-34-12-01.eu.ngrok.io and all requests get tunnelled to localhost:8080
Hook up the URL on bitbucket cloud
Secondly, configure your Bitbucket repository with a Webhook, using URL JENKINS_URL/bitbucket-hook/ (no need for credentials but do remember the trailing slash) eg https://syue-162-34-12-01.eu.ngrok.io/bitbucket-hook/
If you are using bitbucket server and not cloud or you want to know more, the bitbucket plugin documentation for Jenkins is pretty straightforward and easily understandable, see bitbucket plugin
then you can inspect all your webhook requests on the web interface URL or via your terminal as well as check your build logs on Jenkins via your localhost port or ngrok live url.
Disclaimer: I have not figured out how to enable build only when a specific branch change but you can configure jenkins to only build a specific branch or any branch created as your need may demand, check Source Code Management and Build Triggers
I looked at all other related questions and answers, didn't find anything solid, hence I'm opening a new question to look for your kind help, I've been working on this the whole day, any help I can get would be highly appreciated.
Here's my environment:
self-hosted jenkins server (Jenkins ver. 1.651.3) with git and bitbucket plugin installed.
https://bitbucket.org (I do not have a self-hosted bitbucket server)
What I want to do: to trigger jenkins build upon pull request got merged from feature branch to master branch.
Different setting combinations which I had tried:
jenkins: 'Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket' checked.
bitbucket: web hooks trigger: 'Repository push' checked.
Result: build was triggered successfully upon commit to master branch, but that's not what I want, but at least I know the communication between my jenkins server and bitbucket is fine.
jenkins: 'Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket' checked.
bitbucket: web hooks trigger: 'Repository push' checked, and Pull Request - 'Merged' checked.
Result: jenkins does not respond to the pull request merged action. I assumed it would work since I had the Pull Requst - 'Merged' checked in the web hooks trigger setting, and I did see the request was sent by bitbucket to my jenkins server, and it got 200 status code back from my jenkins server, but still, nothing happens.
jenkins: 'Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket' checked. And besides that, I installed another plugin called bitbucket-pullrequest-builder-plugin, and configured it according to the instruction.
bitbucket: web hooks trigger: 'Repository push' checked, and Pull Request - 'Merged' checked.
Result: with the help of bitbucket-pullrequest-builder-plugin, the build was indeed triggered upon pull request created. But the jenkins server polls the bitbucket repository constantly, and I didn't find a way to stop that, no way to trigger build ONLY upon merge neither...
I heard there's people says that you'll need to install a post-hook plugin on the bitbucket server in order to do what I want to do, but the thing is I dont host the bitbucket...
Based on some research you can have a few options as of today Nov 12 of 2017:
Use the generic post webhooks plugin that supports pull request trigger. And from jenkins pick it up with the generic webhooks plugin, then maybe do a secondary trigger from jenkins.
Upgrade the bitbucket server and webhooks to jenkins plugin. The server 4.13 does not work well with later webhooks to jenkins plugin. A paid version of the plugin probably is your best choice.
Or try bamboo that comes with the "plan banches" feature.
When you configure GIT - push, commit... etc hooks, be sure to check the JENKINS git selection, and set the BRANCH to check for (** specifies all branches) and most importantly,
USE localtunnel.me or similar to set your JENKINS online or it won't work.
