I'm building a Continous Integration environment with Jira, Jenkins and GitLab. One of the things I need is that every time an issue is created in Jira, a branch is created in Gitlab, with the same name as the issue of Jira, using a job by Jenkins.
Using the Jira trigger Plugin for Jenkins I get that every time an issue is created, the job is launched to create the branch, but what I can not do is read the name of the issue from the jira trigger to name the gitlab branch. Do you know what I can do?
I solved it using the JIRA_ISSUE_KEY variable that it's sent to Jenkins.

We are allowing customers to manage infrastructure using Jenkins by specifying configuration in GitHub; when the configuration is merged to master a deployment pipeline runs to reconcile the configuration.
If there is an issue with the pipeline we want to raise this by creating an issue in GitHub describing what went wrong and allowing customers to comment /apply to rerun the pipeline. We are currently able to trigger the pipeline with PR comments (after ticking the Issue comments box in our webhook configuration) but issue comments are not being picked up.
Is it possible to trigger a pipeline on issue comments in Jenkins?
Jenkins version: 2.219
I'm trying to configure webhook between Jenkins and Bit bucket for a particular branch.
After this, Jenkins job should start if any changes happen in that specific branch, but the first job is triggering when changes happen for any branch.
After that, webhook is working as expected. It will create a problem to copy the existing job as new and forget to check the job trigger.
Is there anyone who faced any issues like this or am I doing any wrong configuration to setup webhook?
By using this Bitbucket Plugin you can specify the branch name as an option in your job configuration.
I have Jenkins Mutibranch pipeline. I want to integrate my Jira with one of multibranch project. I have installed the JIRA Trigger Plugin and configured Webhook in Jira. however, when I checked in my Jenkins job it does not show me the B***uild when an issue is updated in JIRA*** but it shows when I go to View Configuration in the particular branch. it allows me to select the Build when an issue is updated in JIRA but there is no option to save the changes. I know this might be a reason the option is view only. but how can I configure this?
Is anyone configured JIRA Trigger Plugin with Jenkins mutibranch project where using Jenkinsfile? and what is the correct way of integrating this?
Should I do some coding in the Jenkins file to get this done?
I want to integrate Jenkins with JIRA Cloud.
I want Jenkins to start build job when i'm updating Issue Status in JIRA.
example: when the issue in jira is going from status IN PROGRESS to DEV COMPLETED, I want Jenkis to start a build.

Usually the flow is a little bit different.
After you done with the development you should add JIRA ticket number in commit.
Then create pull request (if you use Git as VCS) and merge it to main branch.
Git server will trigger build on the Jenkins side (you should find Jenkins plugin for your case).
After build is done there Jenkins can send update status to Jira (via Jenkins JIRA plugin
There are some variations. For example you want to allow merge only when build on Jenkins was successful. In this case JIRA update should be performed by Git service.
Thank you for your fast response, but we got different situation than the given answer. I will try to explain clearly.
1. we got Jira on cloud that successfully communicate with Gitlab. (there is a build in jenkins after commit in Jira)
2. and we got one test Jenkins on our local machine
Jira is configured in Jenkins and we got all needed plugins in Jenkins.
Now we want, with every changed status on the issue in Jira (from IN PROGRESS to DEV COMPLETED), Jenkins to make an automatic build on the job.
Additionaly, Is there any Jenkins Plugin for Jira CLOUD that could help us?
At this time, there is no Jenkins plugin / add-on for JIRA cloud, even though it is in high demand. It is rumored there may be one coming out in November / December 2017 as a beta.
If you are using Bitbucket, I'd recommend checking out Pipelines. Or, take a look at Bamboo or TeamCity as these tools integrate directly with JIRA Software Cloud.
I am migrating my old Jenkins free-style job to multi-branch pipeline. I also want to use GitLab hook with them.
My problem is the branch detection. I am doing it manually but I want it to be automatic: when a new branch is pushed to git, GitLab trigger a Jenkins job that trigger the branch detection if the branch parameter from GitLab is not known for Jenkins at the moment. Is this possible to do it or doesn't this exist?
FYI: I tried to launch the multi-branch pipeline job but Jenkins says:
ERROR: No parameterized job named XXX found.
Enable "Build Periodcally" in your multibranch job configuration and the branch indexing will automatically started.
What you really need is a branch source plugin for GitLab with webhook integration, which is tracked as an RFE in JIRA.
Failing that, use a plain Git branch source and configure GitLab to send Jenkins notifications to /git/notifyCommit (IIRC) as documented on the Git plugin wiki. Need specify only a url, no other details. The branch indexing this triggers should both detect new or removed branches, and changes to the head of an existing branch, and schedule builds accordingly.
You can set webhook in GitLab for push events and URL like http://<yourserver>/git/notifyCommit?url=<URL of the Git repository>.
See https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin#GitPlugin-Pushnotificationfromrepository
GitLab notifies Jenkins on push events which should trigger branch detection also for multibranch pipeline.
I didn't receive the answer I wanted and I ran into this issue today that answered the question :
https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin/issues/298
TLDR: Multi-branch pipeline are not supported yet to be triggered by gitlab commit easily. There is a workaround. Look at the link above.
