How do i get TFS to trigger a jenkins build when a pull request is created? it would be a smoketest, to make sure everything works before merging with main.
You can use Team Foundation Server plugin for Jenkins. Integrate TFS as a git repository.
check the checkbox next to Enable Push Trigger for all jobs in the Jenkins global configuration

I am new to Jenkins. I have development code repository at bitbucket and another test script code repository at bitbucket. Now I have setup a Jenkins job by linking test code repository. Is there any way to trigger a build when code is pushed in develop repo?
I tried many times by pushing change in develop repo, but it does not triggers the jenkins job.
You can configure the Jenkins trigger as an SCM poll.
You will have to enter a cron expression for the polling time period, like:
*/5 * * * *
This means polling from 5 to 5 minutes. If any change is detected, then the build is triggered.
You can add the BitBucket Plugin to your Jenkins instance. It will allow you to configure a webhook in BitBucket that will then trigger any Jenkins job listening for that webhook. The plugin's page has a detailed breakdown, but the basics are;
In your repo in BitBucket, create a new Webhook using your Jenkins' url. I believe the url is generally http://[your jenkins url]/bitbucket-hook/
Make the trigger a repo push.
In your Jenkins job, check the box "Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket" under the Build Triggers section.
Now any time you commit to the repo you created the Webhook on, that Jenkins job will be run.
You can also limit what branches trigger commits by parameterizing your Jenkins build to ignore certain branches / keywords / etc if that's something you need for your specific project.
You can use webhooks to trigger build automatically. There are few options how to use it. See the following articles: this, this and this.
I tried to connect my Jenkins server to VSTS repo by following this Link.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/devops/2017/04/25/vsts-visual-studio-team-services-integration-with-jenkins/
However, the options are different from the tutorial.
There is no way to set a rule for Pull Request, which is what I am trying to do.
I set a new build definition to make the Jenkins build work on every commit, but doesn't work for Pull Request.
To queue Jenkins job for VSTS pull request build validation, you can follow below steps:
Create a job in Jenkins
First, you need to create a job in Jenkins. If you have already create, then skip this step.
Create and configure build definition for PR build validation
Seems you already created a build definition named Jenkins, then add
Jenkins Queue Job task.
If you didn’t configure your Jenkins as an endpoint in your VSTS project, you can click New button to specify server URL, username and password to login the Jenkins.
Then specify the Jenkins job for queuing.
Note: If your Jenkins setup as a local server (the url as http://localhost:8080), then you need to queue VSTS build by private agent which also located in the same machine.
Add build policy as the target branch policy
In the build policy, you can set the Trigger as Automatic, the Policy requirement as Required, and the Build expiration is Immediately.
Now when pull request is created or updated for merging into the target branch, VSTS build will be triggered immediately, and the Jenkins job will also be queued during VSTS build.
My work is running Jenkins and Bitbucket Server (so instead of the bitbucket cloud, they host their own bitbucket version). I am used to having passing/failing builds on github and bitbucket cloud immediately reporting back on PRs and branches as to whether the build passed or failed. I want to give that gift to my team in the current environment. How do I get PRs in Bitbucket server to receive success/failure of builds from Jenkins?
[Figure 1 just shows an example of the functionality I want, operational on PRs in github+codeship]
While the Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket can help notify Jenkins to poll whenever there is a commit, you still need to be mindful of the “lazy ref updates” in Bitbucket (described in this thread)
We had to implement something that would do a get to the REST API for the pull-request/*/changes before the call to the Jenkins /git/notifyCommit url.
The last Jenkins URL /git/notifyCommit comes from the Jenkins Git plugin.
See more at "Configuring Webhook To Jenkins for Bitbucket".
Once Jenkins is properly called, you can then, as mentioned in "Notify build status from Jenkins to Bitbucket Server", use the "Jenkins Stash Pullrequest Builder", from nemccarthy/stash-pullrequest-builder-plugin.
The bitbucket server has build-status API. It stores a build-status for particular commit, there is no separate PR build status. The PR build status is a build status of the head commit in this PR.
You can implement yourself the rest api call to update the build status or to use one of the existing plugins. We use Post Webhooks for Bitbucket bitbucket plugin in conjunction with Bitbucket Branch Source jenkins plugin.
You could you use BitBucket REST API to achieve this ?
Here the how-to update commits with the build status :
Updating build status for commits
Commit status are then shown in Pull Request and on branches
you can setup Stash notifier plugin , it workds perfectly with BitBucket and notifies build status to branch and pull request
I am using VSTS as my CI server and BitBucket as SCM tool. Now, what I want is really simple. Once any changes are pushed into BitBucket, I require the build to be triggered in VSTS. Is there anyway we can achieve this?
Appreciate any help.
There must have polling interval time to trigger VSTS build after pushing changes to your bitbucket repo. The shortest polling interval time is 60 seconds. That means the CI build will be triggered 1 minute later after pushing changes.
Detail settings for bitbucket repo CI build in VSTS as below:
Create a build definition in VSTS
select Remote repo in Get sources step
add connection for bitbucket repo
input bitbucket repo URL as Server Url
input bitbucket username and password
Ok
in Triggers Tab of VSTS build
enable Continuous Integration
set Polling interval (such as 60)
specify the branch for CI build on Branch Filters
add tasks you need to build
save.
Now when new changes are pushed to bitbucket repo, the VSTS build will be queued 1 minute later.
I have configure my Jenkins profile with BitBucket (Mercurial). Please see the configuration.
On Jenkins profile, changes displays correctly as per bitbucket check-in history.
Jenkins build confirms the success on new builds.
But, on Jenkins server work-space folder I don't see all changes that are supposed to be part of those check-ins
Wondering why is it sometimes missing to pull some changes part of check-in history.
You actually need to configure Bitbucket hook service (Project Settings).
This way, Bitbucket will notify your Jenkins server each repository changes on the targeted branch.
