I have been looking for a while now for a way to trigger a Jenkins job from the status or a ticket/story in Jira changing status. To give a more detailed example when my team moves a ticket to the 'ready for test' column we would like to be able to trigger a sanity test pack in Jenkins, the ideal situation would then be that we are able to post the results (generated as a html) as a comment on the ticket within Jira. Failing that we would like to be able to publish the results as simply pass/fail.
I have recently been looking at the Jenkins Jira plugin but this does not seem to have the functionality to work both ways, in other words it can post results after a job has run but you cannot trigger the job from a change of status in Jira. Is there any such plugin available or is it something that we will need to create ourselves?
Cheers in advance
So, basicly there are webhooks in jira (https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-architecture/webhooks). With it you can configure it to trigger specific url on issue status change. The specific url should be jenkins API, for example for triggering a build you should call an external url like (if you are building with parameters): http://server/job/myjob/buildWithParameters?token=TOKEN&PARAMETER=Value
Some more info https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API
I have written a Jenkins plugin that supports JIRA status change trigger: jira-trigger-plugin.
This plugin also injects an environment variable of JIRA_ISSUE_KEY, so you can utilise this information to publish your result back to JIRA e.g. using REST API.
Please follow as mentioned below:
GIT:
You can set the web hooks for git/ bitbucket /stash on commit which inturn should change the state of task in JIRA.
JIRA:
Once you in JIRA. define the workflow for your task.
In this particular workflow you can set a post-function where the web hook should be configured. In this configuration of webhook in events define JQL as below:
status CHANGED FROM "To Do" TO "ready to test".
In the same mention the job that needs to be fired in the URL section.
You can look through webhooks in Jira :
https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/manage-webhooks/
You also need to add the Generic Webhook Trigger plugin to your Jenkins :
https://plugins.jenkins.io/generic-webhook-trigger/
You can find here an example on how to use the Generic Webhook Trigger plugin with Bitbucket Github and Gitlab. https://github.com/jenkinsci/generic-webhook-trigger-plugin/tree/master/src/test/resources/org/jenkinsci/plugins/gwt/bdd
It involved multiple steps
If you are using Git/Stash/BitBucket (which i implemented),
You can simply
configure the commit hooks in your Stash/Bitbucket
Attach events to your JIRA workflow
Jenkins JOB - post build events - configure Notify
Stash plugin Set the Poll SCM
That's it

Currently I have a CI/CD using jenkins and gerrit. I already have the jenkins and gerrit communicating using the Gerrit Trigger Plugin. I am able to increase and decrease labels like the Code-Review one and I am also able to send comments to gerrit. To configure this I use the following UI's:
I want to know if there is a way to add some file to that comments. Because I have a few tests running in the pipeline. In the end a report file is created and I would like to added it to the comments in the gerrit change that trigerred the build.
I know that one easier solution would be just store the report has a artifactory and then pass the link to the artifactory in the message.
Other stuff that might be important:
Jenkins v2.375.2
Gerrit v3.7.0
Gerrit Trigger Plugin v2.38.1
Gerrit Code Review Plugin v0.4.7
This is basically what I have:

I tried to use the following command in my Jenkinsfile.
stage('Test'){
steps {
gerritComment(path: "./report", message: "This is a sample comment.")
}
}
Gerrit returns me Method not allowed.
Hoping to gather insight from professionals. My end goal is to trigger a jenkins build whenever a bitbucket pull request happens. If anyone could give me an ELI5(explain like I am 5) answer it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this is the wrong format, I am new to jenkins and stackoverflow.
What I have done so far:
Created webhook in bitbucket and gave the url to my jenkins job. example: http://jenkinsURL:8080/job/boulevard-dev/generic-webhook-trigger/invoke?token=myPull_Request_Token
Pull request webhook trigger
In Jenkins, under source code management I have: Source Code Management Settings. This is currently fetching a ton of branches, failing, then building the master branch when the job starts?
For build triggers, other stackoverflow articles have pointed me to the "Generic Webhook Trigger". https://github.com/jenkinsci/generic-webhook-trigger-plugin
I am not entirely sure how this generic webhook trigger should effectively be setup? Hoping someone has experience using it and could explain what is needed.
This is what have seen referenced in other articles.Build Triggers settings Build triggers settings 2
Questions:
What does a correct setup / example of the generic webhook trigger look like?
Currently, my job triggers when a change is made to master or merged to master, how can I specify to my job that I want the bitbucket pull request branch to be built?
Also, I found this, not sure if its related to my issue or not? https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-5814
As per your requirement, you can trigger a Jenkins build whenever a bitbucket pull request happens by following the below steps, in my case, it's working fine.
Step(1) - Configure Jenkins
(i) Add your bitBucket repo and branch to source code management
(ii) On build Triggers setup Poll SCM to * * * * * for run every minute to check pull request from bitBucket.
Step(2) - configure Bit Bucket Hook
(i) Go to settings and add a new hook, now setup pull request trigger as per your requirement.
Step(3) - Make a pull request and see the new job automatically triggered on Jenkins.
I'm using Post Webhooks for Bitbucket plugin to trigger pull request event.
I enabled below options:
"Pull request created"
"Pull request re-scoped"
It works find when I create a push request.
A new requirement is I wish when comment a pull request with specified info like "run this again", to trigger the jobs run, I've seen these is option:
"Pull request commented"
but I don't know how to use it.
I searched but didn't find any useful docs.
Anyone can help to give a link or an example?
I know of two solutions to this.
Solution 1
Use the webhooks that comes with Bitbucket Server. I think it was introduced in Bitbucket Server 5.4.
Use Generic Webhook Trigger Plugin in Jenkins to consume the webhook JSON. This plugin is documented on how to create filters with regexp to only trigger for some specific conditions.
Soltuion 2
Use Pull Request Notifier for Bitbucket Server plugin in Bitbucket Server. To trigger Jenkins.
Create an ordinary, no plugins needed, parameterized job in Jenkins and trigger it with the Bitbucket Server plugin.
we have jenkins CICD automated pipelines working great. we also trigger it via REST API with build Parameters.
Now, we have JIRA dashboard having custom workflow created where developers moves or changes queue of issues/stories to "ReadyForDeployment" once development is completed.
Now here, once developer moves queue to "ReadyForDeployment" :-
JIRA should prompt for 3 fields (ENV, PACKAGE_NAME_APP and
PACKAGE_NAME_DB) those will be placed in jenkins URL like
blahblahblah/buildWithParameters?ENV=${ENV}& PACKAGE_NAME_APP=${PACKAGE_NAME_APP}&PACKAGE_NAME_DB=${PACKAGE_NAME_DB}
Basically upon queue change,webhook should be triggered whcih
will take input/parameters from JIRA itself.
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
It depends on your requirement whether its correct or not. But it can be possible to trigger jenkins from Jira useing Jira-weebhook and passing the parameters.

I was trying to get an SVN, Jenkins and Jira integration going. The aim being to change the status of a ticket/issue to 'Fixed' when it is referred to in an SCM comment. The process being orchestrated by Jenkins. The flow details are
developer puts in the Jira ticket number (MDP-1) on an SVN commit
message.
The build is kicked off in JenkinsJenkins (using the Jira
plugin) can figure out the Jira ticket referred to it in the SVN
commit message. It updates the Jira ticket by putting in a Jira
comment.
So far, this is working great!
Now, I also want to change
the status of the ticket to 'fixed'. I am trying to use the Jenkins
step (Progress jenkins issues by workflow action). I am unable to
access the Jira issue ID/ticket number.
I know, under the hood, the Jira plugin has access to this. Thats why it is able to put in a comment to the Jira ticket in the first case. Question is how/what variable do I use to get access to this Jira ticket# in Jenkins
I actually got this working with another Jenkins plugin (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jira-Ext+Plugin).
This captures the Jira issue_id(s) captured in the SCM commit message and exposes them in an environment variable.
Just what I was looking for!
