Summary

This plugin iterates over a list of Atlassian JIRA issues and edit the defined field with a given value. The list of issues is defined by an line-based text file. It works for example together with the result of the task 'createChangelog' applied by 'SCM Version Plugin'

Usage

To use the JiraConnector plugin, include the following in your build script:

Groovy

build.gradle

plugins {
    id 'com.intershop.gradle.jiraconnector' version '6.0.0'
}

jiraConnector {
    server {
        baseURL = 'https://jira.host.com/jira'
        username = 'JIRAuser'
        password = 'secret'
    }

    linePattern = '3\\+.*'

    fieldName = 'Fixed Version/s'

    fieldValue = "${project.name}/${project.version}"

    versionMessage = 'version created by jiraconnector plugin'

    issueFile = tasks.createFile.outputs.files.singleFile
}

Kotlin

build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    id("com.intershop.gradle.jiraconnector") version "6.0.0"
}

jiraConnector {
    server {
        baseURL = "https://jira.host.com/jira"
        username = "JIRAuser"
        password = "secret"
    }

    linePattern = "3\\+.*"

    fieldName = "Fixed Version/s"

    fieldValue = "${project.name}/${project.version}"

    versionMessage = "version created by jiraconnector plugin"

    issueFile = tasks["createFile"].outputs.files.singleFile
}

This configuration add the field value ${project.name}/${project.version} to the field Fixed Version/s for Jira issues, which are listed in the issue file. If a Jira version is not available in the list, the version will be created, sorted and previous milestone versions will be merged to the new version if configured.

Tasks

The Jira connector plugin adds two tasks to the project.

Task name	Type	Description
correctVersionList	com.intershop.gradle.jiraconnector.task.CorrectVersionList	If the replacements list is configured, versions with component names ("component/<version>') are changed so that the component name is replaced according to the list. After this step, it sorts the list of Jira versions of a specified project. This task requires a parameter 'jiraProjectKey', this is the Jira project key for the version list (look for "versions" in the project configuration overview page).
setIssueField	com.intershop.gradle.jiraconnector.task.SetIssueField	The configured issue file will be parsed for issues and the configured field of these Jira issues will be updated with the configured information.

Example

This build file and command line will correct the version list of the projekt with key "PRJKEY".

build.gradle

plugins {
    id 'com.intershop.gradle.jiraconnector'
}

jiraConnector {
    jira {
        baseURL = 'https://jira.host.com/jira'
        username = 'JIRAuser'
        password = 'secret'
    }
    replacements = ['old_componentname_1':'new_name_1', 'old_componentname_2':'new_name_2']
}

command line

./gradlew correctVersionList --jiraProjectKey=PRJKEY

Project Extension 'jiraConnector'
