Outgoing webhook integration for Rocket.Chat that summarizes any JIRA issues mentioned

Example

Running

You can run rocketchat-jira-trigger either natively (requires at JDK 8 to build and JRE 8 to run) or with Docker.

Natively

First download the source code and run:

Build on Linux/OS X

./gradlew installDist

Build on Windows

gradlew.bat installDist

The app will be located in build/install. Now run the start script with a configuration file (if you have one) as the only argument:

Run on Linux/OS X

bin/rocketchat-jira-trigger config.toml

Run on Windows

bin\rocketchat-jira-trigger.bat config.toml

With Docker

Use the Docker cli to mount a config file (if you have one) as volume /app/config.toml and set up port mapping for port 4567:

docker run -v $(pwd)/config.toml:/app/config.toml -p 4567:4567 --rm -it gustavkarlsson/rocketchat-jira-trigger:latest

Configuration

To get started you only need to configure the URI of your JIRA server and some user credentials (unless anonymous access is allowed). There are two ways to configure the application:

Configuration file

Create a file with the .toml extension and set it up like this:

[jira]
uri = "https://jira.mycompany.com"
username = "someuser"
password = "somepassword"

Environment variables

Environment variables should follow the pattern: <section>_<key>. Compare these examples with the above config file example to see the similarity:

Configuring environment variables on Linux/OS X

export jira_uri="https://jira.mycompany.com"
export jira_username="someuser"
export jira_password="somepassword"

Configuring environment variables on Windows

setx jira_uri "https://jira.mycompany.com"
setx jira_username "someuser"
setx jira_password "somepassword"

For lists of values, use a comma as a separator:

assignee,status,reporter,priority

Reference

For a list of all configuration settings, check out the defaults.

Passwords

If you don't want to store your password in a file or environment variable, then leave it out and you will be prompted to enter it when running the app.

Usage

In Rocket.Chat, set up an outgoing webhook pointing at the server on port 4567. Example: http://server.mycompany.com:4567/ and write a message containing a known JIRA issue to try it out. Example: Let's check out SUP-1234

Rocket.Chat should reply with details about the JIRA issue.

Troubleshooting

If your messages aren't getting any replies, first check the logs of Rocket.Chat and rocketchat-jira-trigger.

HTTP 403 errors

If you're getting HTTP 403 errors, it might be because CAPTCHA is enabled on your JIRA server and it wants you to manually re-authenticate. In that case, log out of JIRA in your browser and then log in again.

If you're still having trouble, feel free to create an issue explaining your problem.

Connection refused when using Docker

When using Docker, you must NOT override the app port in the configuration file. The Docker image is configured to only export export port 4567. You can change what port the container should listen to with the -p option.
