GitLab and Jira
integration
What is Jira?
Jira is a
software application used for issue tracking and project management. The tool,
developed by the Australian software company Atlassian, has become widely used
by agile development teams to track bugs, stories, epics, and other tasks.
Integration Options :
There are
two ways to integrate Jira into Gitlab. You may configure both ways – I have
before, but which you choose will entirely depend on how you want your
Integration to work and where you want to set up the Integration.
The first
Integration is set up in Jira using its DVCS Accounts page. This will allow you
to use the Developer Panel in your issues and enable you to use Smart Commits
to perform actions within your Jira instance. An important caveat that none of
the documents mention is for this to work, your Repos on Gitlab must be under
groups and not users. Ask me how long that took me to figure out.
The Second
Integration is set up within Gitlab. This will enable Gitlab to post a comment
on Jira issues whenever an Issue ID is posted in any commit, merge request or
branch name.
Gitlab’s Jira Integration.
To access
it, as an Admin on Gitlab, you need to go to Menu -> Admin -> Settings
-> Integrations. Then under “Add an integration,” Find Jira and click on it.
In the
GitLab integration setup for Jira, click "enable Jira issues."
Add your
proejct key into the GitLab integration setup for Jira.
On this
page, first click on “Enable Integration.” Then you will select where you want
it to trigger from – either comments or merge requests. This will be where it
searches for Issue IDs to run the Integration from.
Then select
“Enable Comments,” then select how much detail you want in the comments it
generates.
Give your
jira URL in Web Url section and
Enter your Username in Username and
Email Section
And Enter API Tocken
For API
Tocken you first of all you need to create api tocken in jira
So lets move
on the JIRA
Steps :->
Click : “Profile” => “Manage your account” => “Security”
And then
click on Api Tocken I will
Screenshot below
Now After
Creating API Tocken , give api
tocken in GitLab
After Adding
API Tocken Click Test Setting Then
Your Integraction Part is Successful.
You need to
create Board in Jira it’s very simple.
After
creating board you need to check your
integration go to your Git Repository upload your folder or file then do commit for
changes in got repository
And you can
got a comment in jira Software Like this:
Troubleshooting:-
If these
features do not work as expected, it is likely due to a problem with the way
the integration settings were configured.
GitLab is unable to comment on a Jira
issue
Make sure
that the Jira user you set up for the integration has the correct access
permission to post comments on a Jira issue and also to transition the issue,
if you’d like GitLab to also be able to do so. Jira issue references and update
comments will not work if the GitLab issue tracker is disabled.
GitLab is unable to close a Jira
issue
Make sure
the Transition ID you set within the Jira settings matches the one your project
needs to close an issue. Make sure that the Jira issue is not already marked as
resolved; that is, the Jira issue resolution field is not set. (It should not
be struck through in Jira lists.)
Conclusion
GitLab helps
teams ship software faster with technology integration options, such as the
integration with Jira, that automate tasks, provide visibility into development
progress and the greater end-to-end software lifecycle. We recognize that many
companies use Jira for Agile project management and our seamless integration
brings Jira together with GitLab.
