Overview

This is a plugin for Atlassian JIRA issue tracking system.

Features

• Simple authentication support for JIRA
• Outputs some of the issue details in the channels not just links
• Optional per-channel configuration of issue message format

Setup

• Set up JIRA_BASE_URL env variable to your JIRA server URL. For example https://issues.jenkins-ci.org
• Set up JIRA_USER env variable to JIRA username for the bot account
• Set up JIRA_PASS env variable to JIRA password for the bot account

In addition to the above channel-specific configuration variables can be defined in a separate JSON configuration file loaded from path specified by environment variable JIRA_CONFIG_FILE. Example file can be seen in example_config.json. It is an array of channel configurations with each configuration having:

• channel for which the configuration is intended
• template to override default issue template (see Issue Formatting)
• templateNew to override default issue template for new issue notifications
• templateResolved to override default issue template for resolved issue notifications
• notifyNew is array of JIRA project keys to watch for new issues
• notifyResolved is array JIRA project keys to watch for resolved issues

Issue Formatting

By default the plugin will output issues in the following format:

<key> (<assignee>, <status>): <summary> - <url>

To see which values are available for use in templates see go-jira.

The format used is go template notation on the issue object. If you want to just post URL to the issue itself you can configure it by setting the template to {{.Self}} for given channel in the configuration file.

Default template looks like this:

{{.Key}} ({{.Fields.Assignee.Key}}, {{.Fields.Status.Name}}): {{.Fields.Summary}} - {{.Self}}

JIRA_NOTIFY_INTERVAL environment variable can be used to control how often the notification methods will be run. It defaults to be run every minute.
