From a pull request to a jira issue

After the generate a patch and attach it to a jira issue, it's now the time to have a tool to create an issue from a patch request (the current implementation works only for github pull request).

So the Patch Tracker plugin has now a new goal called to-issue. This goal will read a github pull request and create an issue in your issue tracker (currently only supported for jira).

It's simple :-).
As sample see pull request : https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/320 and the created issue in jira: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-11883
I have just used the cli:

mvn patch-tracker:to-issue -Dpatch.request.id=320 -B

For easy configuration see the properties in the jenkins pom.

    <project.patchManagement.system>github</project.patchManagement.system>
    <patch.request.organisation>jenkinsci</patch.request.organisation>
    <patch.request.repository>jenkins</patch.request.repository>
    <project.patchManagement.url>https://api.github.com</project.patchManagement.url>
   
    <patch.tracker.serverId>jenkins-jira</patch.tracker.serverId>

entry in settings:

   <server>
     <id>jenkins-jira</id>
     <username>uid</username>
     <password>password</password>
   </server>

And that's it :-).

BTW if you need more features, patch (or pull requests) are welcome.

This maven plugin is in the maven sandbox @asf and not released, so if you want to try it you must have asf maven snapshot repo in your settings or buid it manually.
Sources are here:

• https://github.com/apache/maven-sandbox (path plugins/maven-patch-tracker-plugin) yup no sparse checkout with git :P


• http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/trunk/plugins/maven-patch-tracker-plugin/

Some docs has been started here http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-patch-tracker-plugin (maybe not yet in sync so wait a bit)

Have fun !
