I have a powershell build script which checks out code and increments a build

  • 0

I have a powershell build script which checks out code and increments a build number in SVN (nightly) in our Version.h file.

What I need is some way to set that build number in JIRA (or have JIRA read it from SVN) so that when a story is marked as resolved, it sets a “Last Version” field to that build number so QA knows which build an issue was resolved in.

What’s the best way to do this? I could potentially use some combination of the JIRA CLI and a custom field or something, but I was wondering what suggestions were? Are there any scripts/plugins written for this already? I was thinking of using a custom option field and then somehow populating the dropdown with the new build number or something, but that seems like a dirty solution and I don’t really know how to do it anyway.

The build number is different from the version that we have in JIRA since those versions we’re using for sprints.

Thanks!

    The best way is probably to use Jira’s REST API (assuming you’re using Jira v4.x onwards, I think). Jira supports SOAP as well, but I think that is going to be more bother than it is worth.

    Then assuming your proxy is set correctly, you can use code similar to this Stackoverflow question: Call REST API from PowerShell Script.

    Lastly, since the Jira REST api needs authentication, I’d suggest you do not include the password for obvious reasons, but read it from a secure store, or permissioned system file or some other appropriate alternative.
