In this post I want to show you how you can use your together with . Furthermore I want to also introduce you into a really awesome, cutting edge Test Management Suite for Jira which I use a lot. Bitbucket pipelines Jira Cloud Xray Test Management for Jira Cloud You might have read my last post about — if not you’ll have the chance later on, because I do refer to some configuration. Deploy a React App to Heroku with Bitbucket pipelines Initial Situation In most enterprises we don’t want to change workflows in production environment directly. Instead we have a test instance or project where we build stuff first and then present it to the business. In this article we’ll assume we have the following simple workflow and a rule for transition issues from to . This rule checks if the user is in the Project Role of (we’ll assume the user is 😉🙄). “Backlog” “In Progress” Administrator Now that we have implemented the Jira workflow the way the business needs it, we need to test the workflow. Sure, you could say, let’s do it manually because it’s a quick test. But in most cases we do have more complex scenarios, don’t we? I want to show you, how you can test your Workflow automatically with a small (Python) running on . Pytest app Bitbucket Pipelines In addition to that I want to introduce the app — a cutting edge Test Management Suite for Jira. There we will write a Test Plan and trigger the Bitbucket Pipeline. Xray Test Management for Jira Cloud Disclaimer For simplicity’s sake, we will omit appropriate authentication or code formatting. What we will do here will work, but it should not be used in any production environment. Prerequisites To get started we need to prepare some stuff first to make sure that everything is working fine. What we need for this tutorial is: Python3 installed on your local machine – see documentation Python IDE installed – in my case this is from Jetbrains PyCharm generated – Jira API token see documentation generated – Xray API token see documentation generated – Bitbucket App Password see documentation Let's Get Started! Step 1 — Create a Python app: Yes, this time round we’ll build a small Python app which does nothing more than transition an Jira issue from one status to another. Therefore, you need to: Open up PyCharm Create a new Python Project Make sure you use as your Python environment Pipenv After we’ve created our Python app we need to install at least two python packages. Head over to: → → Settings Project:<your-app-name> Project Interpreter Install and via the little + sign on the right side jira-3.0a2 pytest In the project root create a folder with the name and within the folder create a file called The file will look pretty simple and we do manage all stuff e.g. authentication, within this file. tests test_transition.py. jira JIRA, JIRAError

jira = JIRA(
    options={ : },
    basic_auth=( , ),
) from import "server" "https://<domain>.atlassian.net" "<E-MAILADDRESS>" "<API-TOKEN>" At first we need to load the Jira library for authentication and using all the Jira methods we need to update and transition issues. After we’ve imported all we need, we can authenticate to our Jira Cloud instance. It is important that you use the API token mentioned above in the prerequisites. Jira Cloud doesn’t allow you to use basic authentication with username and password anymore. Next we add the test itself directly below the authentication. The steps are: Get the issue(s) Execute the transition — at least try If correct assert the new issue status ( ) In Progress If not correct assert the current issue status ( ) Backlog issue = jira.issue( ) :
        jira.transition_issue(issue, ) JIRAError: issue.fields.status.name == issue.fields.status.name == : def test_in_progress () "<ISSUE-KEY>" try "In Progress" except assert "Backlog" return assert "In Progress" At this point we already can test our Python app. To do that we need to create a Run Configuration: Go to → Run Edit configurations Click on symbol → choose (absolute path to your test file) + pytest Add the and (absolute path of tests folder) Script Path Working Directory After that we can right-click our folder and choose Our result should look something like this: tests pytest in tests. Step 2 — Upload the app to Bitbucket: For this please read my where I explain in detail how you can setup your code repository and how to enable pipelines for it. previous post After you’ve setup your Bitbucket repository, open a terminal, make sure you are in the root directory of your Python app, and type the following lines: git init
git add .
git commit -m git remote add origin https://username@bitbucket.org/username/name-of-your-repository.git
git push -u origin master "initial commit" When you refresh the browser page, you should see all the files and folders of the app you’ve just commited to the git repository. Now that we have everything up and running, add the following : bitbucket-pipeline.yml image: python:3.8.3
pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        caches:
          - pip
        name: Run tests
        script:
          -  |
             pip install pipenv
             pip --version
             pipenv install pipenv run python3 -m pytest --junitxml= -result.xml test_transition.py token=$(curl -H -X POST --data https://xray.cloud.xpand-it.com/api/v1/authenticate| tr -d )
             curl -H -H --data @ -result.xml echo "Test my amazing script" test export "Content-Type: application/json" "{ \"client_id\": \" \",\"client_secret\": \" \" }" $client_id $client_secret '"' "Content-Type: text/xml" "Authorization: Bearer " $token test "https://xray.cloud.xpand-it.com/api/v1/import/execution/junit?projectKey=TP&testPlanKey=<ISSUE-KEY>" echo "done" Puuhh! 😵 Let's go through this step by step: We install because it takes care of everything you need to work with your app and it is just awesome! pipenv We install all libraries added to our Project and therefore to the Pipfile with pipenv install We run our test(s) with the special parameter — = (important use double dashes infront of junitxml!) junitxml <filename>.xml We get our token with the credentials mentioned above Xray Cloud App We push the to the Xray Cloud App test-result.xml Finally we specify the and our which we will create in a second. Project Key Xray Test Plan Step 3 — Install and configure Xray: Installing Xray is really easy and straight forward. Go to in your Settings menu on the top right Apps Go to and search for Xray Find new Apps Click on the Card and install the App via Try Free In app marketplace side in Jira Cloud Step 4 — Create a Test Plan and a Task: First we create a new Project. You can choose any type of Project Type, all will work with Xray. In our case we create a with the name and the key Classic — Kanban Project Test project TP. If you’ve never used Xray before and need help setting up your project, they got awesome documentation here: Quick Setup - Xray Cloud Documentation - Xray (getxray.app) After configuring our Project we need to create two issues. - This one will receive all Test Execution and Test issues which will automatically be created when triggering the pipeline (see our pipeline.yml) Test Plan - This one is our Task with the Workflow we want to Test. Task Step 5 — Trigger Bitbucket Pipelines via Jira Automation: So let’s do the following: Go to Project Settings Choose Automation Create a New rule For the trigger we will use Issue transitioned: Next, we add a . Under the section we pick New Action Notification Send web request. : Webhook URL https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repo_slug}/pipelines/ In the text area just add the following JSON: { : { : , : , : }
} "target" "ref_type" "branch" "type" "pipeline_ref_target" "ref_name" "master" For more details take a look at the REST API Endpoint in the official documentation . Now that we have everything setup, let’s grab some popcorn and let’s enjoy what we’ve just build. Our Jira Board should look something like this Let’s move the issue in our from to . This should trigger our pipeline! Go to your Bitpucket pipeline — you should see that the build just has started. TP-1 Test Plan Backlog In Progress After the pipeline tasks are successfully done let’s head back to Jira. Our Task was transitioned to thanks to our Python app. Now we know that the business team will be happy and we can prove to them even before the presentation that everythings works as requested. In Progress Xray automatically created a Test Execution and a Test for us. Even more we’ve pushed the results to the Test Plan. — Result after running the Bitbucket pipeline Test Plan — Created after running the Bitbucket pipeline Test Execution About Jodocus The team brings its expertise in business processes, ALM, DevOps and Cloud to you!
