How do I get Jenkins to build on push to a BitBucket git repository?
I have a git repository hosted on BitBucket, and have set up SSH authentication between the repository and my Jenkins server. I can build on Jenkins manually, but cannot get the Jenkins service on BitBucket to trigger builds.
Jenkins configuration:
- Project Name: [my_jenkins_job]
- Build Triggers:
--Trigger Builds Remotely:
---Token: [token]
BitBucket configuration:
- Endpoint: http://[my_jenkins_address]/job/[my_jenkins_job]/build (I've also tried build?token=[token])
- Project Name: [my_jenkins_job]
- Module Name: [blank]
- Token: [token]
Visiting http://{my_jenkins_address}/job/{my_jenkins_job}/build?token={token} kicks off a build properly.
Why doesn't pushing a change to BitBucket cause Jenkins to initiate a build?
Answer
Due to the Jenkins Hook of Bitbucket is not working at all for me and I have different Jenkins projects for different branches I had come to this solution:
- Install Bitbucket Plugin at your Jenkins
- Add a normal Post as Hook to your Bitbucket repository (Settings -> Hooks) and use following url:
https://YOUR.JENKINS.SERVER:PORT/bitbucket-hook/
and if you have setup authentication on jenkins then URL must be like
https://USERNAME:[email protected]:PORT/bitbucket-hook/
- Configure your Jenkins project as follows:
- under build trigger enable Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket
- under Source Code Management select GIT; enter your credentials and define Branches to build (like **feature/*)
By this way I have three build projects, one for all features, one for develop and one for release branch. Make sure to include the slash ('/') on the end of the URL or the hook won't work.
And best of it, you don't have to ad new hooks for new Jenkins projects.
