I recently set up Jira Server with Bamboo Server and Subversion. My problem is that the build tab in Jira only shows builds linked to project issues. But I have lots of builds that aren’t connected to any issues. These don’t show up in the build tab.
Is there a way to make Jira show all the builds for my project? I want to see everything, not just the ones tied to issues.
I’ve tried looking through the settings, but I can’t find an option to change this. It’s frustrating because I know there are more builds out there. Any ideas on how to fix this? Maybe there’s a plugin or a setting I’m missing?
Thanks for any help you can give!
hey mate, i feel ur pain. jira can be a real pain sometimes. have u tried using the bamboo dashboard widget in jira? it might show all builds, not just linked ones. worth a shot. if not, maybe check out some plugins on the marketplace. good luck!
As someone who’s worked extensively with Jira and Bamboo, I can relate to your frustration. One approach that’s worked well for us is utilizing Bamboo’s built-in reporting features. You can create a custom report in Bamboo that includes all builds for your project, regardless of their Jira issue linkage.
Once you’ve set up this report, you can embed it directly into your Jira project using an iframe or by creating a custom gadget. This way, you’ll have a comprehensive view of all builds right within your Jira interface.
Another trick we’ve used is setting up a Bamboo dashboard specifically for unlinked builds and then linking to this dashboard from your Jira project’s sidebar. It’s not as seamless as having everything in one place, but it does provide quick access to all your build information.
Remember, while these solutions require a bit of setup, they can save you a lot of time and headaches in the long run. Good luck with your integration!
I’ve encountered a similar issue in my organization. Unfortunately, out of the box, Jira doesn’t provide a way to display all Bamboo builds regardless of issue linkage. This is a limitation of the current integration between Jira and Bamboo.
However, there are a couple of workarounds you might consider:
-
Create a ‘dummy’ issue in Jira and link all your unlinked builds to it. This isn’t ideal but can serve as a temporary solution.
-
Look into third-party add-ons in the Atlassian Marketplace. Some plugins extend the Jira-Bamboo integration capabilities.
-
Use Bamboo’s REST API to create a custom dashboard or report that pulls in all builds, then link this to your Jira project.
These aren’t perfect solutions, but they might help you achieve what you’re looking for. Hope this gives you some ideas to explore further.
