Hey everyone,
I’m working on a project where I need to pull SVN commit messages for a particular JIRA issue. The issue key is PROJ-5678. I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out the best way to do this.
Does anyone know if there’s an API or some other method I can use to grab these commit messages? I’m open to using Crucible, JIRA, or SVN APIs if that helps.
I’m not super familiar with the ins and outs of these tools, so any guidance would be awesome. Even if you just know of a good resource or tutorial that covers this kind of thing, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
hey there! have u tried using the jira API? it’s pretty handy for this kinda stuff. u can make a GET request to /issue/PROJ-5678 and look for the ‘issuelinks’ field in the response. it should have info about SVN commits.
if ur not comfy with coding, maybe ask ur team’s tech guru for help setting it up. good luck!
I’ve dealt with a similar situation before, and here’s what worked for me:
Use the SVN command line tool to search for commits related to your JIRA issue. The command would look something like this:
svn log -r {2023-01-01}:HEAD | grep -i PROJ-5678
This will search all commits from January 1, 2023, to the present that mention your JIRA issue key. You can adjust the date range as needed.
If you prefer a programmatic approach, you could use the SVN API with a language like Python to automate this process. The pysvn library is quite useful for interacting with SVN repositories.
Hope this helps point you in the right direction!
I’ve been in your shoes before, and I found that using the JIRA REST API was the most efficient way to tackle this. You can make HTTP requests to retrieve issue details, including linked SVN commits.
First, you’ll need to set up authentication. Then, you can use a GET request to the /issue/{issueIdOrKey} endpoint, specifying PROJ-5678 as the key. In the response, look for the ‘issuelinks’ field, which should contain information about associated commits.
If you’re comfortable with scripting, you could automate this process using Python or another language. The requests library is great for making API calls.
Just be aware that the exact implementation might vary depending on your JIRA setup and permissions. You might need to consult your admin if you run into any access issues.
