Integrating Bamboo with Bitbucket Server

When you integrate Bamboo with Atlassian's Bitbucket Server Git repository management solution, commit, branch, build and deployment information is shared for users of both applications.

Benefits of integration

When Bamboo (versions 5.6 and later) and Bitbucket Server are integrated, you and your team get all the following advantages:

Bitbucket Server tells Bamboo when to build

• When a developer pushes to a repository the build is automatically started. 

Bitbucket Server tells Bamboo when to update plan branches to match changes in repository branches

• When a developer pushes a new branch to a repository a branch plan is automatically created.
• When a developer deletes a branch in a repository, the branch plan is automatically deleted or disabled. 

Bitbucket Server commits are displayed in the relevant Bamboo builds

• In Bamboo, you can view all of the commits involved in the build, allowing you to accurately track changes:
  
   
• Simply click on a changeset to go to Bitbucket Server, where you can see the commit diff for all of the files that are part of the build.

Bamboo notifies Bitbucket Server automatically about build results

• Build notifications are automatically enabled when you link a build plan to a Bitbucket Server repository.
• Notifications are sent to all linked Bitbucket servers.
• You see the build results status for a commit when viewing any commit or pull request in Bitbucket Server, so you can easily check the build status of a branch when deciding whether to merge changes.
• Click a build status icon in Bitbucket Server to see further details:
  
  
  

Bitbucket Server displays the overall status of the build results. The status is 'passed' if all the different builds (for example, unit tests, functional tests, deploy to staging) have succeeded, and 'failed' if at least one run failed for any of those.

For example, when viewing the Commits tab for a Bitbucket Server project, you will see icons that indicate the status of the latest build results. The red 'fail' icon is displayed if there is at least one failed build run for the commit.

Note that the legacy Bitbucket Server notification type is deprecated – it is still available in Bamboo 5.6 but will be removed in Bamboo 5.7.

Configuration

There are just a few simple configuration steps to get the integrations described above with Bamboo (versions 5.6 and later) and 
Bitbucket Server.

Bamboo will be automatically configured to respond to repository events published by Bitbucket Server, and to notify Bitbucket Server about build results – you don't have to configure repository polling for new commits anymore in Bamboo, or set up dedicated web hooks in your Bitbucket Server instance.
