Because Git and Mercurial allow commits to be attributed to users other than those pushing changes to the repository, if your FishEye instance has any DVCS repositories then Smart Commits will be disabled. This is a security measure to prevent privilege escalation. This only occurs when the feature is first initialised, and will not be disabled if new Git or Mercurial repositories are added afterwards.

Requirements

Smart commits that transition JIRA issues require the following:

  • An Application Link must be configured between FishEye/Crucible and JIRA. See Adding an Application Link.
  • The JIRA FishEye Plugin version 3.4.5, or later, must be installed on your JIRA instance. The plugin can be downloaded using the Atlassian plugin manager from within JIRA, or manually downloaded from the Atlassian plugin exchange.

  • A project/entity link between FishEye/Crucible and JIRA is required for JIRA versions earlier that JIRA 5.0, with JIRA FishEye Plugin versions earlier than 5.0.10. See Adding project links between applications.

    If the Application Link to JIRA is configured to use OAuth, the commiting user must authenticate with JIRA before any smart commit will work with JIRA. Accomplish this by the following instructions:

    1. Create a test review in FishEye.
    2. Log in with the commiting user.
    3. Open the review and click in "Edit Details".
    4. Fill the field "Linked Issue" with the key of some JIRA issue and click in "Link". You'll be prompted to authenticate.
    5. Do this for every commiting user (no need to create a new review, only link the review to any JIRA issue).

FAQ

Q. The Smart Commits administration page is reporting an error, saying "No plugins installed"

A. It is possible that the smart commit plugins are disabled in the Plugins section of your FishEye instance. Please navigate to System Settings > Plugins and open System Plugins. Please ensure that the FishEye/Crucible Review Smart Commit Plugin and FishEye/Crucible JIRA Smart Commit Hook Plugin are enabled (as well as all of their submodules). If you are unable to enable them, please view your FishEye logs for clues and raise a support request at http://support.atlassian.com/ with your logs attached.
