This page provides information on how to setup Jenkins GitHub Branch Source plugin with GitBucket to use the GitHub Organization template job.

tested with https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket/releases/tag/4.15.0

• Install Jenkins as http://jenkins:9090/
  • Install the NodeJS plugin
• Install GitBucket as http://gitbucket:8080/

I will create a NodeJS project, to run simple build and tests

• Create a group on GitBuket as eg http://gitbucket:8080/wey-yu/hello (my group is named "wey-yu")

• Create a hello repository on GitBucket (in the wey-yu group) as http://gitbucket:8080/wey-yu/hello (and initialize this repository with a README file)

• Now locally clone the repository (git clone http://gitbucket:8080/git/wey-yu/hello.git)

• Create this repository structure:

  .
  ├── README.md
  ├── index.js
  ├── Jenkinsfile
  ├── package.json
  ├── .gitignore
  └── tests
    └── test.js
  

{
  "name": "hello",
  "description": "hello",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "./node_modules/.bin/mocha tests/**",
    "start": "node index.js"  
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "chai": "^4.1.1",
    "mocha": "^3.5.0"
  }
}

'use strict';

const expect = require('chai').expect;

describe('# 42 is 42', () => {
  it('should equal 42', () => {
    expect(42).to.equal(42);
  });
});

node_modules/*

the Jenkinsfile tells to Jenkins what to do at each push of commit

node {
  stage('Checkout') {
      git url: env.GITBUCKET_URL + "/wey-yu/hello.git", branch: env.BRANCH_NAME
  }
 
  stage('Build') {
      def nodeHome = tool name: 'nodejs', type: 'jenkins.plugins.nodejs.tools.NodeJSInstallation'
      env.PATH = "${nodeHome}/bin:${env.PATH}"
      sh "npm install"
      sh "npm test"  
  }
}

you can write what you want inside index.js

git add .
git commit -m "🚀 first version of hello"
git push origin master

• Create a user on GitBucket for Jenkins as indythebot (in fact whatever you want)
  • Add indythebot as a collaborator of repository wey-yu/hello
• Add repository webhook http://jenkins:9090/github-webhook/ (⚠️ don't forget the / at the end of the url)
  • Choose application/json for Content type
  • Check Pull request
  • Check Push
  • ⚠️ Remark: currently the hook does not seem to trigger Jenkins on push or when pull request
• Create personal access token for indythebot on http://gitbucket:8080/indythebot/_application

• Go to http://jenkins:9090/configure
• At the Global properties section:
  • Check Environment variables
  • Add this variable: GITBUCKET_URL with this value: http://gitbucket:8080/git (⚠️ don't forget the /git at the end of the url), this variable is used by the Jenkins file
• At the GitHub Enterprise Servers section: (add a record if the section is empty)
  • Type the API endpoint: http://gitbucket:8080/api/v3
  • Give a name to the endpoint: eg gitbucket
• Save

• Go to http://jenkins:9090/configureTools
• At the NodeJS section, add a "NodeJS item":
  • Type the name, eg nodejs (⚠️ this value is very important, it's used in the Jenkinsfile)
  • Keep the default settings
    • Install automatically is checked
    • Install from nodejs.org: choose the last version of NodeJS (or an other version if you need it)
• Save

• Go to http://jenkins:9090/view/all/newJob
  • Type the name of the new job, use the name ou your wey-yu group (aka orgnization)
  • Select GitHub Organization
  • Click on the OK Button

• At the Projects/GitHub Organization section:
  • Set the API endpoint with the gitbucket endpoint
  • Create a "Username with password" credential with indythebot as user and its password (so, the web token is probably useless) and then select this new credential
  • Type the name of the Owner: it's the name of the group (wey-yu)
  • Keep only the Discover branches behavior and select the all branches strategy
  • Check the Project Recognizers section: you should have a Pipeline Jenkinsfile record with Jenkinsfile value for the Script Path field
• At the Scan Organization Triggers
  • ⚠️ Check the Periodically if not otherwise run checkbox, and set to 1 minute (because currently the web-hook seems not working correctly°
• Save

• Go to the settings of the hello repository (http://gitbucket:8080/wey-yu/hello/settings/options)
• Select the Branches tab
  • At the Protected branches section
    • Choose master branch
    • Check Protect this branch
    • Check Require status checks to pass before merging
      • Check continuous-integration/jenkins/branch
    • Check Include administrators
    • Click on Save changes

• create a new branch (wip-display-hello) from master in GitBucket
• update the index.js file
• commit the update
• you will see a new branch in the Jenkins dashboard (http://jenkins:8080/job/wey-yu/job/hello/)

• create a pull request from the wip-display-hello branch
• now, in the pull request Conversation tab, you can see that the pull request has been checked by Jenkins

• on the same branch (wip-display-hello) change the content of /tests/test.js to write a "bad" test:

  'use strict';
  
  const expect = require('chai').expect;
  
  describe('# 42 is 42', () => {
    it('should equal 42', () => {
      expect(42).to.equal(42);
    });
  });

• commit your changes
• return to the pull request
• you can see that you cannot merge the pull request

That's all 😉
