The runnable can be found in NPM.
| Version | Java Version |
|---|---|
| version < 1.36.0 | 11 |
| 1.36.0 <= version | 17 |
Run it with:
# Using application password
npx violation-comments-to-bitbucket-cloud-command-line \
-u tomasbjerre \
-p MY-APPLICATION-PASSWORD \
-ws tomasbjerre \
-rs violations-test \
-prid 1 \
-v "CHECKSTYLE" "." ".*checkstyle/main\.xml$" "Checkstyle" \
-v "JSHINT" "." ".*jshint/report\.xml$" "JSHint"
# Using API token
npx violation-comments-to-bitbucket-cloud-command-line \
-t MY-PROJECT-OR-REPOSITORY-APPLICATION-PASSWORD \
-ws tomasbjerre \
-rs violations-test \
-prid 1 \
-v "CHECKSTYLE" "." ".*checkstyle/main\.xml$" "Checkstyle" \
-v "JSHINT" "." ".*jshint/report\.xml$" "JSHint"
Create application passwords like this: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/app-passwords-828781300.html. Pass the username (-u) and the application password (-p) to the command.
Alternatively, the plugin supports api tokens; create them like this: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/api-tokens/. Pass the api token (-t) to the command.
If using it from Jenkins, you may integrate with Bitbucket Cloud with this plugin: https://github.com/jenkinsci/generic-webhook-trigger-plugin
You must perform the merge before build. If you don't perform the merge, the reported violations will refer to other lines then those in the pull request. The merge can be done with a shell script like this.
