Generic Ticketing

Generic ticketing integration

If you use a ticketing system on your project, sfdx-hardis can use it to enrich its integrations.

sfdx-hardis automatically analyzes commits and Pull Request descriptions to collect tickets and build their URLs.

Configuration

You need to define two properties in .sfdx-hardis.yml, or two environment variables in your CI/CD configuration.

It is recommended to store these properties in .sfdx-hardis.yml, so that the VS Code SFDX Hardis extension can use them for UI features.

Regular Expression to identify a Ticket

  • .sfdx-hardis.yml property: genericTicketingProviderRegex
  • ENV variable: GENERIC_TICKETING_PROVIDER_REGEX

Regular expression used to detect your ticketing system identifiers in commit and Pull Request texts.

You can use https://regex101.com/ to check your Regular Expression.

Example: ([R|I][0-9]+-[0-9]+) to detect EasyVista references, which can look like I240103-0133 or R230904-0026

  • .sfdx-hardis.yml property: genericTicketingProviderUrlBuilder
  • ENV variable: GENERIC_TICKETING_PROVIDER_URL_BUILDER

Template string used to build a hyperlink from a ticket identifier.

It must contain a {REF} segment, which is replaced by the ticket identifier.

Example: https://instance.easyvista.com/index.php?ticket={REF}

GitLab configuration

If you are using GitLab, you need to update the Merge Request settings.

Go to Project -> Settings -> Merge Requests

Update Merge Commit Message Template with the following value:

%{title} Merge branch '%{source_branch}' into '%{target_branch}'

%{issues}

See merge request %{reference}

%{description}

%{all_commits}

Update Squash Commit Message Template with the following value:

%{title} Merge branch '%{source_branch}' into '%{target_branch}'

%{issues}

See merge request %{reference}

%{description}

%{all_commits}

Technical notes

This integration uses the following variables, which must be available from the pipelines or in .sfdx-hardis.yml:

  • genericTicketingProviderRegex or GENERIC_TICKETING_PROVIDER_REGEX
  • genericTicketingProviderUrlBuilder or GENERIC_TICKETING_PROVIDER_URL_BUILDER
