How to connect Bitbucket to Jenkins properly

Question

Bitbucket doesn't send a request to my Jenkins server.

I've set it all up like this:

Endpoint http://username:apitoken@jenkinshost/
username = username in Jenkins
apitoken = apitoken connected to the username in Jenkins
jenkinshost = my host where I run Jenkins

Project name is a project
Token: The token I can setup in the per-project configuration.

Initially it was working but then it stopped.

Answer 1

Follow these steps

1. Generate a custom UUID or string sequence, save for later
2. Jenkins -> Configure Project -> Build Triggers -> "Trigger builds remotely (e.g., from scripts)"
3. (Paste UUID/string Here) for "Authentication Token"
4. Save
5. Edit bitbucket repository settings
6. Hooks -> Edit: Endpoint: http://jenkins.something.co:9009/ Module Name: Project Name: Project Name Token: (Paste UUID/string Here)

In order to build your repo after new commits, use BitBucket Plugin.

There is just one thing to notice: When creating a POST Hook (notice that it is POST hook, not Jenkins hook), the URL works when it has a "/" in the end. Like:

URL: JENKINS_URL/bitbucket-hook/
e.g. someAddress:8080/bitbucket-hook/

Do not forget to check "Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket" in your job configuration.
