Integrating Jira with Octopus

Question

I am using Octopus to deploy. Can I somehow get the jira ticket numbers into the release notes in the deployment. I just want to know the changes related to the build number.

Answer 1

I've got a powershell step to do this in teamcity. It queries jira api to get all the fixes/features to version equivalent number that teamcity build and then queries jira api again to get the issue details in order to build the release notes in markdown, which I then pass to Octopack to embed nuget package. After this, if I check octopus, I can get all the ticket numbers and summaries, grouped by issue type.

The only thing I'd suggest to do is make this a part of your build process rather than Deployment process.

Yes, we use teamcity to build the package, i thought these guys could bring teamcity also into this so that they can build the release notes also by the plugin and post it to octo and prepare necessary details.
