You can give it a try by checkin in someting on your repo on Bitbucket. Especially if your build process is running for a longer time this shouldn’t be an issue at all. While this is not exactl what some people might expect from CI (because it doesn’t really build on every check-in) for most scenarios this should be good enough. However VSTS polls the external repo from time to time to see if things changed and starts building then. As we are working with an external Git repo we can’t build on every check-in. It will take you directly to the configuration dialog for endpoints.Ĭonfigure CI in VSTS for a repo on BitbucketĬlick “Save” to save the definition, provide a name and then select the “Triggers” tab to configure CI. If you want to modify your endpoint click “Manage”. If you have created multiple endpoints choose the correct one. The connection entry should contain the name of your service endpoint you created in the previous step. Repository type should be “External Git”. It might already be filled out correctly. After creation check the “Repository” tab in VSTS. So let’s create a new Build definiton in the “Build” tab of VSTS.Ĭhoose “Remote Git” as repository and click create. You can now use this connection in a build definition. Having done this you have a valid connection to Bitbucket. If your repo isn’t public you have to provide username and password. You can find the URL of your repo as described above. This will lead to the following dialog where you can specify details for the Git repository on Bitbucket. The kind of Servcie Endpoint we are creating is called “External Git”. Then click the “Services” entry in the menu. In VSTS click the little gear icon on the upper right. This sounds far more complicated then it is. What we need to do is we have to specify the Git repository hosted on Bitbucket as a service endpoint. To do this we integrate Bitbucket with VSTS on a deeper level. Instead it’s good to know that you don’t have to do this step but instead you can just stick with Bitbucket as long as you want and still use other parts of VSTS. Once you decide for a source control repository and once you have a fair amount of developers working on it changing the repository is considered as a big step with high risk and a lot of people are scared of doing this. Option 2: Stick with Bitbucket and trigger CI on VSTSįor our customer this was not an option. A new build will fire every time you check-in something. Now you can specify some details- but you are basically done. Click “Triggers” in the menu.Ĭheck the Continuous Integration checkbox. However what we wanted to do is configure CI. On the following screen you can define the build steps. Create a build definition on the “Build” tab and just choose the correct repository you just created.Īlso make sure you choose the correct branch which is supposed to be built. It really is the standard flow for configuring CI with VSTS. Now if you want to setup CI, so that a build is triggered every time something changes in a certain branch, here’s how you do it. Provide the URL of your repo and – if required – username and password. In VSTS open your team project and open the “Code” tab. You can click the clone button in the menu and you’ll find the URL to. It’s a one time shot, so if you keep working in Bitbucket changes will not be visible automatically in VSTS – that’s why in this specific case you’d decide to continue working in VSTS only.įind the URL of your git repo in Bitbucket.

Afterwards you continue working with the repository in VSTS. This basically clones the repository specified (in our case the repository on Bitbucket) into VSTS. If you have an existing repository (as in our customer’s case) you can decide to to use the import dialog of VSTS.

This is something very comfortable because you don’t have to worry about integration at all if you just use whatever VSTS brings out of the box. Of course Git is supported by VSTS and VSTS allows you to create your own Git repository within VSTS. The repository used by our customer in Bitbucket was based on Git.

Let’s first take a look at how to import the source code from bitbucket. Option 1: One-Time import of source code form Bitbucket Or you can stick with Bitbucket and just decide to use other components of VSTS (like Build, Deployment and so on). There are two approaches: You can decide to do a one-time move from Bitbucket to VSTS. In this post I will take a deeper look into how to integrate with bitbucket.

Read the full story in the previous post. The full end-to-end chain includes a lot of different 3rd party tools as you can see in the picture below. As mentioned in an earlier post one of our customer wants to integrate his Source Code Repository on Bitbucket into an end-to-end toolchain.
