Tasks in BitBucket Server are comments with BLOCKER severity. They are managed via the Comments API.
# List all tasks (BLOCKER comments)
python3 scripts/bitbucket_api.py get-tasks --project MYPROJ --repo my-repo --pr-id 42
# Complete a single task
python3 scripts/bitbucket_api.py complete-task --project MYPROJ --repo my-repo --pr-id 42 --comment-id 456
# Complete multiple tasks at once (comma-separated IDs)
python3 scripts/bitbucket_api.py complete-tasks --project MYPROJ --repo my-repo --pr-id 42 --comment-ids 456,789,123
# Reopen a single task
python3 scripts/bitbucket_api.py reopen-task --project MYPROJ --repo my-repo --pr-id 42 --comment-id 456
# Reopen multiple tasks at once
python3 scripts/bitbucket_api.py reopen-tasks --project MYPROJ --repo my-repo --pr-id 42 --comment-ids 456,789PR Actions
# Approve a PR
python3 scripts/bitbucket_api.py approve --project MYPROJ --repo my-repo --pr-id 42
# Merge a PR
python3 scripts/bitbucket_api.py merge --project MYPROJ --repo my-repo --pr-id 42
# Decline a PR
python3 scripts/bitbucket_api.py decline --project MYPROJ --repo my-repo --pr-id 42Workflow Guidelines
Reviewing a Pull Request
- Get PR details to understand the context
- Get the diff to review code changes
- Get existing comments to see discussion
- Add comments or inline comments as needed
- Check and manage tasks if present
- Approve or request changes
Creating a Pull Request
- Ensure the source branch exists and has commits
- Create the PR with a descriptive title and description
- The script returns the PR ID and URL on success
Managing Tasks
Tasks in BitBucket Server are comments with BLOCKER severity. Use get-tasks to list all tasks and their status (returns comment IDs), then complete-task or reopen-task to change their state. The comment ID from get-tasks output is used as --comment-id for task operations.
Error Handling
The script outputs JSON for successful operations and error messages for failures. Common errors:
- Missing environment variables: Ensure
BITBUCKET_URL,BITBUCKET_USER, andBITBUCKET_TOKENare set - Authentication failed: Verify credentials and token permissions
- Resource not found: Check project, repository, and PR ID values
