Sending Build Status from Azure DevOps to Bitbucket: A Solution to Common Issues

Integrating Azure DevOps with Bitbucket Server can streamline your workflow, but it often presents challenges, particularly when it comes to updating the build status of a pipeline via REST API. In this guide, we will explore a common problem encountered when sending the build status and how to effectively resolve it.

The Problem

You might find yourself in a situation where you need to notify Bitbucket Server of your Azure DevOps pipeline's build status after a successful or failed run. Many users have successfully performed this task using tools like Postman, which shows that the API can function correctly. However, when trying to automate this process in Azure DevOps, especially through an agentless job, you might encounter an error indicating that the server cannot be found or an HTTP 404 Not Found response.

Example Scenario

You may have successfully executed a POST request like the following in Postman:

But, upon running a similar request in an Azure DevOps pipeline task, you encounter issues like:

HTTP Response Code: 0

Error message: An error was encountered while processing request. Exception: 404 Not Found

Understanding the Issue

Upon further inspection, one common error lies in the URL formation of your POST request. When the URL includes an incorrect or redundant structure, such as an extra slash (//), it can lead to a failure in reaching the intended server endpoint. In this specific case, the issue stemmed from surrounding the domain with incorrect slashes, leading Azure DevOps to fail in correctly routing the request.

The Solution

Resolving this connection issue is straightforward. Here's how you can fix it:

Step 1: Review the URL

Examine the URL structure in your REST API call. Ensure that you don’t have multiple forward slashes in your URL. The correct example should look like this:

Step 2: Modify Your Azure DevOps Pipeline Task

If you identify an extra /, simply remove it in the Invoke REST API task in your Azure DevOps pipeline configuration. Your URL should be clean and properly formatted.

Step 3: Test the Request Again

After making the necessary adjustments, rerun your pipeline. If everything is configured correctly, the build status should now successfully update in Bitbucket Server without any errors.

Conclusion

Integrating Azure DevOps with Bitbucket Server through REST APIs can significantly enhance your development workflow. However, it is crucial to ensure that the URL format in your API calls is correct. By simply checking for extraneous characters like extra slashes, you can eliminate potential connection issues that could disrupt your integration process. We hope this guide helps you resolve any similar challenges and improves your experience in using these powerful tools together.

Now you're ready to tackle your REST API integration challenges with confidence!
