P4 Bugzilla Bridge

The P4 Bugzilla Bridge integrates P4 and Bugzilla without involving P4 Jobs. It runs as a daemon monitoring Perforce for any checkin that contains a reference to a bug. When it detects such a reference it posts the checkin comment as a comment to the relevant bug and optionally marks the bug as resolved.

The p4 Bugzilla Bridge will only respond to checkin comments that have a specific format, those that match either of these regular expressions:

[Bb]ugs?:?\\s*?((\\d+)[\\s,]*)+
[Bb]ugfix:?\\s*?((\\d+)[\\s,]*)+

For example: bug:1234 or Bugs: 1,2,3 4, 5 or Bugfix: 1121

When the Bugfix keyword is used the bug is also marked as resolved.

The code can be found at //guest/warwick_hunter/p4bugzilla on the Perforce public depot server. The code uses the latest version of the P4 Java API

Communications with Bugzilla

The code uses the latest Bugzilla REST API. It will communicate with Bugzilla version 5 systems.
