Does VSCode extension work with Bitbucket alone or does it need Jira?

[John C]

We don't use Jira but were looking forward to better Bitbucket integration in VSCode. Do we need Jira to use this extension? It doesn't explicitly state that as a requirement for us lowly Bitbucket-only types.

When I set up the extension in vscode I authenticate only with Bitbucket but it says "No Bitbucket repositories found" in the Atlassian section but does show I'm connected to Bitbucket in the status bar.

I'm OK running with the generic git support in vscode but accessing issues and pipelines would be cool.

Hi @John C 

The extension figures out what repo(s) it should be dealing with by looking at the git remotes defined for the project(s) you have opened in your workspace.

If you open a project that has a bitbucket.org git remote (e.g. you cloned a bitbucket repo), you should see those trees fill up with data.

You don't need Jira to use the extension, and you can disable the Jira features from the Atlassian Settings page.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Jonathan - that confirms what I expected should be the case, but despite having git remotes hooked up and working fine in the IDE no repos are showing in the bitbucket pipelines or bitbucket issues sections under the Atlassian tab ("No Bitbucket repositories found")

It's been a long time since I git-cloned the repo but I don't think I did anything unusual. and my .git/config is showing the bitbucket repo path (via ssh) correctly.

Happy to forward you details off-thread if you l ike.

@brainicorn Hi, I am also keen to get this working. We do use Jira, and the issues show up which is great. I am having the same trouble as @John C with the same "No Bitbucket repositories found".

As a side note, I am using an alias for my git remote server name i.e. I have a have multiple repos and accounts on both bitbucket and github. So my remote looks more like git@my_alias:account_name/repo_name.git

I know that for the project I have open, the my_alias points to bitbucket.org but I am wondering if this has some impact on not seeing repositories?

I would love to be able to get this working since having the PRs directly in vscode could prove to be a great improvement to the teams workflow.

Well spotted @Sandy Agafonoff  - I'm using aliases from my .ssh/config file to specify repos with different keys too.

That's likely to be the issue.

I received an update to both the VSCode and Atlassian plugin today which had in the change log:

Whats New in 1.4.0

Improvements

...

• Make Bitbucket features work with git aliases

...

To my dismay, I am not seeing any bitbucket repos appear. Are you still having trouble seeing your bitbucket data? Should this be raised as an actual issue on https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/atlascode/issues ?

@Sandy Agafonoff looks like it's being worked on - still not working though:
