[Bitbucket] Hyperlinking to source code in Bitbucket

[Prameesha Samarakoon]

As per the reference  for Bitbucket hyperlinking to source code, the url template is as follows. 

{+bitbucket}{/owner, repository_name}/src{/commitish}{/filepath}{?fileviewer}{#fileline}

The mandatory field owner is referred to as 'The account owner the repository that contains the target file'.  I've tried the admin user of the repository, however this does not work.  Is the owner field here the repository admin user or a different user?

The bitbucket version in use is v4.14.3

Hi Prameesha,

The documentation you linked to is actually for Bitbucket Cloud, hosted at bitbucket.org. For Bitbucket Server, the URL structure is similar, but slightly different.

If the repository is part of a project, use the following structure:

https://bitbucket.company.com/projects/<PROJECT>/repos/<REPO_NAME>/browse/<FILE_PATH>/<FILE_NAME>#<LINE_NUMBER>

If the repository is under a user, use the following structure:

https://bitbucket.company.com/users/<USER>/repos/<REPO_NAME>/browse/<FILE_PATH>/<FILE_NAME>#<LINE_NUMBER>

Hi Jeff, 

This works perfectly. However this always points to the source in the  master branch. If I were to access the source in the develop branch how should I go about it?

Thanks,

Prameesha

Hi Prameesha,

After the <FILE_NAME>, you can add "?at=<BRANCH> to specify the branch you want.

https://bitbucket.company.com/projects/<PROJECT>/repos/<REPO_NAME>/browse/<FILE_PATH>/<FILE_NAME>?at=<BRANCH>#<LINE_NUMBER>

Hi Jeff, 

I used the following but this does not give me any results. It just shows me the entire source file but not the corresponding line.

https://bitbucket.company.com/projects/<PROJECT>/repos/<REPO_NAME>/browse/<FILE_PATH>/<FILE_NAME>#<Line number.>?at=<branch>

Hi Prameesha,

The Community site truncated the URL, which made it a bit hard to read. The ?at=<BRANCH> should come before the line number. For example:

...projects/<PROJECT>/repos/<REPO_NAME>/browse/<FILE_PATH>/<FILE_NAME>?at=<BRANCH>#<LINE_NUMBER>

Is there any short way to point to current branch or current pull request, rather than mentioning the whole URL? Maybe something like 

%File:F123T12%

Hi Prameesha, a  repo can have several admins but that doesnt mean all of them are owners. The owner will be the creator of the repository. You can find who's the owner by navigating to the repo settings and clicking on User and group access.

Best regards,

Ana

Hi Ana,

I tried the same, however it gives me a URL not found exception. Is there any other configuration that needs to be enabled?

Thanks!
