Bugzilla Service

Navigate to the Integrations page, select the Bugzilla service and fill in the required details as described in the table below.

Field Description
description A name for the issue tracker (to differentiate between instances, for example)
project_url The URL to the project in Bugzilla which is being linked to this GitLab project. Note that the project_url requires PRODUCT_NAME to be updated with the product/project name in Bugzilla.
issues_url The URL to the issue in Bugzilla project that is linked to this GitLab project. Note that the issues_url requires :id in the URL. This ID is used by GitLab as a placeholder to replace the issue number.
new_issue_url This is the URL to create a new issue in Bugzilla for the project linked to this GitLab project. Note that the new_issue_url requires PRODUCT_NAME to be updated with the product/project name in Bugzilla.

Once you have configured and enabled Bugzilla:

  • the Issues link on the GitLab project pages takes you to the appropriate Bugzilla product page
  • clicking New issue on the project dashboard takes you to Bugzilla for entering a new issue

Referencing issues in Bugzilla

Issues in Bugzilla can be referenced in two alternative ways:

  1. #<ID> where <ID> is a number (example #143)
  2. <PROJECT>-<ID> where <PROJECT> starts with a capital letter which is then followed by capital letters, numbers or underscores, and <ID> is a number (example API_32-143).

Please note that <PROJECT> part is ignored and links always point to the address specified in issues_url.
