Add Two Bamboo Gadgets to JIRA
Now you will add the 'Bamboo Plans' and 'Plan Summary' gadgets to your JIRA Dragon Development Dashboard.
- Go to your JIRA browser window and click 'Dashboards' in JIRA's top navigation bar.
- Click 'Add Gadget'.
- The 'Gadget Directory' popup window will appear. Enter 'bamboo' into the search box at top right of the gadget directory screen.
- The list of gadgets will change, to show only the gadgets that match your search term. Find the 'Bamboo Plan Summary Chart' gadget and click 'Add it Now'. The gadget will be highlighted for a short time and the button's wording will change to 'Adding', while JIRA adds the gadget to the dashboard.
- Find the 'Bamboo Plans' gadget and add it too.
- Click 'Finished' to go back to your dashboard.
- Configure the 'Bamboo Plans' gadget:
- Click 'Login & approve'.
- If prompted, log in to Bamboo as 'charlie'. You will probably not be prompted, because you are currently logged in.
- The 'Request for Access' screen will appear. Click 'Approve Access'. This is how you, as the Bamboo user, allow your JIRA site to access your Bamboo data.
- The 'Bamboo Plans' gadget on your JIRA dashboard will now display some configuration fields.
- Uncheck 'Use my favourite plans'. Enter 'dra' in the textbox and select 'Dragons - All Plans' in dropdown menu that opens.
- Click the dropdown arrow next to 'Refresh Interval' and select 'Every 15 Minutes'.
- Click 'Save'.
- Configure the 'Bamboo Plan Summary Chart' gadget:
- Click 'Login & approve', then 'Approve Access'.
- The 'Bamboo Plan Summary Chart' gadget on your JIRA dashboard will now display some configuration fields. Click the dropdown arrow next to 'Chart Type' and select 'Duration & Failed Tests (group by Build Number)'.
- Click the dropdown arrow next to 'Refresh Interval' and select 'Every 15 Minutes'.
- Click 'Save'.
- Re-arrange your dashboard by dragging the 'Bamboo Plans' gadget to the bottom right of your dashboard. Drag the 'Bamboo Plan Summary Chart' gadget to the bottom right too. (This is optional, just to make everything fit into the screenshot you will take later, when you claim your Atlassian DragonSlayer T-shirt.)
- Choose a different colour for your 'Bamboo Plans' gadget:
- Move your cursor pointer over the gadget and click the downward-pointing arrow at top right of the gadget frame.
- Select the purple square in the row of colours.
- Colour your 'Bamboo Plan Summary Chart' gadget purple too.
