Hi,
We already have a working Jenkins setup which currently uses Bitbucket App password to clone repositories. Same secret is also in multibranch pipelines. Everythig works fine.
Now I am trying to replace this secret by a secret created by using Bitbucket API token. I have created a Jenkins secret in which username is same as my Bitbucket username and password is Bitbucket API token. This secret is working fine in normal pipeline. Repository is being cloned and pipeline runs successfuly. But when I use this secret in multibranch pipeline, it is not able to show me list of repositories in my bitbucket account. Seems it is not able to fetch the list of repositories. So, I am not able to create/configure my multibranch pipeline.
I created another secret using the same API token, but this time I used my email id as username. When I use this secret in multibranch pipeline list of repositories is being populated and I am able to create the multibranch pipeline. But when a multibranch pipeline is trigged and it reaches the stage where git plugin needs to clone the repository, it fails because of failure from Git plugin related to authentication. So, cloning of repository fails.
There is no issue with the scopes associated with the token. Token has following scopes:
read:repository:bitbucket
read:pullrequest:bitbucket
read:webhook:bitbucket
write:webhook:bitbucket
In summary, it seems “Bitbucket Branch Source Plugin” which is used for multibranch pipeline needs secret in which email is used as username and Git plugin needs secret in which bitbucket username is used as username. Now, I am not sure how to meet requirements of both so that multibranch pipelines run successfully.
