command for pull requests

[Former user]

i'd be extremely useful if we could:

$ bitbucket pull-request owner/repo

i'm not very familiar with the bitbucket (rest) api, but i may take a stab at if if you're interested

[Howard Mao]

Go for it

[Former user]

there's no api for it :(

see https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issue/8195/rest-api-for-creating-pull-requests

[Former user]

as this isn't currently possible, should i close?

[Former user]

nevermind, it's now possible. i'll take a look at writing the command.

Would love to get notified on this once its released.

Hey folks, turns out pull requests only exist in V2 of the API. I added a pull request which gives us a pull_request command, but it's not very robust right not.

Add to this that the API docs are either out of date or there's a bug in the API, but my properly formated data dict for the API is being rejected.

TL;DR, every thing is in pull request #11 to make this work, but Atlassian needs to get back to me as to why their API is rejecting the requests.

[Howard Mao]

Cool, thanks Colin. Tell me when Atlassian fixes the issue and I will merge this PR.

[Colin Powell]

Well ... Bb got back to me and it turns out the APIv2 requires a content-type header, which because I based my command of the others, was missing.

So now with a content-type header in there, it's at least giving me a proper response. But now it just responds with 400s. So I'll debug that hopefully update the pull request in the next day or two with a command that works, woot!

@powellc any luck with this? :)

any updates?

I've opened pull request #14 for this issue.

For those watching who don't want to wait:

git clone [e-mail]:zhemao/bitbucket-cli.git
cd bitbucket-cli
git remote add com4 [e-mail]:com4/bitbucket-cli.git
git fetch com4
git checkout -t com4/feature/add-pull-requests
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/bb /usr/bin/bb  # Remove the old link.
sudo ln -s `pwd`/_bbcli /usr/local/bin/bb

Then when it's included in the mainline, you can just remove the symlink and repository and pip install -U bitbucket-cli.

Thanks, @com4 - very helpful!

FYI its easier to install this version using pip install git+https://bitbucket.org/com4/bitbucket-cli.git@feature/add-pull-requests
