# Set up a development environment **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
The following are required to install and test the app:
|
|
|
|
- A Jira Cloud instance. Atlassian provides [free instances for development and testing](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/getting-started/#free-developer-instances-to-build-and-test-your-app).
|
|
- A GitLab instance available over the internet. For the app to work, Jira Cloud should
|
|
be able to connect to the GitLab instance through the internet. For this we
|
|
recommend using Gitpod or a similar cloud development environment. For more
|
|
information on using Gitpod with GDK, see the:
|
|
|

documentation.

|
You **must not** use tunneling tools such as
|
|
<!-- vale gitlab.Spelling = NO --> Serveo <!-- vale gitlab.Spelling = YES -->
|
|
or `ngrok`. These are
|
|
security risks, and must not be run on developer laptops.
|
|
|
|
Jira requires all connections to the app host to be over SSL. If you set up
|
|
your own environment, remember to enable SSL and an appropriate certificate.
|
|
|
|
## Install the app in Jira
|
|
|
|
To install the app in Jira:
|
|
|
|
1. Enable Jira development mode to install apps that are not from the Atlassian
|
|
Marketplace:
|
|
|
|
1. In Jira, navigate to **Jira settings > Apps > Manage apps**.
|
|
1. Scroll to the bottom of the **Manage apps** page and click **Settings**.
|
|
1. Select **Enable development mode** and click **Apply**.
|
|
|
|
1. Install the app:
|
|
|
|
1. In Jira, navigate to **Jira settings > Apps > Manage apps**.
|
|
1. Click **Upload app**.
|
|
1. In the **From this URL** field, provide a link to the app descriptor. The host and port must point to your GitLab instance.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
https://xxxx.gitpod.io/-/jira_connect/app_descriptor.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Upload**.
|
|
|
|
If the install was successful, you should see the **GitLab for Jira** app under **Manage apps**.
|
|
You can also click **Getting Started** to open the configuration page rendered from your GitLab instance.
|
|
|
|
_Note that any changes to the app descriptor requires you to uninstall then reinstall the app._
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If the app install failed, you might need to delete `jira_connect_installations` from your database.
|
|
|
|
1. Open the [database console](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/blob/main/doc/howto/postgresql.md#access-postgresql).
|
|
1. Run `TRUNCATE TABLE jira_connect_installations CASCADE;`.
|
|
|
|
## Add a namespace
|
|
|
|
To add a [namespace](../../user/group/index.md#namespaces) to Jira:
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you are logged in on your GitLab development instance.
|
|
1. On the GitLab app page in Jira, click **Get started**.
|
|
1. Open your browser's developer tools and navigate to the **Network** tab.
|
|
1. Try to add the namespace in Jira.
|
|
1. If the request fails with 401 "not authorized", copy the request as a cURL command
|
|
and paste it in your terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your development instance (usually at: <http://localhost:3000>), open developer
|
|
tools, navigate to the Network tab and reload the page.
|
|
1. Copy all cookies from the first request.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Append the cookies to the cURL command in your terminal:
|
|
`--cookies "<cookies from the request>"`.
|
|
1. Submit the cURL request.
|
|
1. If the response is `{"success":true}`, the namespace was added.
|
|
1. Append the cookies to the cURL command in your terminal `--cookies "PASTE COOKIES HERE"`.
|
|
1. Submit the cURL request.
|
|
1. If the response is `{"success":true}` the namespace was added.
