VCS Integration with issue trackers
With MPS, you can connect your commit messages with a bug tracker or an issues data base, and navigate from commits in your VCS log to issues related to these commits.
To enable navigation from commit messages to issues
In the Settings/Preferences dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S), select Version Control | Issue Navigation on the left.
- Configure a list of issue navigation patterns by mapping issue patterns in commit messages with URL addresses of the referenced issues.
If you are using JIRA or YouTrack, click Add JIRA pattern
or Add YouTrack Pattern 
on the toolbar, and type the URL to the installation of the bug tracking system.
MPS will automatically add a regular expression that defines the navigation pattern.- For other issue tracking systems, click the Add button
to create a new entry or select an existing entry and click the Edit button. In the Add Issue Navigation Link dialog box that opens, specify the following: The regular expression that defines the issue pattern in a commit message.
The replacement expression that defines the URL to access the corresponding referenced issue.
Example
Issue ID pattern | The regular expression that defines the format in which issues are referenced in commit messages.
[A-Z]+\-\d+
|
Issue link pattern | A combination of the URL address of your issue tracking system and a regular expression that identifies issues in it.
http://mytracker/issue/$0
$0 indicates a back reference to the entire match. This means that as soon as MPS detects a match in a commit message, it is added to the URL address of the tracker as is. |
Matching issue ID | MPS detects the following reference to an issue in the commit message of interest:
MYPROJECT-110
|
Composed issue link | In accordance with the above issue navigation pattern, the detected matching reference is added to the URL of the tracker as is, so the link to the referenced issue is composed as follows:
http://mytracker/issue/MYPROJECT-110
