Update Stash Build Status

The 'Update Stash Build Status Build Event Handler' is an event handler which interacts with the Bitbucket Server (previously Stash) Build Integration REST API.  This feature allows Continua CI to mark commits within a BitBucket Server repository with a build state of successful, failed, or "in progress". 

The event handler is set to automatically respond to the following Build Events:

• On Before Stage Start
• On Build Pending Promotion
• On Stage Completed
• On Build Stopping
• On Build Completed
  
  

The Pending status is sent when the On Before Stage Start event is triggered for a specified stage. 

The Success status is sent when the On Stage Completed event is triggered for a specified stage, or optionally when the On Build Pending Promotion event fires - whichever is first.

The Failure status is sent when the On Stage Completed event is triggered for a specified stage or On Build Stopping, On Build Completed events are triggered and the build has failed. 

Example use case

This event handler works fantastically as a pre-step within a pull request pipeline.  ContinuaCI can be configured to automatically pull the request, build it, test it, and report back its status.
