Understanding Comments vs Tasks Relationship

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                        PR Review                            │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Comments (inline feedback on code)                         │
│  ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐   │
│  │ Comment #1: "Why lowercase?" (file.ts:29)           │   │
│  │ Comment #2: "Add to tiny-specs" (file.ts:8)         │   │
│  │ Comment #3: "Fix typo" (test.ts:15) [no task]       │   │
│  └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘   │
│                           │                                 │
│                           ▼                                 │
│  Tasks (actionable items to track)                          │
│  ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐   │
│  │ Task #1: "Separate model" → linked to Comment #1    │   │
│  │ Task #2: "Move dto's to tiny-specs" → Comment #2    │   │
│  │ Task #3: "Fix formatting" → standalone (no comment) │   │
│  └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Relationships:

1. Task with comment: Task has comment.id field linking to specific comment
2. Standalone task: Task without comment field (general action item)
3. Comment without task: Nice-to-have suggestions, not tracked as required work

Common Workflows

Fetch All PR Review Data

# 1. Get PR info
PR_INFO=$(curl -s --user "${BITBUCKET_USER}:${BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD}" \
  'https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repo}/pullrequests/{pr_id}')

# 2. Get comments
COMMENTS=$(curl -s --user "${BITBUCKET_USER}:${BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD}" \
  'https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repo}/pullrequests/{pr_id}/comments')

# 3. Get tasks
TASKS=$(curl -s --user "${BITBUCKET_USER}:${BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD}" \
  'https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repo}/pullrequests/{pr_id}/tasks')

Parse with jq

# Extract comment summaries
echo "$COMMENTS" | jq '.values[] | {id, text: .content.raw, file: .inline.path, line: .inline.to, author: .user.display_name}'

# Extract unresolved tasks with linked comments
echo "$TASKS" | jq '.values[] | select(.state == "UNRESOLVED") | {id, task: .content.raw, comment_id: .comment.id}'

# Count unresolved tasks
echo "$TASKS" | jq '[.values[] | select(.state == "UNRESOLVED")] | length'

Error Handling

Common errors:

• 401: Invalid credentials
• 403: Missing required scopes
• 404: Repository/PR not found

Check permissions:

{
  "type": "error",
  "error": {
    "message": "Your credentials lack one or more required privilege scopes.",
    "detail": {
      "required": ["read:pullrequest:bitbucket"],
      "granted": ["admin:repository:bitbucket"]
    }
  }
}
