Import Bitbucket issues

Madelein van Niekerk requested to merge 412614-import-issues into master

What does this MR do and why?

Makes the BitBucket Cloud importer parallel instead of running sequentially in order to fix migration timeouts. This follows the same framework as the GitHub importer and the BitBucket Server importer.

The work is split into the following MRs:

The feature is behind bitbucket_parallel_importer feature flag so that it is safe to continue releasing bits without affecting the importer. The feature flag is controlled in lib/gitlab/import_sources.rb.

Important notes

  • The assignee of an issue is the same as the author of the issue since Bitbucket does not have assignees.
  • If a milestone exists with the same name as the milestone on Bitbucket, it's used, otherwise a new milestone is created.

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Follow https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/bitbucket.html to setup OAuth for BitBucket Cloud. You will need an account on https://bitbucket.org/. Make sure to add the bitbucket configuration in the development section of your config/gitlab.yml as shown at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/blob/main/doc/howto/gitlab-oauth2.md#set-up-gdk
  2. Create a project and repo on BitBucket. Create a few issues.
  3. Enable the feature flag: Feature.enable(:bitbucket_parallel_importer)
  4. On your gdk server, create a new project > click on Import project > Bitbucket Cloud > follow instructions to connect to https://bitbucket.org/.
  5. Import the project created in step 2.
  6. Verify that the issues were imported correctly.
  7. You can also view the importer logs to see when each step was executed or if there are errors: tail -f log/importer.log
