How can I get the repositoryId in the Bamboo CLI

[Yongjun Rong]

When I try to clone a plan and I need change the subversion repository for different plan. But it also need specify the repositoryId when I try to "updateRepository". I would like to have automation way to get the repositoryId. Is it possible do it via this CLI?

Thank you.

Hi:

As workarround we execute a HTTP GET to:

http://<my_host>:8085/chain/admin/config/editChainRepository.action?os_username=<my_user>&os_password=<my_password>&planKey=<my_playkey>

using:

<my_host>: your bamboo host:

<my_user>: your bamboo user

<my_password>: your bamboo password

<my_plankey>: is the combination "PROJECT-PLAN" for your project ('-' must be included).

Then you can parse the response and search for repositoryId.

I only test this on bamboo 4.4.5, but maybe works on others versions.

Good idea! Although I had to use buildKey instead of planKey for the releases I was testing with (4.2 and 5.0 EAP). Translating that into CLI terms, you can use:

--action renderRequest --quiet --request "/chain/admin/config/editChainRepository.action?buildKey=XXX-DEF" --findReplaceRegex ".*repositoryId=(\d+).*:\$1"

To get:
37159110

That only gets the first repository.

Thanks Bob:

Just as a side note, on windows I had to remove the "\" scape character from \$ on:
.*repositoryId=(\d+).*:\$1

So the final sentence that works on windows will be:

--action renderRequest --quiet --request "/chain/admin/config/editChainRepository.action?buildKey=XXX-DEF" --findReplaceRegex ".*repositoryId=(\d+).*:$1"

If you don't have an id already, click on: Create an account

Thanks for your quick response. But need another getRepositoryId when specify and plan key and the repo name. No, I will try to access the db directly to get the id as a tempaory workaround.

I cannot use the addRepository because the repository is cloned when I try to clonePlan. I need updateRepository. Or when after clonePlan, it will be great if it can return the repositoryId

I will open an issue. Thank you again.

There isn't a way to list existing ones currently. Open an issue. If you run addRepository, then the repository id is returned on the command.
