How can I force Bamboo to re-scan the automatic branch detection for SVN?

[Mark McD]

I'm using Bamboo 4.2's sweet new automatic branch detection for Subversion (which is awesome, by the way) and according to the on-screen information, the detection is run daily at 3am.

How can I manually force this detection to occur at my whim?

Hi Mark,

Really great to hear you love the Branch Detection for Subversion!

The cleanup of old branches is run at 3am while the detection for new branches is run ever 5 minutes.

Did you create a new branch in Subversion and Bamboo did not detect the new branch? Is it available in the list of branches when you manually create a branch?

Thanks
James

Turns out it was a combination of misreading and misunderstanding. The branches hadn't appeared but I was expecting that new commits to existing branches would be picked up. I've added them manually now and all is well. New branches are appearing fine. Thanks!

I am having the same problem, i am using subversion and bamboo (v 4.4.0). My branch structure is something like this {svn_host}/api/branches/TICKET-19.

The value (in branches configuration tab) for "Only create branches that match" is "TICKET-*

I have checked the logs (altassian-bamboo.log) and there is nothing helpful. Plan ID is API-APIEPIC

Here are the logs:
