Auto-detect Bamboo Specs

Question

Hi,

I've played around with Bamboo Specs and Bitbucket (both on-prem) and ran into the following problem.

When I add a Bamboo Spec to a repository, I have to create a build job on Bamboo manually. The behavior I expect it that Bamboo gets a trigger on a repo commit and checks if a Bamboo Spec is available. In that case a build plan should be created fully automatically.

Is this somehow possible?

Great that we understood each other :)

We are seeing more customers approaching this usage in Bamboo, you can track this suggestion at BAM-19718. If you have more remarks about your use-case, feel free to describe them in more details, knowing and understanding our customers problems are crucial for our prioritisation process.

Yes you understood correctly.

I'm using YAML specs. Currently my team has a few hundred repositories, so it a "transparent" build server would be really great.

I've hear from one of my engineers that other build systems provide this behavior. If Bamboo would provide this too, we could automate our build and deploy completely.

We have micro-service architecture, so build and deploy looks very similar for every project. We could just create a template with a Bamboo build spec and as as soon as it is in Bitbucket, the build and deploy would work.

Ok, you want Bamboo to automatically read every repository from your (linked?) Bitbucket Server and, if detected, run its Bamboo Specs. Did I understand you correctly?

Are you using YAML or Java Specs? Also, you got my curiosity on your need to create new repositories frequently, could you give some more details about that?
