Bamboo Build Plan Triggers

Himanshu Rawat

Hi,

I am trying to use Bamboo Build Plan Triggers functionality for multiple repositories.

Below is the setup I have.

1. Build Plan --> Plan Configuration --> Repositories ( Added three repositories ). All three are NOT converted to linked repository.
2. Build Plan --> Plan Configuration --> Triggers.
   1. Added Trigger (Bitbucket Server repository triggered)
   2. Trigger configuration, checked all three repositories.
3. Build Plan --> Plan Configuration --> Branches
   1. Create Plan Branch --> When new branch in repository is created

Below bitbucket activity is done on the 3rd repository which is configured as above

1. Created a branch
2. Committed and Pushed changes to that branch.

I expected as per above setup, a plan branch build should trigger but it isn't happening.

What's happening is any activity defined above, done on 1st repository works.

So the 'trigger' functionality only works for first repository.

My Goal:

To add multiple repositories (which is done) and configure triggers on all repositories to trigger the same build plan when some activity (such as commit on a branch) is done on the repositories..

Please assist

Atlassian Bamboo version 6.6.3 build 60607 - 25 Sep 18

Atlassian Bitbucket v5.7.0

Thanks,

Himanshu

Hi @Himanshu Rawat

Bamboo plans will only create plan branches for the main repository. This is expected.
It is indeed a complex subject. If Bamboo created the branch as you expect, what would be the branch of other repositories in this build? Difficult to decide...

The current Bamboo design only has plan branches for the first repository and all other repositories will be set to use their default branch for builds. The branches can be manually adjusted for each plan branch.

There is a feature request to help to adjust this automatically:

• [BAM-19898] Plans braches using multiple repositories could automatically checkout them using the same source branch name.

The triggers should work for all of them, but from your description, I assume that you have plan branches defined like:

| Repository  | Plan branch | Repository Branch |
| Main Repo   | "Default"   | master            |
| Repo 2      |             | master            |
| Repo 3      |             | master            |

| Repository  | Plan branch | Repository Branch |
| Main Repo   | "Develop"   | develop           |
| Repo 2      |             | master            |
| Repo 3      |             | master            |

This is to say that if you commit in Repo 2 or 3, it will only trigger a build if the commit is happening in master (or whatever repository branch configured in the plan branches available).

Does that make any sense?
I'll wait for your comments.
