How to share artifact from two different build plans of two repositories

Ray Lee_n349iz

Hi,

I guess this question may be asked before by other users, but I really need your assistance to complete a build of a program which has dependency on another program. These two programs are put into two different repositories, now, we need to setup "clean install" on  building program A and then program B can pick up program A from maven repositories within bamboo to continue its build. 

However, I want to find a way such that a jar is built from program A build plan and build plan of Program B picks up the jar as part of library to build. I think share artifact works like this. 

But I cannot find a correct documentation / example on doing this. Would you see if you can provide assistance on this ?

 

Thanks a lot,

Hi @Ray Lee

I don't think we have a document with a sequence of steps for this configuration, but we have documents about the features you need to use in order to accomplish this.

General steps:

1. Create plan A with the repository for plan A.
2. Configure its tasks in order to create the Jar you want as an artifact.
3. Create an artifact definition and configure it as shared and required.
   For the artifact creation: Configuring a job's build artifacts - Atlassian Documentation.
4. Create plan B with the repository for plan B.
5. Configure its tasks in order to build the second app. It needs to have the artifact download task right after the checkout task.
   For the artifact download configuration: Sharing artifacts - Atlassian Documentation.
6. Configure plan A to trigger plan B when a new build happens in A.
   For the build dependency configuration: Setting up plan build dependencies - Atlassian Documentation.

I hope the example above helps you to move forward. =]
