Is there an environment variable shared by all jobs of a given stage in Bamboo?

Hi,

I'm using Bamboo environment variables to link various jobs together.

Given the following plan:

- Stage 1

- Job 1-1

- Job 1-2

- Stage 2

- Job 2-1

- Job 2-2

I can use `bamboo_planName` to get all the jobs for a given plan. This env var is available when the 4 `Job 1-1`, `Job 1-2`, `Job 2-1`, `Job 2-2` jobs execute.

I can also use `bamboo_buildPlanName`, to uniquely identify a given job across executions. I can use this to link together all executions of `Job 1-1` for instance.

Is there something similar for stages ? I'd like to be able to group via this mean all jobs for a given stage, say `Stage 1`. I would like to have an env var that is shared by `Job 1-1`, `Job 1-2` only, and *NOT* `Job 2-1`, `Job 2-2`.

Did I miss something ?

Hi @François Guillot,

As far as I can tell we can't get that from variables.
I have a different suggestion for you. Get the plan key (it could be from a variable) and use a REST API:

curl -u admin:admin -H 'Accept: application/json' \
     -X GET <BAMBOO-SERVER_URL>/rest/api/latest/search/jobs/<PLAN-KEY> \
     | jq -r '.searchResults[]|" JobKey: " + .searchEntity.key + "\tStageName: " + .searchEntity.stageName'

⚠️Please notice that I used JQ - https://stedolan.github.io/jq/.

Expected outcome:

JobKey: MISC-STAG-JOB1   StageName: Default Stage
JobKey: MISC-STAG-JOB2   StageName: Default Stage
JobKey: MISC-STAG-JOB3   StageName: stage2
JobKey: MISC-STAG-JOB4   StageName: stage2

The will help you to know from which stage your JOBs are.
I hope that helps.

@Daniel Santos Great idea

I can make use of that

I tried to look at the REST API documentation, but couldn't find the '/rest/api/latest/search/jobs/' one ?

Is it not public yet ?

I would like to refine the query to get only a given job.

Basically I know the plan and the job, and I want the stage this jobs belongs too

Also, I tried

${bambooUrl}/rest/api/latest/search/jobs/${planKey}?searchTerm=${jobName}

but it's a 'startsWIth' search, meaning that if several jobs starts with the 'jobName', I get several results.

Could we get around that. Or find a way to pass the job key instead (which is unique) ? Passing the job key doesn't seem to work

Nonetheless, I think it would be great if Bamboo was providing something (like an env var) in future versions, as calling the API on each build brings a little overhead that could easily be avoided.
