Switch branch for parent project in build process

Ray Lee_n349iz

hello,

Suppose I have two projects (one is parent, another one is child), when bamboo build "child" project, we want it to get source from "parent project" with same branch (e.g. if current branch of "child" project is "develop", then we want to get the source code of "parent" project in develop branch as well.

In Bamboo, is there any option to make this happen ? 

My colleague said need to use a simple git commands  (just like what needs to work in Jenkins) to get correct branch source code.

Would you help to give some hints on this ?

Thanks a lot,

Ray

Hi Ray,

I think what you are looking for is Build Plan Dependencies:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/setting-up-plan-build-dependencies-289276887.html

When you set this up Bamboo is intelligent enough to know that if you us the same branch name in both repositories for each plan it will run using that branch.

For Example:

In the "Parent" repository/build plan my main branch is "master", but before going to master I create a feature/ABC branch to do my work.

If I also have a feature/ABC branch in my "Child" repository/build plan, then Bamboo will automatically trigger the Child plan with the feature/ABC branch instead of always using master.

I hope that helps explain things.
