How I can access global and/or plan specific variables from python scripts, if they are called by a remote agent?

Michael Roettger

Hello. I'm currently evaluating Bamboo for our build equipment. We have mostly python scripts to run different steps. My current issue is, how I can access global and/or plan specific variables by the python scripts, if they are called by a remote agent?

I read your documentation about the usage of global variables but I don't see the link to python. I wouldn't like to use an environment variable because this must be defined for each task. I'm looking for a solution which works for a entire plan, where I can access e.g. on the subversion revision number or the build number.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Michael,

Bamboo wil pass down any build specific variable/global variable you have defined to your build. If you don't want to specify a global Bamboo variable then you can specify a plan specific variable as per;

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Defining+Plan+Variables

You can then access this variables using a simlar code;

import os
print  os.environ['foo']

Hope that help! Let me know if you have any question?

Regards

Ajay.

Hi Ajay. Thanks so far for the fast answer. To ensure I understand it right, if I create a bamboo variable called 'planx.myvariable' I can access on it by python with os.environ['planx.myvariable']? This would also mean, that I can access on bamboo specific variables like os.environ['bamboo.repository.revision.number']. Right? Regards Michael

Hi Michael, I converted your answer to a comment, since it's better placed here inline with Ajay's answer.
