bamboo rest api v6.9.0 end point /deploy/version/{deploymentVersionId}/status not working

Question

Hi,

we are using bamboo 6.9.0 build 60909 and we are using bamboo rest api.
I used this end point do collection versions for a deployment project
https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-bamboo/REST/6.9.0/#d2e3660
/rest/api/latest/deploy/project/481296387/versions
here is sample of the answer:
{
"id": 482377824,
"name": "branch:release-build:1-deployment:431",
"creationDate": 1619711358513,
"creatorUserName": "fcuret",
"items": [],
"operations": {
"canView": true,
"canEdit": true,
"canDelete": true,
"allowedToExecute": false,
"canExecute": false,
"allowedToCreateVersion": true,
"allowedToSetVersionStatus": true
},
"creatorDisplayName": "Florent Curet",
"creatorGravatarUrl": "https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e05c1feda2a86fb2b06d867ef761e48c.jpg?r=g&s=24&d=mm",
"planBranchName": "release",
"ageZeroPoint": 1619774322218
}
as an item part of a versions json array
all good with this call.

then I try to get the status related to this version id with
https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-bamboo/REST/6.9.0/#d2e811
/rest/api/latest/deploy/version/482377824/status
but the answer was
{"message":"Deployment version with id 482,377,824 not found","status-code":404}

In bamboo client, I think the equivalent call is
/deploy/viewDeploymentVersion.action?versionId=482377824
which works

Any idea what I am doing wrong with the /deploy/version/{deploymentVersionId}/status end point, please?

best regards and thanks for reading,

Florent Curet

Hello @Florent Curet ,

The approval is done by a Delivery Lead, through the GUI, so that one person from the DevOps teams can start the deployment.

Yes endpoint to set approved/broken exists (you can look at the Bamboo rest api doc)

The script https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-15082?focusedCommentId=893172&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-893172 works and I was finally be able to programmatically check if the release is approved or not.

got it, interesting this approved/broken status on (release) versions. I never dive into this.
Unfortunately I do not know if there are any other end point providing such level of information. If you find out please post a reply...
May I ask who (validation team or product team...) or what (jira / ticket related to release management) is approving (release) versions in your company? Is there any end point to set a (release) version as approved or broken?

Hello @Florent Curet ,

Unfortunately I really need the /deploy/version/{deploymentVersionId}/status, as it's the only API (AFAIK) that indicates if a release has been approved or not (see this open ticket from 2014 (!) https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-15082

And I would like to script that so that when we deploy, we can check first if this has been approved and stop the deployment if it's not.
