What is the Yaml spec scan interval and is it configurable?

Sean Conlon

I'm using some Bamboo YAML Specs, and I can't find anywhere in the docs (or config) that explicitly states the interval that the Spec-enabled Link Repo is scanned for updates to a bamboo-specs/bamboo.yaml file. 

 

What is the Spec scan interval and is it configurable?  If configurable, where?

Thanks.

Hello @Sean Conlon

If you are using Bamboo Specs on a Bitbucket Server or Cloud repository, Bamboo will be notified automatically through the Application Link interface once a commit to the Specs code is pushed and will trigger the Specs scan.

If you are using a different Git repository type, you'll have to set webhooks to notify Bamboo about the change:

• Enabling repository-stored Bamboo Specs - Additional step for other repositories

Alternatively, if you are not using a Bitbucket Repository with an Application Link and don't want to enable a webhook for every repository, you can enable a Global RSS Polling scheduler that will scan all Specs-enabled Linked Repository at once on their default branches according to a cron entry. Configure the following property to your Bamboo configuration:

-Dbamboo.rss.polling.enabled=true

This is a global setting and needs to be used with caution as it may cause sudden network bursts on very busy systems with a high number of repositories.

After enabling the system property and restarting Bamboo, set a quartz cron schedule after enabling the following:

• Bamboo Administration >> General Configuration >> Enable polling for Repository Stored Specs changes
