bamboo auto plan branching limitations

john livingston

if our git repositories are Stash embedded (created through the Stash interface), is auto plan branching in bamboo possible? Or must plan branches be manually created?

Accepted answers

I upgraded to Bamboo 5.5.0 and have had success with auto plan branching from our Stash Git repositories.

The only gotcha I encountered was needing to remove url patterns from the app links area in order for the linked repositories Stash repo communication to function (populate the drop-down list of available repos and branches). And, indeed, the url pattern I removed was no longer necessary to receive triggered updates from Stash. The url pattern was the only one present.. so, in effect, I removed all url patterns.

I'm a proponent of 5.5.0.

You can specify a RegExp that will auto create the plan branches. But bamboo 5.5 is supposed to add more stash integration. Don't know what but it might be worthwhile to keep an eye out on it.

This does not really answer my question.

I understand that auto plan branching requires the entry of a regular expression for branch matching.

That capability is outlined on the doc page:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Using+plan+branches

However, further down on that page, a limitations section exists which states auto plan branching "Cannot be used with the Git implementation embedded in Bamboo. (You need to have set up native Git.)".

Our Git implementation is embedded in Stash (setup through a Stash interface). I was wondering if the same limitation applies - we are unable to use auto plan branching as our Git implementation is embedded in Stash.

And hopefully, I have my terminology correct which is (loosely) -

native Git - a Git repo setup via Git command line

Git implementation embedded in Bamboo - a Git repo setup via Bamboo iface

Git implementation embedded in Stash - a Git repo setup via Stash iface

John - the fact that you're using Stash means that you don't have "Git
implementation embedded in Bamboo", so you should be good.

We use Bamboo/Stash and have no issues with auto plan branch. Is your Bamboo not detecting new branches?

john livingston

Yes, I understand that our implementation is not "Git implementation embedded in Bamboo". My supposition was that we have "Git implementation embedded in Stash" and I was questioning whether that carried the same limitations.

Regardless, the upgrade to 5.5.0 solved whatever auto plan branching issue we were experiencing. Auto plan branching is now working for us. Thank you for checking back on this.
