@Zachary Boerner - Seems I have misread your question as related to Bitbucket Cloud, sorry about that. Bitbucket Server features a more versatile branching model, I have updated my answer accordingly.

in Change Branch Point for JIRA-created issues Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] October 2015

Update Seems I have misread your question as related to Bitbucket Cloud (despite the definite tag), sorry about that. Fortunately Bitbucket Server features a more pronounced Branching Model that makes it easy for each member of your team to use a branching workflow for your Git development process: Your workflow can be…

@Ramesh Ramalingam - thanks for clarifying, I think I'm on track now. You have encountered an easy to trip over usability flaw with passing nested JSON objects via task fields that expect any input formatted as JSON in turn. The TL;DR is that you need to escape the nested JSON object before passing it inside the JSON task…

in How to pass a json object as string to a variable Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] August 2016

@Ramesh Ramalingam - thank you for using our add-ons. I've just confirmed that our resp. integration test for the referenced How to still work as documented. Accordingly, the MalformedJsonException you are encountering is hinting on this being caused by an actual JSON syntax error, specifically a missing brace…

in How to pass a json object as string to a variable Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] August 2016

Update Bamboo does not parse variable content in any way, i.e. the content is always just a string. The problem you are encountering is passing a JSON string as a parameter to AWS CloudFormation via the AWS CloudFormation Stack task, which expects those parameters to be passed into the Parameters field as a JSON string in…

in How to pass a json object as string to a variable Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] August 2016

Unfortunately this often requested functionality is not available yet and subject of various related (and partially overlapping/duplicate) issues accordingly, which you might want to watch/vote/comment on to further raise awareness for this limitation - for example (in descending order of votes): *…

in Bamboo daily trigger initiated build on all the branches in the plan. Is it possible to configure trigger to only initiate build on a main branch? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] April 2016

@Dan Rumney - my answer is complete now. Sorry for the iterative approach, but I encountered the odd restriction that "Your post was rejected because it contains blacklisted words", and the resulting post is now word by word identical to the one that I wanted to submit in the first place, alas ...

in Is there a way to merge Confluence Question topics? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] September 2015

I'm not aware of a built-in way to achieve this - accordingly, depending on the number of questions in your topic(s), it might be easiest to just visit them manually and adjust the topics as required. However, in case you have too many questions for a manual approach, there is an experimental (!) Confluence Questions REST…

in Is there a way to merge Confluence Question topics? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] September 2015

This is possible with the Bamboo Script task, which allows you to use Bash on Linux, and batch files on Windows - accordingly, you just need to call the .exe file from a batch file turn, or even simpler, just select the location of the script file as Inline and specify the .exe file right there: * File — enter the location…

in Can we trigger .exe file from Bamboo? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] August 2015

This disparity between hung build and hung deployment project handling seems to be an oversight indeed - you might want to watch and vote for the following related improvements to guide Atlassian's roadmap in this regard: * https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-14520 * https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-15920

in Ability to determine if a Deployment is stuck (and stop it) - Builds have this feature Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] August 2016

This should work just fine by following the resp. instructions to link JIRA to Bitbucket Cloud and Bitbucket Server, i.e. both are independent configurations that shouldn't interfere as such - as a result developers will see a 'Where do you want to create the branch?' dialog when selecting 'Create branch' from the…

in Can I connect 2 bitbuckets (1 cloud and 1 server) to jira? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] March 2016

I've just outlined a potential workaround, only to stumble over the apparent lack of an actual Bitbucket Pipelines API - presumably this is just not officially documented yet (the GUI needs to manage environment variables too after all)? In other words, is a documented and supported Bitbucket Pipelines API in the pipeline…

in Pipelines: Pulling docker images from a Amazon ECR repository Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] June 2016

As already mentioned by Jeroen (+1), the required Amazon ECR credentials are valid for 12 hours only, see Registry Authentication for details: [...] you must authenticate your Docker client another way so that Amazon ECR knows who is requesting to push or pull an image. If you are using the Docker CLI, then use the docker…

in Pipelines: Pulling docker images from a Amazon ECR repository Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] June 2016

This can be achieved via the advanced option Include/Exclude Files when you Configure a Bitbucket source repository in Bamboo: Allows you to specify the files that Bamboo should, or should not, use to detect changes. Enter into File Pattern a regular expression to match the files that Bamboo includes or excludes. The regex…

in A method to have Bamboo ignore a specific file when polling for changes Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] September 2015

Good point, didn't realize that (am only a JSD user myself) - presumably they are expecting the reporter himself or a service desk agent to manually add the reporter as an approver for the time being.

in In JSD how can I set the reporter as approver of the work done on the ticket? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] May 2016

@Robert Lagus - sorry for the additional blurb in my initial answer (since deleted), please just ignore it: it had still been in my clipboard ring when I pasted the issue key and I didn't notice that I accidentally pasted it under the fold.

in In JSD how can I set the reporter as approver of the work done on the ticket? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] May 2016

This is not yet possible - please watch and vote for the following recent suggestion from the JSD team to increase their priority for this use case: * https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSD-3729

in In JSD how can I set the reporter as approver of the work done on the ticket? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] May 2016

As already mentioned, this information isn't available via the REST API yet. You might want to watch and vote for the following improvement to guide Atlassian's priority for addressing this surprising limitation: * https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-15870

in Does the Bamboo REST API support querying branch scheduled run times? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] July 2016

You can always download any add-on separately from the Marketplace and upload it locally via the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) as outlined in Managing add-ons: Bitbucket Server comes with many pre-installed add-ons (called system add-ons). You can install more add-ons, either by acquiring the add-on from the Atlassian…

Unfortunately Bamboo still does not offer webhooks as of today, please vote/watch/comment on the resp. feature request https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-14321 to raise awareness for this surprising limitation (given webhooks are meanwhile first class features and powerful extension points in JIRA and Bitbucket…

in Webhooks in Bamboo? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] October 2015

It seems the Confluence team has merged the issues for the major supported add-ons back into the Confluence (CONF) project itself, see the components that start with 'Add-on - ...', e.g. Add-ons - Confluence Questions. I don't know about the rationale behind this move, but while there are the usual oversights like the…

in Why can't I see the Confluence Questions project anymore in Atlassian JIRA? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] March 2017

Yes, you need to update the version of Bamboo to one that is identical or newer to the one that has been used to create the data in your Bamboo home directory - from this question I'm inferring that build 4306 equals the meanwhile unsupported Bamboo version 5.5.1, so you'd need to use at least release 5.6.0 to still run a…

in Bamboo Error : You cannot access Bamboo at present. Look at the table below to identify the reasons: Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] June 2016

Good question - briefly checking the available REST API versions suggests that this has indeed just been added to the Bamboo 5.10.2 API recently, i.e. previous versions still lack the /agent resource, surprisingly.

in How to get the list of all Bamboo agents via REST Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] April 2016

REST API Documentation Status The Bamboo REST API guide is a bit confusing/misleading currently, insofar the Bamboo REST resources reference guide linked from the Getting Started section is incomplete/outdated. The current REST API documentation is only referred to from an info tip on that page in turn: API reference for…

Luckily Bitbucket Cloud gained U2F support a few weeks ago already, see Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) now supported in Bitbucket Cloud for details. I'm not aware of any current U2F initiatives regarding other Atlassian products, though there more general 2FA related issues where U2F has at least been mentioned in the comments…

Configuring Bamboo to send SMTP Email for build results and related events is a two step process: * Configure Bamboo to send SMTP email (see below). * Configure a plan to send SMTP email notifications about build results (see Configuring notifications for a plan and its jobs). You have successfully completed step 1 - is it…

in Atlassian Bamboo not sending emails Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] March 2016

Bamboo has built-in support for various builder tasks, including Ant and Maven (and can be extended with additional ones via add-ons available on the Atlassian Marketplace): A builder task allows you to connect your Bamboo plan (or job) to a build tool such as Ant, Maven or MSBuild. The build tool uses its existing…

in Is there plugins available for Ant and Maven in Bamboo and how to integrate them..? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] August 2015

Though I'm not familiar with behat, it seems it is capable of writing test results in the popular JUnit format: behat supports 6 formatters out of the box: * ... * junit - generates a report similar to Ant+JUnit. * ... Bamboo supports various tests tasks (amongst them also PHPUnit, but I think it won't help here), and…

in How do I generate test results from a script task in bamboo Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] August 2015

Unfortunately you seem to be affected by a presumably trivial bug in how Bamboo handles this edge case, which Atlassian hasn't managed to address in almost two years: * https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-14756 That being said, I highly recommend to simply contact Atlassian's support (specifically via the Purchasing &…

in How to update the Bamboo from evaluation to starter license when having more than 10 jobs? Comment by Steffen Opel [Utoolity] June 2016

The main functional difference with Bamboo Cloud is that it doesn't support 3rd party add-ons, including Tasks for AWS (see our resp. FAQ Will Tasks for AWS be available for Bamboo Cloud? for details) - I tend to ask that first because the required answer might turn out to be entirely different accordingly (though not for…
