Bamboo maven task is failing when I add -Dsome_variable=${bamboo.variable} into maven goal field

Marcos Fernandez April 22, 2019

Dear all,

I am trying to inject into the maven build a variable value according to Bamboo information:

You can then specify the following in the Goal field of your build plan:

clean package -DbambooBuildNumber=${bamboo.buildNumber}

 

Unfortunatelly Bamboo maven task is failing when I add any Bamboo variable using -Dsome_variable=${bamboo.variable} into the maven goal field. If I replace ${bamboo.variable} for any other value it works fine. The build log says:

[ERROR] No goals have been specified for this build. You must specify a valid lifecycle phase or a goal in the format <plugin-prefix>:<goal> or <plugin-group-id>:<plugin-artifact-id>[:<plugin-version>]:<goal>. Available lifecycle phases are: validate, initialize, generate-sources, process-sources, generate-resources, process-resources, compile, process-classes, generate-test-sources, process-test-sources, generate-test-resources, process-test-resources, test-compile, process-test-classes, test, prepare-package, package, pre-integration-test, integration-test, post-integration-test, verify, install, deploy, pre-clean, clean, post-clean, pre-site, site, post-site, site-deploy. -> [Help 1]

 nevertheless the log says previously :

Substituting variable: ${bamboo.variable} with Some Value

Could you please tell me why is not working ?

thanks

Not 100% positive on this one, but the Maven command line is sensitive to formatting/parsing issues in general, and for property definitions in particular (also depends on OS and shell of course), so I'm usually enclosing them in quotes as soon as I encounter a problem, e.g.:

clean package -D"bambooBuildNumber=${bamboo.buildNumber}"

This usually addresses the problem for me, have you tried that already?

Hi Steffen,

thanks for you help! It worked fine :)  I didn´t try that option.

Regards.
