Get PR Target Branch

[Jake He]

Hi,

I want to get the branch's PR's target branch.

This variable `bamboo.repository.pr.targetBranch` gives ${bamboo.repository.pr.targetBranch}: bad substitution

[Alexey Chystoprudov · Accepted solution]

This variable available only for plan branches which were created when PR opened at repository. Please be sure you have this option selected at Plan branch management screen 

[Jake He]

I don't have that option.

How did you get to that page.

[Alexey Chystoprudov]

It's available if default repository of plan supports PR: Bitbucket Server or Cloud 

[Jake He]

I use PR in Bitbucket Cloud. Is there a special button I need to click?

[Alexey Chystoprudov]

What type of repository configured at Bamboo? It should be Bitbucket Cloud repo, not regular Git repository

[Jake He]

The repo was using git. I have not changed it to Bitbucket Cloud.

I still get the same error

`line 2: ${bamboo.repository.pr.targetBranch}: bad substitution`

[Jake He]

I can see the PR option at the Plan branch management screen 

I have selected it. Still same error

[Alexey Chystoprudov]

You're on good path. Once you have repo with Bitbucket Cloud type and enabled option to create plan branch when PR opened.

Next time Bamboo detects pull request at repo it will create plan branch, every build at this plan branch will have variables you mentioned.

PR detection occurs every 3 minutes

Now I have another problem. After I change the repo. It is not checking out the branch. It is only on master.

Sorry now it is working.
