How do I establish the Build Timestamp during a deploy?

[Michael Heyns]

During build I am storing information to a remote server in a direcory

/path/December-2016/BUILD-PLAN-KEY/

I would like to retrieve this during Deploy.

The Bamboo variable bamboo.buildTimeStamp is not available.

Is there any way for me to deduce the month-year value of a past build?

Hello Michael,

This variable (bamboo.buildTimeStamp) is available to builds not deployments.

The are a few things you could do:

1. create an artifact with the result of (bamboo.buildTimeStamp) and consume it in your deployment
2. run an REST API call (https://docs.atlassian.com/bamboo/REST/5.14.1/#d2e439) from a Script task and parsing its result

http://localhost:8085/rest/api/latest/result/${bamboo.buildResultKey}.json
