Schedule a build with Rest API

[Elifcan Çakmak]

Hello all,

Is there a way to schedule a Bamboo build using Rest API? (Or other ways besides the interface schedule)

What I need is to start a build at a certain time and a certain day provided by me.

Thanks in advance,

Elifcan

Hello @Elifcan Çakmak

There is no REST API endpoint that would allow you to book a build as the action queue action is immediate.

You can configure a Cron-Based Scheduled trigger using the UI, Java Specs or YAML Specs.

• Bamboo YAML Specs 
• Bamboo Java Specs
• Enabling repository-stored Bamboo Specs 

By using YAML Specs, the whole Plan configuration will have to be managed by YAML over Repository Stored Specs (RSS), including the Triggers. If using Java Specs, you can opt to use RSS just like YAML Specs or simply push the changes on demand to your plan using Maven.

Hi @Eduardo Alvarenga 

Thanks for your answer. Can you give me an example of how I can use the queue action of Rest API with an environment variable?

I want to run a customized build with overriding a variable with Rest API. It says in the documentation "Additional variables could be passed to this method either as form encoded POST payload or query parameters" But I don't see an example in the documentation.

Thanks in advance,

Elifcan

Hello @Elifcan Çakmak 

Try this:

• <Bamboo_URL>/rest/api/latest/queue/{projectKey}-{buildKey}?bamboo.variable.myVariable=valueForMyVariable

It is documented on this page:

• https://developer.atlassian.com/server/bamboo/rest/api-group-api/#api-api-latest-queue-projectkey-buildkey-post

Additional variables could be passed to this method either as form encoded POST payload or query parameters. PLEASE note: Query parameters are more important - override those stored in form payload. Variables defined in Bamboo as global variables or plan variables MUST be prefixed with bamboo.variable ie. bamboo.variable.myVariable=valueForMyVariable. When global or plan variables would be passed to this method, will override default values for variables.

Kind regards,
