Trigger or start a new build on a bamboo plan using rest api from a powershell script

[Suguna Tejaswini Nandakumara]

In order to do the trigger I am using the below powershell commands(Also I don't want to use the username password for auth, is there any other way to to that? may be using a PAT or something):

$url = "https://<host>/rest/api/latest/queue/<ProjectKey>-<BuildKey>"
$header = @{
"Content-Type"="application/json"
}
$body = @{
"Authorization"="Bearer <Key>"
} | ConvertTo-Json

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri ([Uri]$url) -Method Post -Headers $header -body $body

But I keep getting the below error:

Invoke-RestMethod : Unable to connect to the remote server..

What am I missing in the above line..or is there any other way to achieve this?

Hello Suguna,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

You can use the use the below 2 links to get more information about this, instead of using userid password you can generate PAT tokens. 

1. https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-bamboo/REST/8.2.5/#d2e5904

2. https://developer.atlassian.com/server/bamboo/using-the-bamboo-rest-apis/

Sample example ( replace the appropriate values accordingly )

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer NDc4NDkyNDg3ODE3OstHYSeYC1UgXqRacSqvUbookcZk" POST http://localhost:8085/rest/api/latest/queue/PROJECTKEY-PLANKEY

Thank you for the details.

I tried doing below, by adding a powershell script task in a build plan.

$token = "<PAT>"
$headers = @{
Authorization="Bearer $token"
}
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Headers $headers -Uri "http://localhost:8085/rest/api/latest/queue/<PROJECTKEY-PLANKEY>"

I still get the error as below:

Invoke-RestMethod : Unable to connect to the remote server

Hello Suguna,

I was able to trigger a REST API with the exact same configurations, example below

$token = "acd"
$headers = @{
Authorization="Bearer $token"
}
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Headers $headers -Uri "http://localhost:8085/rest/api/latest/queue/BAM-BOO"

I think the error which are getting  Invoke-RestMethod : Unable to connect to the remote server , i think localhost is not being able to resolve by the agent where you are running the builds.

Are you running this on a local agent or a remote agent and can you see if the URL you have put for your Bamboo Instance is correct?

Hi,

Yes the URL is correct. May be its because of the authentication issues.

I will look into the link you have added.

Thanks and regards,
