Triggering a dependent plan to finish before continuing on current plan.

[J.R. Hass]

I have two plans in bamboo, library plan and application plan.

Application plan depends on library plan, and copies over its artifact. When I trigger App plan to build, I'd like it to build library plan first before copying over the artifact.

I know I can make library plan a "parent" of application plan, but then I have to trigger library plan first when building application. Library plan should not have to know about application plan.

I just want to be able to trigger Application plan and have it automagically build library plan. Is this possible?

For your scenario you might consider using Artifact Downloader Task that will download selected artifacts from the latest build of a given plan to your working directory. Considering that library plan builds after each change of library code this should provide most recent version of library to your application plan.

Not a bad idea! I'm currently using the artifact copy; I wash hoping there would be an option to say "build artifact first" so that I'm guaranteed a fresh copy.

The library plan is set to manual. I suppose I could just set it to build with triggers, but I’d be nice if the App plan could just trigger it itself.

Thank you!
