how to do automatic branch creation for very new commit.

[Niharbabu]

Hi All,

Currently  i have choose a create option as "When new branch in repository is created" to create a branch automatically under a plan and delete option as "After branch inactivity in repository".

My situation:

Currently say Branch B1 is created in bit bucket same get created under my plan. Due to inactivity of the branch for say day which is the value i configured for option "After branch inactivity in repository" B1 gets deleted. Say after 3 days od branch deletion under the plan in bamboo there is a commit or merge happens to B1, now i want this branch B1 to be added again under the plan.

Currently I see that B1 doesn't get added.  Is there a way that i can add a branch automatically into plan if there is commit happen?

Hey Niharbabu,

I'm afraid not. There's an improvement request detailing the same behavior you've described which I've included below:

• BAM-12161: Deleted plans are not remade when code is pushed to existing branch.

Once this improvement request is implemented, it'll be possible. Please feel free to vote and watch it so you're notified of any updates.

There's two workarounds, which I understand are far from ideal, but are the only options within Bamboo for now:

• Override branch expiry settings and set less aggressive branch expiry thresholds specifically on plans where the branch may be left inactive for some time.
• Clean the branch deletion date from the database and manually re-create it. Steps are detailed below:
  • BAM-16341: Bamboo doesn't recognise when a deleted branch is recreated in the remote repo

Regards,

Jeremy
