Enabling repository-stored Bamboo Specs
Storing Bamboo Specs in a repository allows you to keep your project configuration together with the code and automatically publish any code changes. It also gives you access to the history of plan specifications and makes it easy to revert to a particular moment in time.
Repository-stored Bamboo Specs are natively supported in Bitbucket Data Center and Server and Bitbucket Cloud repositories. To use repository-stored Bamboo Specs with other types of repositories (including Git, GitHub, and Subversion), set up webhooks to trigger Bamboo to scan for changes to Specs.
Before you begin
Make sure that:
- native Git is installed
- you have access to the Maven central repository
Enable repository-stored Bamboo Specs in Bitbucket Data Center and Server and Bitbucket Cloud
To enable repository-stored Bamboo Specs:
- In the upper-right corner of the screen, selectAdministration> Linked repositories.
Select your repository.
In the Bamboo Specs tab, enable Scan for Bamboo Specs.
Bamboo Specs from this repository will be able to modify your plans and deployments in Bamboo. Make sure that write permissions to this repository are properly set in Bitbucket Data Center and Server or Bitbucket Cloud as any commit to this repository will refresh Bamboo configuration.
In the Access section, select which projects Bamboo Specs can access and decide if Bamboo Specs should be allowed to create new build and deployment projects.
Enable project-level repositories using repository-stored Bamboo Specs
If the repository is defined within a project, it can be used to create/update plans within that project. For configurations outside the project, linked repositories need to be used. BAM-21632 - Getting issue details... STATUS
Use webhooks with other repository types
Webhooks allow repositories other than Bitbucket Data Center and Server and Bitbucket Cloud to communicate with Bamboo (including Git, GitHub, and Subversion).
The following is an example of a webhook request using curl for a Git repository:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/curl -X POST -H "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" http://[BAMBOO_URL]/bamboo/rest/api/latest/repository/scan\?repositoryId\=[REPOSITORY_ID]
Once you set up a webhook for a repository, it sends the HTTP request to Bamboo with every new commit. This HTTP request, in turn, triggers Bamboo Specs scan repository to see if there are any changes to Specs. If Bamboo detects any changes in a repository, it automatically updates necessary plans and deployments. Learn more about setting up webhooks.
