Using global, plan or build-specific variables

Which variable should I use in order to find the current build directory?

Is there an explicit list somewhere of the Bamboo variables?

The available variables are listed above. If you need other variables that represent bamboo parameters you can make them available via a plugin and persist them as custom.<my-variable>.

Could I possibly get an nant example?  And is there anything special to be done in order to pass values back to Bamboo? 

Hi

I cannot access bamboo.custom.svn.revision.number varaible in my ant scripts.

any suggestion welcome

regards

Hi

I finally got it work using this way:

in the builder tab, add the following parameter to the ant script (in "target" field)

-Dmy.svn.revision=${bamboo.custom.svn.revision.number}

then in my ant script I can reference those variable using

$env.my.svn.revision

et voilà

regards

Hi,

Is-it possible to know the current user (how is executing the build) via the build-specific variables?

I try to use the builder 'ant' to send an email on behalf of this user...

Thanks,

Bruno

I did the following test: Send an email with substitution

1. I have a plan with ant as builder.

2. System Env Variables: -Dmy.bamboo.buildKey=${bamboo.buildKey} -Dmy.bamboo.buildNumber=${bamboo.buildNumber} -Dmy.bamboo.buildPlanName=${bamboo.buildPlanName} -Dmy.bamboo.buildTimeStamp=${bamboo.buildTimeStamp}

3. build.xml

<project name="My Build" default="war" basedir=".">
    <target name="init">
        <property file="build.properties" />
        <property environment="env" />
    </target>
    
    <target name="request" depends="init" description="Send an email with bamboo vars">
	    <mail from="me@company.com" tolist="me@company.com" messagefile="Test.txt" subject="Test var bamboo"/> 
    </target>
</project>

4. Test.txt

Testing bamboo variables
bamboo.buildKey = ${env.my.bamboo.buildKey}
bamboo.buildNumber = ${env.my.bamboo.buildNumber}
bamboo.buildPlanName = ${env.my.bamboo.buildPlanName}
bamboo.buildTimeStamp = ${env.my.bamboo.buildTimeStamp}

5. Result

Testing bamboo variables
bamboo.buildKey = SDBX-SDBX
bamboo.buildNumber = 12
bamboo.buildPlanName = ${bamboo.buildPlanName}
bamboo.buildTimeStamp = ${bamboo.buildTimeStamp}

7. Remarks

Only buildKey and buildNumber are replaced by their value.

Is-it a bug or one undocumented feature?

We use bamboo version 2.4.2 build 1602

In the bamboo  I am entering 

cmcc_opts="D:/myworkspace" in the system variables. I am trying to fetch the variable from ant as ${system.cmcc_opts}

But this is not returning me the correct result. Please suggest me some solution

It would be nice if the table had a column about which Bamboo versions support the variable. It seems my current version does not have "custom.svn.lastchange.revision.number"...

The buildKey now gives the composite plan-job name, not the plan name.

e.g. "<myplan>-JOB1" by default

It would be good if we could still get the actual plan name.

If documentation isn't kept up-to-date and isn't correct for many versions of the tool, what is the point of the documentation?

Is there a way to get JUST the plan name?   

buildPlanName returns "Some Project name - Some plan name" and I need ONLY the plan name.

Hi, What is the bamboo property represent current user logged in? I want to pass the property to ant script to let the ant script know who is running the script. thanks very much

I am looking to implement a link to the bamboo build page inside our application, to allow users to easily see what issues are fixed in the build and which features are added ...

Is there a way to get to the actual bamboo root URL? With that I can manage to add the other path parts up to the relevant plan & build number.
The only thing I can think of is define the root URL as a global variable, but wouldn't it be nice to have this built in?

thanks 

How can you access Bamboo plan or global variables from a shell script task?
