carpediemevive Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'm attempting to get the Automatic Branching feature of Bamboo working with Plastic, but it doesn't seem to be functioning. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, and I can't find any log files to tell me what it's doing at all. I found this post: http://codicesoftware.blogspot.com/2012/02/setting-up-bamboo-server-to-test-task.html but it's from two years ago and Bamboo has changed a bit since then. Still, I tried using the BRANCH_NAME identifier for the name of the branch, but it was unsuccessful. Is this feature supported in the Plastic plugin in?

manu Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hi! It should work fine, we have customers using it, make sure you are using the latest plugin. You can even compile and use the latest by downloading the code here: https://bitbucket.org/Ravelus/plasticscm-bamboo-plugin Latest fixes to the bamboo feature branches were done by the Atlassian guys.

carpediemevive Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I wish there were some log files on the Bamboo server that would let me diagnose what's going on. Right now I just make a change, wait ten minutes, see it if worked, and if it didn't I try something else. I have the repository I'm interested in setup as the default repository for the plan. I set the Repository Name, the repository server, and the Branch is set to "/main". Should I remove the branch setting? Should it be set to something else?

carpediemevive Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I got it to create branched for me. I had to leave "/main" in as the branch in the repository setup; it wouldn't accept an empty string. Looking through the code, it looks like it searches for "open" branches off of this branch, so for me, that works perfectly. I also adjusted the "Only create branches that match" to ".*" to match everything. I guess this is the step that I screwed it up on, but I'm not sure how. I don't really know how I want to use this feature yet (I'm still experimenting), but I'll probably revisit this later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
