INFO [17-BAM::SpecsDetection:pool-24-thread-3] [YamlSpecsImportServiceImpl] Bamboo YAML import failed on incorrect YAML
com.atlassian.bamboo.specs.yaml.YamlSpecsValidationException: Plan with name: 'My Test plan' already exists in project 'BAM'. Can't create a new one with same name.Cause
The problem is that the name which is provided for the plan in the specs file, similar plan already exists on the Bamboo server with the same name, so Bamboo will throw exception as highlighted in the diagnosis section. Bamboo expects a distinct key and a name if we are trying to create a YAML RSS plan.
Solution
We need to provide a distinct name and the key for the plan which we are trying to create via YAML specs, need to modify the below section of the YAML file.
