Summary

This method that we are going to refer to now uses the 'Final Task' in the deployment to trigger a dedicated plan. It has a plan's job to fetch the status of each task that was run during the deployment. The advantage of this approach is that we can parse the output logs and use the information for several purposes. For example, we can update Jira with the status of the deployment and the status of each individual task. If a failure occurs, we can determine which task caused the error.

The benefit of using a single plan to retrieve and parse the logs to later update Jira lies in its reusability. You can establish multiple deployments and reuse the same plan to update Jira every time, provided that the script to parse the results is robust enough. This strategy encourages efficiency and consistency across all your deployments.

Environment

The implementation was tested on version 9.2.4, but it's likely to function with other versions as well.

Solution

Step 1 - Add a final Task

In the final task you should add this script task:

1 2 versionid=$(echo ${bamboo.resultsUrl} | sed 's/.*= *//') curl -k -u admin:pwdadmin -X POST "http://localhost/bamboo/rest/api/latest/queue/PROJ-NX?bamboo.variable.versionid=${versionid}" 

Here's an explanation of what the command does:

  • versionid=$(echo ${bamboo.resultsUrl} | sed 's/.*= *//')`:

This shell command assigns the value of the variable `versionid`. It takes the value of the `bamboo.resultsUrl` variable, prints it, and then pipes that output to `sed`, the stream editor.

  • The `sed 's/.*= *//'` command is a regular expression that removes everything before and including the equals sign (=).

The end result is that `versionid` gets the value of the `bamboo.resultsUrl` after the equals sign.

ℹ️ In essence, we're extracting the versionid from the URL and using it to trigger a Plan named PROJ-NX (replace this with your actual plan name) and passing that variable as a parameter

Step 2 - Dedicated Plan to Retrieve logs:

In the newly created plan, a script task is required. This task will retrieve all the result information for the deployment using the following command:

1 curl -k -u admin:pwdadmin http://localhost/bamboo/rest/api/latest/deploy/result/${bamboo.versionid}?includeLogs=true  

⚠️ Subsequently, you will need to parse the data you wish to extract using another script task. Then, create the command to target the Jira instance with the desired information. This will create the update discussed in our initial example.

Below is a sample output of that command, showcasing a single task that completed successfully
