Summary
When pushing a Bamboo Spec to the Bamboo Server and the plan already exists with notifications, Bamboo Specs will stop the push and report the following exception:
1
com.atlassian.bamboo.specs.api.exceptions.BambooSpecsPublishingException: An error occurred while publishing plan BAMBOO-SPEC: Plan import is blocked to prevent deleting your plan notifications silently. If you are confident that you want to delete all plan notifications, use com.atlassian.bamboo.specs.api.builders.plan.Plan.noNotifications method explicitlyEnvironment
Prior to the Bamboo version 7.0
Cause
The publish has found an existing plan with the same key as the plan you are trying to publish and this plan has notifications configured which would be entirely removed by the definition you're publishing. As a safe-guard against this silent notification deletion, Bamboo Specs validation is stopping the publish.
Workaround
Option 1
Upgrade to Bamboo version 7.0 or later where this validation has been removed. Simply not specifying any notifications will result in all notifications being removed from the plan. If you want to retain existing notifications, make sure they are defined within your Bamboo Spec.
Option 2
If you are sure you want to remove all notifications from the existing plan (and that you're publishing to the correct plan key), you can add .noNotifications() to your Plan object in the Spec to override the validation.
