DSL unable to set auto branch management strategy

[lseek]

Hi,

Firstly, great plugin - helped us recover from disasters a few times :).

I've run into a problem with the branch management strategy of a build plan where the strategy is NOT being set.

For example I create a seed task with the following inline script:

project(key: 'DEV', name: 'DEVOPS') {
    def newPlan = plan(key: 'BRANCHTEST', name: "branchtest.tests") {
        description 'Test branch management'
        enabled false

        scm {
          linkedRepository('testrepo')
        }

        branches {
            autoBranchManagement {
                newPlanBranchesForMatchingBranchNames('review/.*')
                deletePlanBranchesAfterDays(5)
                deleteInactivePlanBranchesAfterDays(3)
            }
            merging {
                branchUpdater {
                    mergeFromBranch "DEV-BRANCHTEST"
                    pushEnabled true
                }
            }
        }

        stage(name: 'Default Stage') {
            description 'Run Tests'

            job(key: 'JOB1', name: 'Run test') {
                description 'Run Test'
                enabled true

                tasks {
                    checkout {
                        description 'Checkout Default Repository'
                        repository(name: 'testrepo') { }
                    }
                    script {
                        description 'Run test'
                        inline {
                            scriptBody '''\
                              #!/bin/bash

                              echo Testing'''.stripIndent()
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

When I run this seed plan it creates the new build plan but the branch management strategy is set to "manual".

Bamboo version: 6.1.0 build 60103 - 18 Jul 17 Plugin version: 1.9.1

NOTE: The auto branch management was working fine until we switched from Bamboo 5.14.5 build 51419 - 10 Mar 17 to 6.1.0 build 60103 - 18 Jul 17 yesterday.

I tried setting the other strategies in the seed task code and observed the following:

• If I set the strategy to createPlanBranchesForNewPullRequests() it works (i.e. the plan is created with the correct auto-management strategy) BUT if I now modify the strategy in the seed plan to any other strategy (e.g. doNotCreatePlanBranches()) and run the seed plan the branch management strategy does not get updated, it stays at "When pull request is created".
• After the plan has been created if I head over to the "Branches" tab in the plan configuration and manually set the auto-management option to "When new branch in repository is created", save the configuration and then run the seed plan (which sets the management strategy to newPlanBranchesForMatchingBranchNames), the management strategy is successfully set to the "When new branch in repository is created and matches expression" strategy. If I choose any of the other two strategies ("Manually" or "When pull request is created"), save the plan and run the seed plan the generated plan DOES NOT get updated to the "When new branch in repository is created and matches expression" strategy.
• The branch merging configuration from the DSL is also ineffective - the generated build plan has branch merging disabled.

For now we've reverted back to the old version but that's only a temporary measure ... we need to upgrade to the new version sooner rather than later.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @lseek

Thanks for bringing this up! You're right, I was able to reproduce this issue with Bamboo 6.1.

I've fixed this now and will ship the bug fix with the next release coming very soon (hopefully this week).

I'll report back here once it is out!

Best regards, Michael

We have fixed this with the latest release 1.9.2. Thanks again for bringing this up!
