    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      Allow an option so that a build step is conditional on the presence or value of a variable.

      A good use case is given here https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/36658/is-it-possible-to-tag-a-bamboo-build-only-if-a-particular-variable-is-set

      A variant of this use case would be to run the VCS tagging step only if the ${bamboo.jira.version} was set - i.e. tag if the build was initiated from jira as a release, but not if the build was initiated manually or due to a repository update.

      Atlassian Update

      We have an App that allows this functionality, which can be downloaded from the Atlassian Marketplace here: Conditional tasks for Bamboo. The App is compatible with Bamboo versions 6.7.1 and above. Please check out the App, and let us know how it works for you!

            rogierhelmer if you want to configure your task to be executed depending on runtime variables value - yes. See example with Export to Java Specs action at plan config actions

            if you want Java specs code to be processed depending on runtime variables - then it's not possible

            Can this plugin also be used with the java specs?

            @280c4e01fe54    That can be done by having a "Inject Bamboo variables" task prior to your conditional task.  Info regarding that type of task can be found here:  Configuring a variables task

            Having issues matching this string:

            WEBAPI - TEMPLATE_WEBAPI - features-ALPHA-917-NETCoreMigration-MJTICH 5

            using the expression:

            features-.|DEV-.|QA-.*

            log file shows:

            Skipping task because conditions were not met.

            I have validated the expression against the string via https://regexr.com/

            Is there some part of matching using regular expression that I'm not aware of?  Any information is appreciated.

            Hi.

            I am not able to get this plugin to work. Just for testing, I have defined a variable (DEPLOYMENT=true) in the plan. On the Conditional task (Variable), I entered "bamboo.DEPLOYMENT" and selected "exists". 

            Control new release creation from Bamboo variables

            Execution Condition
            Entered "bamboo.DEPLOYMENT" 
             
            I ran the plan and got this error message "Condition com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.bamboo-conditional-tasks:variableCondition wasn't met. Skipping task." 
             
            I also tried to use Injected variable with various ways for the conditional task but not help. The following ways I tried:
            ${bamboo.inject.BAMBOO_DEPLOYMENT}, ${inject.BAMBOO_DEPLOYMENT}, or .inject.BAMBOO_DEPLOYMENT. 
             
            Starting task 'Inject Bamboo variables' of type 'com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.bamboo-variable-inject-plugin:inject'
            Injected variable bamboo.inject.BAMBOO_DEP_STATUS=false in RESULT scope
            Injected variable bamboo.inject.BAMBOO_DEPLOYMENT=true in RESULT scope
             
            I could not find any documentation on this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
             
             
            Regards,
