Branch plans with Stash repos are never expired if the branch has already been deleted in Stash

XMLWordPrintable

      For plans with automatic branch management, if a branch is deleted in the VCS repo, the corresponding branch plan will be automatically disabled. It will then be deleted by Bamboo after a number of days (as per the "plan branch cleanup" setting) during the daily 3am branch expiry clean-up.

      With 5.6 we've noticed that some plans are not having their branch plans expired up as they previously were. So far we've found this only affects plans that have a Stash repository (Git repos appear to be unaffected) where the branch has already been deleted from the VCS repo.

      In these cases, the server logs from the 3am clean-up job include errors like this one below:

      and the branch plan will remain in Bamboo indefinitely (albeit disabled). We have branch plans from 2 months ago, despite 'Plan branch cleanup' being set to 'Remove after 7 days'.

      Workaround
      A temporary workaround to avoid having cluttered with so many branches will be to run this command on your database and restart Bamboo when you have downtime.

      update build set marked_for_deletion=1 where suspended_from_building=1 and build_type="chain_branch";
