Issue Summary

Currently when a build is running in Bamboo and let's assume the build takes ~3-4 hours to complete, if a next build is passed to the plan there are possible two scenarios.

• The build starts running ( If concurrency is enabled and agent are available )
• The build waits in queue

This might be a problematic scenario where the results of the old build is not required anymore and it consumes resources for more than ~3-4 hours.

Solution

There should be an optional parameter in Bamboo Plan configuration to fail the old build immediately if a new build is trigerred.

Workaround

• Currently the workaround is to fail the old running build manually from Bamboo UI.

• We can also use the below REST API end point to fail the build.

  curl -k -u user_id:password -X DELETE http://bambooURL/rest/api/latest/queue/JOB_Key
  

  Refer Bamboo REST API for more details.
