Assuming I have 3 post-chain-modules named A, B, and C. How do I control the order of their execution? Maybe I want to run them in B, C, A order. Anyway to do that? What is the logic Bamboo uses to order execution of modules?

Based on the Atlassian Bamboo 5.2.2 source code, the logic for executing build processors is in a method named performCustomBuildProcess in com.atlassian.bamboo.build.pipeline.tasks.ExecuteBuildTask.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's a way to control the order of execution. performCustomBuildProcess iterates over a List. While a List maintains the order that objects are inserted, the List used in performCustomBuildProcess is initialized by iterating over Collection objects. Java doesn't guarantee the order of objects in a Collection.

I believe your only option is to have a single BuildProcessor module. This BuildProcessor would control the order that other Java code is executed.

  • Yea that's pretty much what I took away from searching the internets :( Unfortunately we have somewhere around 10 different post-chain actions and can't seem to find a way to force one to execute before the other – Christopher Dancy Jul 31 '14 at 16:24

I had a similar issue and prefixed each task with a number. So far, these have executed in numerical order. Within a given stage, the tasks should execute in the order show on the task list screen. Between stages, its harder to control execution order, short of using artifacts.
