I'm looking at automating the bamboo release in my team currently it is manually triggered. Releases happen every second Wednesday and a custom variable is set to signify this. If the variable is present an automatic merge to the release branch is triggered.

There are two issues I am running in to

  • There doesn't seem to be a way to schedule a fortnightly build in bamboo.
  • I don't see a way set a custom variable with a scheduled build. I just need some sort of flag to say this was the weekly build and not the automated build that happens on check in.

There are a lot of builds so I don't want to make an additional build plan for each plan.

It's possible to create Schedule trigger with cron expression. Try to use expression which executes your build on 1st and 16th day of month 1 1 11 1,16 * ?

There is no way to set variable value for scheduled builds

a) There doesn't seem to be a way to schedule a fortnightly build in bamboo.

You can use cron job expression for scheduling fortnightly builds.

b) I don't see a way set a custom variable with a scheduled build. I just need some sort of flag to say this was the weekly build and not the automated build that happens on check in.

You must be having some admin user which runs automatically triggered bamboo builds. You can use Bamboo variable {bamboo.ManualBuildTriggerReason.userName}. If this variable name is equal to Bamboo admin user name then this build was triggered at scheduled time. otherwise it was triggered by user/developer.
