- copyCsv - CSV report customization
Details
Identify critical builds | Focus on the most critical builds that need timely attention. There are multiple ways to specify what build plans should be included in the report. - Simple list of plan keys (fully qualified by project)
- Simple list of plan keys in a specific project
- Plans in a project with regex and other filtering criteria
Code Block |

language | bash |
---|
theme | Midnight |
---|
| acli examplegear.bamboo -a getBuildReportList --project EXAMPLE --list PLAN1,PLAN2,PLAN3 --field notState=UNKNOWN |
Tip |
---|
We report on the last completed build by filtering out currently running builds using: --field notState=UNKNOWN |
|
---|
Choose columns to report | Select the minimum columns needed. getBuildReportList already minimizes the columns reported. In this example, we want a very targeted report , so we remove the first 3 columns. Code Block |
---|
... --columns -1,2,3 |
|
---|
Choose a date format | Specify a date format that best matches specific needs. We use a very concise format to minimize line length. Code Block |
---|
... --dateFormat "EEE HH:mm" |
|
---|
Modify data | Format the data for the report. In this example, we are going to report as a text table, without wrapping, and with modified test result headings to minimize line length. A text table This looks best in Slack. Code Block |
---|
language | bash |
---|
theme | Midnight |
---|
| acli csv -a copyCsv --sourceFile @temp --outputType text --headingAugments ",,Succ,Fail,Skip,Quar" --options screenwidth=999 |
|
---|
Send to Slack | Assumes you already have a slack Slack token for your Slack instance, acli configured to use the token, and access granted to allow the CLI to send to your channel - see Access Tokens and related information for SLACKCLI. We are using markdown code format to get fixed width lines with active links to click on the url URL to quickly get to the a build quicklywith a problem. Code Block |
---|
language | bash |
---|
theme | Midnight |
---|
| slack -a sendMessage --channel ${bamboo.channel} -f @temp --options markdown=code |
|
---|
Full example | We use a Bamboo plan with a script task. This assumes acli is on the path and configured appropriately to access the servers needed. This example uses linux style escaping. We use the CLI temp file for automatically handling of file output Code Block |

Tip |

If lines get wrapped in Slack, use control or cmd - (minus) to scale back font size. |
Tip |
---|
title | Managers - what to watch |
---|
| - Completed - when was the last time this was run? Critical builds should be run daily or at least once a week
- State - anything other than SUCCESSFUL needs someone to investigate and fix before next run
- Succ - 0 means no tests recorded - is that expected?
- Quar - number of quarantined tests. Failing tests being ignored for a good reason? Can successful tests be removed from quarantine?

Show where report came from | Add the following to your script if you are running it from Bamboo Code Block |
---|
language | bash |
---|
theme | Midnight |
---|
| # Show where the message comes from - this build! This makes it easy to re-run the report after the problems have been fixed:
acli slack -a sendMessage --channel ${bamboo.channel} --content '[{"type": "context","elements": [{"type": "mrkdwn","text": "Reported from ${bamboo.resultsUrl}"}]}]' |
Result Code Block |
---|
| Reported from https://bamboo.examplegear.com/browse/ADMIN-BUILDSTATUS-JOB1-3
|
|
---|
Use script variables | When running from a Bamboo using a script, you can use simple scripting to help standardize the acli action across multiple builds for similar reports. This highlights the key differences and makes it easier to read. Code Block |
