How to add labels to all builds in a plan using Bamboo Command Line Interface (CLI)

This article explains how to add labels to all the builds in a particular plan using the Bamboo Command Line Interface (CLI) app.

Instructions

Use the runFromBuildList action with the addLabels action to add labels to all the builds under the specified Bamboo plan.

Execute the following CLI action:

 --action runFromBuildList --plan "TR-TP" --common "-a addLabels --build "@build@" --labels label1"

For this example, the output of the action is as follows:

Run: -a addLabels --build TR-TP-10 --labels label1
'label1' labels were added to TR-TP-10.

Run: -a addLabels --build TR-TP-9 --labels label1
'label1' labels were added to TR-TP-9.

Run: -a addLabels --build TR-TP-8 --labels label1
'label1' labels were added to TR-TP-8.

Run: -a addLabels --build TR-TP-7 --labels label1
'label1' labels were added to TR-TP-7.

Run: -a addLabels --build TR-TP-6 --labels label1
'label1' labels were added to TR-TP-6.

Run: -a addLabels --build TR-TP-5 --labels label1
'label1' labels were added to TR-TP-5.

Run: -a addLabels --build TR-TP-4 --labels label1
'label1' labels were added to TR-TP-4.

Run: -a addLabels --build TR-TP-3 --labels label1

The following screenshot shows how the plan changes after adding the labels: 

In the mentioned actions:

  • --plan value refers to a Plan key containing the project key.
  • --build value refers to the Build key
  • --labels value refers to the comma or blank-separated list of labels

It is recommended to test the commands in a non-production environment or run the action with--simulate parameter to verify the behavior before deploying.
