Are the API endpoints for keyword "packages" still valid in 6.1.0?

[dwynn_6489]

In the notes for BM-3257 it says "Things not changed: Release & Package Deployment API". However, when I upgraded from BM 6.0.9 to 6.1.0, my implementation of /releases/packages/deploy stopped working. To get it working I needed to change the variable name in the body from "packageNumber" to "buildNumber".

I also noticed that the on-line documentation only mentions endpoints using the "build" keyword, like releases/builds/deploy. There is no mention of a packages endpoint (https://inedo.com/support/documentation/buildmaster/reference/api/release-and-package)

Were the /packages/ endpoints deprecated in a prior release?

Product: BuildMaster
Version: 6.1.0

Both are supposed to be supported, and quickly inspecting the code itself, I see both as possible arguments:

isMatch("builds") || isMatch("packages")

and

BuildId = AH.ParseInt(request["buildId"] ?? request["packageId"]),
BuildNumber = request["buildNumber"] ?? request["packageNumber"],

Perhaps it's JSON parsing related? Are you POSTing as application/json?

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, I'm posting using the application/json content type. Below is a powershell code sample that illustrates the issue.

# this creates the package.
$body = "{
    applicationId: ""${APP}"",
    releaseNumber: ""${RELNUM}"",   
    API_key: ""${APIKey}""
}"

$results = (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://${Servername}:81/api/releases/packages/create" -Method Post -Body $body -ContentType "application/json" -UseBasicParsing).content | ConvertFrom-Json
$PackageNumber = $results.number

# this fails with a message of "Could not determine build ID. A build id or build number, release id/name, application id/name is required."
$body = "{
    applicationId: ""${APP}"",
    releaseNumber: ""${RELNUM}"",
    packageNumber: ""${PackageNumber}"",   
    API_key: ""${APIKey}"",
    toStage: ""Run""
}"	
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://${Servername}:81/api/releases/packages/deploy" -Method Post -Body $body -ContentType "application/json" -UseBasicParsing

# change the var name from "packageNumber" to "buildNumber" in the body and it works.
$body = "{
    applicationId: ""${APP}"",
    releaseNumber: ""${RELNUM}"",
    buildNumber: ""${PackageNumber}"",   
    API_key: ""${APIKey}"",
    toStage: ""Run""
}"	
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://${Servername}:81/api/releases/packages/deploy" -Method Post -Body $body -ContentType "application/json" -UseBasicParsing

Thanks, I've filed this as a bug here: BM-3307
