Buildmaster: Get Build Id from within a script

[antony.booth_1029]

I used to be able to create a url to a release using built in variables $ReleaseNumber and $BuildNumber

Example: http://buildmaster.server.domain/applications/123/builds/build?**releaseNumber**=16&**buildNumber**=2

When I try that on version 6.2.21, I will get an error 500: The parameter "buildId" is missing.

From Buildmaster documentation, I can not determine what variable corresponds to buildid, if any.
From the API, I can't find anything to invoke that will list built in variables that include buildId

The equivalent url now is: -
http://buildmaster.server.domain/applications/123/builds/build?**buildId**=678

How can I build this url, without knowing the buildid?

Hi @antony-booth_1029,

Starting in version 6.2.21, we actually made a new variable function to create the URL for you. You can use the $BuildMasterUrl(build) function and that will generate the URL. If you are running that from within the context of a build, you will not need to specify any other parmaters. You can see more about its usage in the functions reference in BuildMaster by navigating to Administration -> Reference Documentation section -> Functions. We have also added a $BuildMasterId function if you need to get the BuildId directly.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
