Can be ZAPI turned on/off?

[Matej Sobota]

Situation overview.

We have JIRA, Bamboo running docker, Zeplin and tests that have ZAPI.

Question:

Can i use some argument in bamboo task that is running these tests to influence ZAPI? Like it will still be in code and everything but it will do nothing if some argument is present. No cycle/execution creation..no step/execution status update etc..

Now we have it in different branch and if i want ZAPI i run branch with and if i do not want i run branch without.

Hi @Matej Sobota

I don't use ZAPI or Zeplin, but I'll try to share the information I have to allow you planing your next moves to solve this.

Options I see:

Option 1

• Use a Bamboo plan or injected variable to configure if you want ZAPI to run or not. Assuming you using ZAPI from in a script you could test that variable to decide if the ZAPI part of the script should run or not.
• You can use the option run customized to change the plan variables for a specific run only.

Option 2

• Use a Bamboo plan variable to decide what tasks should run or not. This is possible by using the bamboo conditional tasks plugin.
  You can find more details about this plugin in this thread: Solved: How we can configure job with conditional tasks for bamboo Plug-in?

I hope that can shed some light on some options to deal with this challenge.
