Extract value of version defined in package.json in bamboo task

Question

Is it possible to extract a package.json version value in a bamboo task? I want to extract the version field and save its value in a bamboo.variable.

Answer 1

Yes, try adding "Script" task into your Bamboo Job. In the script body you can add a code to read package.json version by using grep function from cat command output, and assign to a variable you like, e.g. PACKAGE_VERSION:

# Version key/value should be on his own line
PACKAGE_VERSION=$(cat package.json \
  | grep version \
  | head -1 \
  | awk -F: '{ print $2 }' \
  | sed 's/[",]//g')

echo $PACKAGE_VERSION
