Trello Card Optimizer - "Color lists based on list names" edit function not saving
Asked by Angela Crompton:

I have set the colours for the trello cards based on their name under the Trello Card Optimizer extension function attached to trello.

For some reason my cards are showing the colours but all other guests to the board show grey cards only. This has just started happening, has something changed in the Trello Cards Optimizer extension that may be effecting this?

How do we save so all users receive the colours after they save an updated colour code formula to their own boards and hit save? As per the usual process we have been using for some time.![Capture.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/214040iEB9C598CC51A0354/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")

Still hoping Trello Cards Optimizer comes back!

Trello with board Tab in MS Teams -> Editing board without account possible?
Asked by Stephan Kutsch:

Hi there,

I got a free Trello account and want to share a board in MS Teams (Trello board tab).

Is there any possibility that my MS Teams members can edit the board WITHOUT a Trello account?

Would be great if anyone could help me!

Kind regards

Stephan

body: Hi Stephen,

Unfortunately no it's not possible to edit Trello content without having a Trello account. You can ask the member to create an account first in this case.

Can I filter to only view cards where the reminder is set to 'none'?
Asked by Gary Sakol:

I have a workspace with thousands of cards that I use with my team as an 'annual timeline' (when someone marks the card as completed, we use the butler to automatically mark it as not completed and reset the date for one years time).

The ability to set reminders is crucial to this, as it emails staff reminding them when something is needed.

Whilst all cards have due dates set, some of the cards have the reminders set to 'none'. This means the staff member does not get an email saying the card is now due.

I can't find an easy way of filtering the space to only see cards with no reminders set? Is this possible?

Otherwise we will have to open each card individually, click on the date, and see if the reminder is set or not.

Thanks

Trello card link in Google Calendar?
Asked by Dik Liu:

I have a Trello standard and a Planyway business plan, and I need to sort out my workflow between Trello and Google Calendar. When I create a card in Trello with a due date, the event shows up in Google Calendar with a Trello card link to edit my card. But, when I create an event in Google Calendar, there is no Trello card link. I have to go to Trello, find the newly created card, and edit it before the Trello link appears in my Google Calendar event. Is there a way for the Trello card link to automatically appear in my Google Calendar when I create the event there? Thanks.


Answers:
author: Maria
body: Hi [@Dik Liu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4084106), if I understood you correctly, you'd like to create Trello cards directly from your Google Calendar.

It's not possible to do so by default, however, you still can create Trello cards from your Google Calendar. Here's how.

When you create a new event in your Google Calendar, change the calendar to the one that corresponds to your synced Trello board. On my screenshot, Social Media, Team Overview and Time Tracking are all Trello boards that I synced to my Google calendar:

![](https://attachment.freshdesk.com/inline/attachment?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6MzEwMjg4NTQ1ODksImRvbWFpbiI6InBsYW55d2F5LmZyZXNoZGVzay5jb20iLCJhY2NvdW50X2lkIjo2NTI0Njh9.M7S54LzcK1yPVBgi8gPXows7dBPj4iJdD4Z3RsPC4so)

After saving the event, a new card should appear in your Trello board in a few moments.

Hope this helps.  
If you have other questions or suggestions, please feel free to ask.

Build Expiry Issue
Asked by Cameron Ferguson:

I am working with our Build Expiry settings for the first time with our bamboo setup. I am configuring it per plan, not globally -- so global build expiry is disbaled.

I am overriding one of our testing plans to enable the removal of Build Results. I am setting the time field to 0 to ignore. and I set Min Number of Builds to Keep to 10. (currently the plan has about 389 build results). I am basically wanting to keep the last 10 builds.

Using this wiki page for help: [http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Configuring+Expiry+of+a+Plan%27s+Job+Build+Results](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Configuring+Expiry+of+a+Plan%2527s+Job+Build+Results)

Now to me, "Minimum Builds to Keep" seems like a typo.. according to the Wiki page description, I think it would say "Maximum Builds to Keep" -- however the description in the wiki clearly states:
> To keep a specified (or minimum) number of Job build results of this Plan,
>
> * In the '**Expiry period**' field, specify '0'.
> * In the '**Minimum builds to keep** ' field, specify the number of Job build results of this Plan you want to keep. **E.g. specify '50' to keep the latest 50 Job build results.**

However, after saving nothing happens. Old results are not pruned. I have even re-ran the plan in order to possibly trigger the removal and still nothing. All 389 results are still available.

I am expecting I am doing something wrong or misunderstanding the wiki. I am only wanting to keep the last 10 builds.

Thanks in advance for the help


Answers:
author: Cameron Ferguson
body: Ok I figured it out. The wiki page I linked in the original question should explain this as a step.  

Build Expiry MUST still be enabled in the admin section, but you can still disable global expiry. Then there are cron settings for time intervals where the cron job is run and then each individual plan that has overriden the globla build expiry settings will be run as well.
How can I configure Bamboo to check out & run tests against the branch that was committed to?
Asked by Mark McD:

I have a brand new Bamboo set up that is successfully running my test suite against trunk, polling for changes every 30 seconds.

We usually run at least 2 or 3 different "active" branches in this system and I'd like Bamboo to be able to monitor / listen for changes on the entire repository, but pass in a "$branch" variable or somesuch to my plan to check out (or switch) \& run the test suite against that branch.

Is this possible? If so, how can I do it? If not, do you do something similar and can provide a "close enough" solution?


Answers:
author: Przemek Bruski
body: A "close enough" solution will come in the next release of Bamboo. You will be able to run the same set of Jobs against multiple branches. No promises, but it should be available Feb/Mar and it's likely that we'll have a public beta in Feb.

comments: author: Mark McD
body: Are there any details available anywhere that I could browse?


author: Przemek Bruski
body: No official public information as far as I know, so I also cannot tell you more than I did.

It looks like it should cover your use case.

Bamboo agent as proxy
Asked by James Tanis:

We are extending our use of Bamboo from a CI tool to a continuous deliverty tool. We have the standard 3 environments, Dev/QA, staging, and production. For security purposes we do not wish to permit production processes to communicate with DevQA directly. The Bamboo server runs in DevQA and we have remote agents running in all 3 envs. I was wondering if it might be possible to use the remote agent running in staging to proxy the connections from the remote agent in production?


Answers:
author: Przemek Bruski
body: Hmm, you could set up two tunnels pairs (e.g. using SSH): a pair from prod to staging and a pair from staging to QA.

The tunnel pair should forward the JMS port (default 54663) and the HTTP port under which Bamboo is visible.

But at the end this would mean that you would have some kind of access from QA to prod (on two ports), so maybe it would be easier to allow QA-prod communication between these two ports on the firewall?
How do I use perforce alternative roots in bamboo over multiple remote agents?
Asked by Seravy:

Hi,

I have currently set up a remote agent which uses perforce and I came across this article:

<http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Using+Perforce+with+Bamboo+-+Limitations+and+Workarounds>

There are 3 work arounds, 1 and 2 are not viable for me so I am trying to work with option 3.

I have been looking through the specification for Alt Roots in the perforce documentation and it does not seem to provide the answers for getting it to work on different hosts.

I have removed the host from the client work space and added in two different paths into Alt Roots, but both machines still seem to use the Root path regardless of if the path does not exist or any combination of ordering.

<br />

If anyone has any documentation on this functionality it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Seravy
body: I have recieved an email reply from perforce support about this issue:

'AltRoots' are only useful if a workspace is to be used on different platforms, for example Windows and Linux.  
I have logged an enhancement request for it to be possible to specify another Windows machine using 'AltRoots', and have added your contact details to it.  
I am not familiar with Bamboo, but will investigate if there are other workarounds to enable you to achieve what you want.

Subversion Config
Asked by Graeme Kidd:

Hi,

I am wanting to allow Bamboo to checkout content from subversion while maintaining the date modified attributes on the files. This can be done by setting the "use-commit-times" property to yes in Subversion's config file which for some reason I can't find.

Am I just doing something daft or does it not exist?

how can we Repeat the test Cases if test case fails in selenium, is there any code to repeat ?

I aam working on NUNIT, while Running the Test Suite in some test cases are failing .

If any one can suggest to me i really appreciate it.

Thanks in Advance,

Answers:
author: Sam Stange
body: If you Selenium tests are failing, you can go to the build server and find the location where bamboo builds your project. I would run the tests in Visual Studio on the build server. This approach has helped me when I've been stuck in a misconfiguration bind. It's either a misconfiguration or lack of something installed (e.g. - lack of Firefox).

Struggling with Bamboo SVN file pattern
Asked by Michael Roettger:

I'm using Bamboo V3.4.3 with Subversion V1.6.17 and I'm struggling with the file pattern to exclude changes from specific folders. The repository URL ends with "trunk" (which is the root folder).

The folder structure below "trunk" looks like: subproj1/projA1/\*, subproj1/projB1/\*, subproj1/projC1/\*, subproj2/projA2/\*, subproj3/projA3/\*, subproj3/projB3/\* and so on.

Now, how must I setup the file pattern to exclude changes from "subproj2" and "subproj3/projB3"? I read RepositoryIncludeExcludeFilesExamples and tried different settings (which didn't work).

Does the commit folder has an influence on this pattern; means, if I commit on folder level "subsproj2" or "subproj1/projB1" or "trunk" (for instance), does this influence if the file pattern works or not?

Thanks in advance for any help.


Answers:
author: PiotrA
body: > *Now, how must I setup the file pattern to exclude changes from "subproj2" and "subproj3/projB3"?*

How about setting 'exclude pattern' as "(subproj2\|subproj3/projB3).\*" ? will that do the trick?

----

edit: how about "/trunk/(subproj2\|subproj3/projB3).\*" ? Will that do the trick?

From what I see Bamboo retrieves full path to the commit files (so it includes the "/trunk/" part too, which is not intuitiv I'd say). Please check if that solve the problem - I'd update documentation then.

comments: author: Michael Roettger

body: This was the bain to my branch trigger existence. Always assumed it started relative to the scm URL.


author: Jenny Mostert
body: I'm struggling with the same thing. I've tried and tried different regex patterns, but every time I run the plan, both folders are checked out instead of just the one I want.

AntBuildScripts/ANCHORscripts - don't want this one

AntBuildScripts/Internetscripts - would love to see just this one :)

I only want to checkout Internetscripts for this plan. Once I get this working, I can tweak the include pattern for all of the various projects under our Internet repo. Any suggestions would be fabulous.
Can I specify a different directory than the working directory when cloning a repository in Bamboo?
Asked by Jay Barra:

I have several projects which use a set of precompiled libraries. Our directory structure has this libraries folder at the same location as the base working directory of Bamboo. The libraries are also under version control and we are trying to figure out a way to have bamboo pull them to a directory that is not the working directory of the project being built.

C:\\projects\\Libraries

C:\\projects\\bamboo_plan_checkouts

edit: We are using mercurial


Answers:
author: ReneR
body: Since Bamboo 3.3 you can have your Source Checkout as a Task. You can have as many Tasks in any Job as you want. Tasks execute in sequence, inside the Job. Each Job runs on the same agent, inside the same build working directory.

\* Task 1, Checkout the Libraries to subdir .\\Libraries

\* Task 2, Checkout Project A to subdir .\\Project A

\* Task 3, Build Project A using path references to .\\Libraries that refer to the build.working.directory

A better solution, though, may be to look into Mercurial Nested repositories: [http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Subrepository?action=show\&redirect=subrepos](http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Subrepository?action=show&redirect=subrepos)

I'm assuming developers will need to know which bits to checkout too and you don't want your CI builds building one way and your local Dev builds building a totally different way.

For how to reference a given build's working directory during the build, see: <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Using+Global%2C+Plan+or+Build-specific+Variables>

Who triggered a manual stage?
Asked by Heather Wells:

Is there any way to find out which user triggered a manual stage in Bamboo? When I look at the Summary for that stage it tells me that the build was triggered by changed code. This was true for the first stage, but not for the manual stage at the end of the build.


Answers:
author: William Sargent
body: I fixed this with a PreJobAction and the example code from [https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/35653/is-it-possible-to-set-bamboo-variables-in-one-stage-via-custom-task-and-retrieve-it-in-a-different-stage](/questions/35653/is-it-possible-to-set-bamboo-variables-in-one-stage-via-custom-task-and-retrieve-it-in-a-different-stage) -- there really needs to be more flexible and comprehensive documentation on how to set variables in Bamboo.


author: Heather Wells
body: It looks like Bamboo 4.0 has this feature...but it's not working. I triggered a manual build. Another user then triggered a manual stage after all the automatic stages had completed. The Dashboard now says "Manual build by Dave," listing the user who triggered the last manual stage. The build page sometimes says "Trigger: The build was manually triggered from the stage: Deploy by Dave" and sometime says "Trigger: The build was manually triggered from the stage: Deploy by Heather," changing as you click the various stages.

comments: author: Cameron Ferguson
body: Yeah we've seen this as well... depending on how the trigger occured affects what is shown as the "user" who triggered it... and it seems that the MetaData variable for hte username doesn't really know exactly who triggered the manual stage and from where


author: James Dumay
body: Heather, to confirm, are you looking at the trigger reason for build results that were created after your upgrade to Bamboo 4? The fix we added does not work retrospectively across your old build results.


author: Cameron Ferguson
body: Yeah this is something that'd be useful for us.. we use the Atlassian CLI on our agents to do things like "auto-comment" and "promote tasks", etc.. we use Manaul Stages for "Approval" steps... and it'd be nice to have our auto-commenter code say, "This build was approved by _________" and be able to access a variable that was whoever triggered the manual stage
Bamboo labels not working
Asked by lance_lyons:

I just finished adding build labels to some of our builds assuming if I filtered by that build label it would show only those builds.

It doesnt work.

I added these labels through configuration-\> actions-\>modify plan label.

The label shows under the plan heading in the upper left but filtering from the dashboard and checking the label I want to appear does not work?

Do I need to restart Bamboo to have this take effect?


Answers:
author: lance_lyons
body: OK I figured this out. The build has to run at least one time after you apply the label for the label to show in the filter.
