A Workflow Question for Overlapping Timelines
Asked by joshuadavidstein:

I'm a cookbook author and use Trello for my recipe tracking. However, I am having a workflow issue and no clear idea how to move around it.

Basically, I'm tracking 100 or so recipes. Each moves on cards from raw to tested in order. However, at the same time, I'm trying to keep track of which recipes have headnotes (the notes before the recipe) which can happen at any time as the recipe moves from raw through tested. Any ideas how best to notate this? (The root question is two overlapping timelines).

Any help at all appreciated.

body: Hey [@joshuadavidstein](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5029920)

You could try using labels to track this on your board, you could add a label for No headnotes and another for Headnotes added and then you'll be able to use the board filter to filter for all the cards that have or haven't got headnotes.

Here's a link with more information on labels in Trello - <https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/adding-labels-to-cards/>

Slack Power Up has changed...
Asked by joel_davies:

Hey, we have been using the Trello/Slack set up for some time but are no longer able to *attach conversation* to the card, the option has disapeared.   

Any idea is this is hidden or has gone for good?


Answers:
author: Vishaal S
body: Hi Joel,

Good day to you :)

Just to confirm, are you attaching a private group message from Slack to that card? If so, it's expected that the message won't appear in the Trello card, as it's a private message only visible those members in the direct message.

You could convert that private group message into a private channel, and then copy and paste the message in question. Here's how: <https://slack.com/intl/en-au/help/articles/213185467-Convert-a-channel-to-private>

Should that not help- I'd recommend checking that you have the Slack Power-up enabled and that you have authenticated access to Slack from Trello. If this is in place, try revoking access by going to trello.com/me/account, and then re-authorising to see if setting up that link again helps!

Artifact Copy Hanging on Remote Agent
Asked by John Hoffman:

Hello--

We're having a problem with an artifact, specified as follows:

Location: Assets/gamedata_blessed/app/game

CopyPattern: \*\*

The artifact is copy operation from the remote agent to the local agent artifacts directory appears to cause a hang in the build. The log states 'Publishing an artifact: Gamedata 3' and never moves beyond.

If I take a look in the artifacts directory while the build is hanging, I see the artifact files in the following format:

com.atlassian.bamboo.v2.build.agent.messages.ArtifactTransferPayload7570925679716749637.tmp

After a minute or so, another .tmp directory appears with a different ID, and the first .tmp directory eventually gets deleted:

com.atlassian.bamboo.v2.build.agent.messages.ArtifactTransferPayload9016559248665213475.tmp

This process appears to continue indefinitely. The artifact directory I'm attempting to archive is about 7MB in size and contains 546 Files, 34 Folders.

Thanks for the help!

bamboo branches once daily build but not the trunk
Asked by Gretchen Jones:

I have a plan with three branches. Currently the main plan is configured to build from a branch and one of the branches is configured to build from the trunk. I want to schedule a daily build on the (trunk) branch but when I schedule it causes the main plan build to run rather than the branch build I actually want to build. I only see the scheduling feature on the main plan not on the branches. What am I missing? Is it required that my main plan be built before a branch can be built?

My repository is SVN so I'm not doing any of the branching automagically.

Is it possible to run multiple builds pointing to the same webserver?
Asked by Bruno Rubin dos Santos:

Hi!

We use Oracle's Weblogic as a webserver in our enviroment.

Nowadays, in our current configuration, each remote agent points to only one webserver and use domain exclusive lock to deploy each application.

I read the documentation about multiple agents and agent's capabilties and I have a doubt about run multiple builds at same time using different agents but pointing to the same webserver. Is it possible? How will be the domain-lock functioning?

Thank you!

Bruno R.


Answers:
author: Renjith Pillai
body: Won't it be the other way, since you have only one server, you need to restrict to one agent so that jobs gets done sequentially?

Is support for Bamboo 4.x coming to Atlassian Connector for IntelliJ IDEA?
Asked by Jordi Vilalta:

Some of my co-workers are using IntelliJ IDEA and they use the Atlassian IDE Connector to keep up to date with the Bamboo build status.

Since we updated to Bamboo 4.0 it's no longer working. It looks like the connector doesn't support the new Bamboo version. Do you know if it's a configuration issue or a connector upgrade will be required? In the later case, is there any timeframe for it?

Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: jjaroczynski

We are working on Connectors side to fix the issue (switch to the new Bamboo API). It is actually done and should be released by the end of the week.

Bamboo claims it cannot find '/usr/bin/mvn'
Asked by Barry Kaplan:

I cannot the agent to recognize that /usr/bin/mvn exists. Hence my matrix says not jobs can be run. I even installed maven from a tar.gz and still bamboo gives the little red x for 'mvn exists'. What can I do to figure out what is going on?


Answers:
author: Barry Kaplan
body: Sorry Piotr, I misunderstood. I added _only_ /home/pstefaniak/apache-maven-2.2.1 as the path and now it seems to be running. Of course this means that maven needs an non-standard install on linux, which, I would think, should be considered a bug. Buy hey, at least I'm past this. Thanks!


author: Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]
body: Did you add maven as a capability? For the agent?


author: Barry Kaplan
body: Yes. I've added /usr/bin/mvn as an executable and it shows in the agent. But when I run the build or view the matrix I get error saying 'mvn exists' (not exits is what it means).

I really wish bamboo would verify an executable when its created not sometime later.

comments: author: PiotrA
body: Can you paste the screenshot of your agent capabilities relevant configuration page(s)? I do wonder if you added /usr/bin/mvn as a Maven capability (good) or as an custom executable capability (not good)...


author: Barry Kaplan
body: I added it as an executable. But also (somewhere else) I added it by selecting from a list that showed Maven 1.x, Maven 2.x, Maven 3.x. That seemed to make no difference. I have shutdown bamboo for a bit and restarted teamcity becuase we have some builds that need building. I'll get back to bamboo it a bit. Thanks!


author: Barry Kaplan
body: Ok I deleted the maven executable and the maven job step and re-added both. Don't see what I did different but the agent can now run the job. However when it does I get various errors:

1) If I give a path to mvn as /usr/bin/mvn it tries to execute /usr/bin/mvn/bin/mvn

2) If I give a path of mvn it tries to execute mvn/bin/mvn

3) If I give a path of /usr I get

author: Barry Kaplan
body: I see what happened with the agent not supporting maven. You have to create (or at least update) the job task AFTER the maven capability/executable is defined.


author: PiotrA
body: Hm... seems you need to specify the maven home directory (/home/pstefaniak/apache-maven-2.2.1) instead of the mvn itself.


author: Barry Kaplan
body: As I mentioned in original post, I already tried that. Bamboo simply added /bin/mvn to the full path of /home/pstefaniak/apache-maven-2.2.1.
Error in Visual Studio 2008 task

How to setup multiple arguments in a custom command task?
Asked by AmitB:

I am running cmake as a custom command, and would like to feed in multiple arguments. However, when I do so, I get an error.

For the argument field, I entered:

-G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -H "./cmakers" -B "./framework""

Which is the correct syntax for cmake. Is this the correct syntax for multiple arguments in Bamboo? I could not find any plug-ins or other support for cmake.

MSBuild error " MSB5003: Failed to create a temporary file. "
Asked by Richard Wilder:

I'm setting up Bamboo for my first build. I have an MSBuild project that runs successfully when I run it from a windows command prompt. It fails with MSB5003 error when running it from Bamboo.

Bamboo Version 3.3.3 Build 2719 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 6.1 with Sun Java 1.6.0_29.

Bamboo Temporary Directory is C:\\Windows/Temp (note mixed forward and back slashes).

Bamboo is running as windows service using local SYSTEM account.

Suggestions?


Answers:
author: Richard Wilder
body: I resolved the issue by creating a new user account named "Bamboo" on the server. This account was given administrator priviledges. The Bamboo service was reconfigured to run under this user account rather than under the SYSTEM account.

From reading other questions/answers, I gather that this is necessary when running Bamboo on Windows Server 2008 R2.

Sure would be nice to have had this in the FAQ and/or installation manual...

How to use Qt Test output in Bamboo?
Asked by Jaco Coetzee:

Is there a way to use the Qt Test output generated with -xunitxml in Bamboo?

Attached is a sample result file. (test.log)


Answers:
author: Jaco Coetzee
body: The JUnit parser works with the output generated as long as the test output files has the extention \*.xml. The problem seems to be that using any other extention except \*.xml for the unit test output files will result in the Bamboo not reading the output files and reporting that the build was testless.

Clearing of Artifacts Drop location...
Asked by Norbert:

Hi

I' have two stages in my Plan

1. Stage: get code from repository (inkluding cleanup)
2. Stage: build everything

I move the data from stage one to stage two via "Artifact" (see screenshot)![](../../upfiles/bamboo_artifact.PNG)

The problem is that the Artifact is only getting copied...  
so files in the target folder are not deleted if I delete them in the repository..

I need to have an task running **BEFORE** copying the artifacts to cleanup the folder.

AFAIK this is not possible... How can I solve this problem?


Answers:
author: Norbert
body: Like, I said a little bit lacking ;-)

but thanks for the help I think I will go with the merging the stages solution


author: Marcin Gardias
body: I don't quite understand what your problem is. Artifacts from each build are stored in different folder, (fresh dir for each build) so any leftover files shouldn't be an issue.

You can clean artifacts of old builds by configuring Build Result Expiry

comments: author: Norbert
body: Hi

As far as i understand, the Artifact ist copied to the stage when there is a dependency  
Exampel:

in the repository are 2 files, file_a, file_b, both are retreived in stage 1 and packed as artifact  
the both files are copied to stage 2 (assume build root folder)  
-\> everything ok so far

then i delete file_b from the repository  
stage1 retrieves the file and deletes file_b in the build folder..  
then the file_a is **copied** to stage2..  
but file_b *isn't* *deleted* in the root folder of stage2!

This is not a problem with old artifacts but with using artifacts..  
The only solution would be to bring everything back to one stage so I don't need the whole "artifact" stuff..


author: Marcin Gardias
body: I see.

There's an option to clean working directory after build is finished.

It's in Job Configuration, Misc tab, checkbox: "\<label\>Clean working directory after each build\</label\>". This wipes everything from build working dir after the build is finished, so the next one starts at clean state.

Just make sure that any binaries you want to keep are defined as artifacts too.


author: Norbert
body: As I feared this raises the next problem...  
I have a third stage, deliver the results..  
this stage failes because stage 2 clean everything after its finished...

So here again there is the only solution to do the merge the two stages or to do the cleaning manually...  
:-(

I'm more and more convinced that the your concept of stages/jobs/task is a little bit lacking :-(  
espacially if developing an fat client and not a WebApp or something similar..


author: Marcin Gardias
body: Like, I said, define the results you want to keep as an artifact.

Cant connect to bamboo to MSSQL. Error accessing database: java.sql.SQLException: I/O Error: Connection reset.
