Add new executable to task not working
Asked by Bjorn De Rijcke:

Hello,

I'm currently trying out Bamboo to compare it to other CI software. I'm having a hard time to configure MSTest on the server.

Since we use a buildserver without visual studio, I have to following packet installed: <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48152>

But when I try to add a reference to the installed software (the Ms Visual Studio 2015 Agent) at

```
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE
```

The web interface refuses to add my new executable:

add_new_executable.png

I first though it was because the browser was not supported, So I tried both in Chrome and in Internet Explorer - to no avail.

Am I missing something here?

Greetings,

Answers:
author: Marcin Gardias
body: It seems that you hit [this bug.](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-16284) Workaround is to add the executable either as "Server capability" or "Agent capability" (whichever suits your use case better). Details of the workaround are described in the ticked I've linked.

The bug will be fixed in upcoming 5.10 release.

how to hide a task type in Bamboo ?
Asked by Hussain Misbah:

Hi, is there a way to hide certain task types in Bamboo ?

some task types are not relevant in my organization and will never be used, is there a way to hide those ?

we are a Microsoft shop so we never use PHP or Tomcat for example, is there a way to hide them ?

Thanks

Misbah


Answers:
author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: You can achieve this as an administrator within Bamboo Server as follows:

1. Go to 'Manage add-ons'
2. Adjust the filter to 'All add-ons'
3. Search the add-on that is providing the task in question, e.g. the 'Atlassian Bamboo PHP Builder Plugin'
4. Click on the 'x of y modules enabled' link
5. Find the module that is providing the task in question, e.g. 'PHPUnit'
6. Click the 'Disable' button

comments: author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: I can confirm the 5.9.7 assessment - as every so often, the Marketplace's automatic compatibility update process for patch versions simply failed again for the transition from Bamboo 5.9.4 to 5.9.7, i.e. we had to manually update the compatibility settings for our Bamboo add-ons too.

Managing multiple node versions
Asked by Joseph Kim:

I'm trying to figure out how to manage multiple node versions for a variety of different projects for our Bamboo server.

I can't seem to figure out how to include multiple versions of node from 0.10 to 5.0.0 in bamboo and have projects build from differing versions of node while managing the node_modules folder.

What is the best way to handle installing/handling multiple node versions and builds?

Thank you


Answers:
author: Vishmantha
body: [@Joseph Kim](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/645871) how did you resolved the issue?? I used NVM. Just installed in my server and and when running bamboo task. It doesn't recognize nvm or node as commands.

But when only node.js is installed , bamboo recognizes node command.

Can you help me with that please...


author: nriley
body: NVM is a useful tool, depending on the complexity of the environment you are trying to test with:

<https://github.com/creationix/nvm>

This would allow you to declare a specific version of node via the command-line, and subsequently execute the corresponding code with whatever node_modules folder you needed.

I would suggest caching the request to the NVM script (from the link above) so you could control how this was being executed in your own environment (rather than relying on a 3rd party source).

comments: author: nriley
body: To further develop this answer: If you were looking to do something which ran multiple versions of node on the same agent, you could bypass the node path and directly access the place that nvm stores the node binary and global node_modules. For each version of node, the path is switched accordingly. A question: Are you trying to run multiple versions of node in tandem with each other on the same agent? If so...why? Would a docker-ized solution work better for this kind of situation?


author: Joseph Kim
body: We'll try out the NVM solution just to try it out.We're trying to stay away from having to set up dockers. We have use cases across multiple versions of node and RHELS

Asked by Khaled BABA:

i wanna knew if there are a file pathe to delete it or archive it ![jira_pj.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/298482iEE33653882EC04A5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "jira_pj.PNG")


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Archiving will not help you here. An archive just means "the data is all still there, it's just not shown in search or reporting unless someone specifically asks to include it".

You can not delete anything here either, if you want your Jira to continue working properly.

It looks to me like you are looking at a Jira attachments directory. If you want to reduce the file usage in an attachments directory, then there are two things to look at:

* Look at the issues that the files are attached to, and delete either the attachment from the issue, or the whole issue.
* The "kepler attach file" directory is almost certainly being created and populated by an app (probably [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220708/kepler-attachment-fields-simple-multiple?hosting=datacenter\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220708/kepler-attachment-fields-simple-multiple?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview)) - you should do much the same as you need to do with the issues - identify what attachments it is holding, and delete them, or the issues they are attached to.

How can I get rid off the "Learn more about", on the customer portal, when selecting a project?

I will reuse a question that has already been asked here, but the option given as an answer has become obsolete, so I need to know how to do it currently.

Hello,

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Have you created a project? If so, what type of project is it? You can find the project type information in the "Type" column on the "View all projects" page under the "Projects" menu.

In order to start a sprint you must have a Software project created and a Scrum board associated with it. The Scrum board may be created automatically during the project creation process for a Software project.

If you have a Software project created but do not have a Scrum board for it, the method to get the Scrum board created depends on whether the project is "Team Managed" or "Company Managed". That information will be part of the information in the "Type" column on the "View all projects" page.

If you have a project created and you have a Scrum board associated with it, then on the Backlog screen for that board you will need to first Create the sprint, then add issues from the backlog to the sprint, and then you will be able to Start the sprint.

You can find documentation on those topics here:

How to hide and preselect an option in the Request type
Asked by veronica_wilson:

Hello,

I'd like to have a custom field populated when a Service Request is created in the portal.

I've done the following:

* Created a Portal Group=Grafana
* On the Request form I added a custom field and I was able to set Hidden, however, the custom field I want it to be preselected and I don't know how to do that. Can you tell me how to do that. I'd like when the Grafana portal group creates a request it will set the value=Grafana so that I can add that value to automation.

Yes, Grafana is preselected, however, it's not isGrafana which I believe would check to make sure that the Portal Group=Grafana. If, it's not isGrafana then I do not want it to be added as a value. How do I do that?

Not sure I understand the use case you're trying to achieve? Perhaps you can add some more details about what is the scenario you're trying to achieve by hard-coding a value "isGrafana" instead of "Grafana", this will help us in finding a solution.
