BigPicture - Adding New Owner
Asked by Lindsay Gluf-Magar:

Hello community!

I am trying to add my coworker as an additional owner, or even transfer ownership to her for the BigPicture PowerUp. In the settings area of the BigPicture; the app will not populate any other board members for me to pick from and there is no way for me to enter them in. I have tried exiting and reentering the app a couple of times to see if the list will come through and it has not. Help? Thanks!

Welcome to community! Sometimes people who are directly connected to BigPicture do post on the community. However the fastest way for support maybe to submit a ticket <https://jira.bigpicture.one/servicedesk/customer/user/login?destination=plugins/servlet/desk/portal/1>

If I downgrade to a free plan, will the custom fields that I build into my board still exist?
Asked by Darcy Keester:

I understand that if I downgrade, I can no longer edit the board with the custom fields, but can the board be viewed with the custom fields that were previously built and will those custom fields still be searchable by a free user?


Answers:
author: Brittany Joiner
body: [@Darcy Keester](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5091423) i believe the custom fields will only persist on legacy boards that were created prior to the price change. So, my understanding is that they won't persist after you downgrade.


author: Hamza Chundrigar
body: Hi [@Darcy Keester](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5091423)

Welcome to the community!

As per this article: <https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/trellos-plans-an-update-and-faqs/>

Custom Fields is now a core product feature for Standard, Premium, and Enterprise, and is no longer available as a Power-Up and can no longer be added from the Power-Ups directory.

**If you currently have the Custom Fields Power-Up enabled on an existing free board, you can continue to use the feature on that board. However, any newly created boards within a free Workspace will not have the Custom Fields Power-Up available, and will require an upgrade to access Custom Fields on those boards.**
Grails 2.2 on Bamboo OnDemand
Asked by Matt Taylor:

Are there any plans for Bamboo OnDemand to support Grails 2.2? It does not appear on the drop-down menu when adding a Grails task to our build plan, and our application currently does not function on Grails 2.1.


Answers:
author: Przemek Bruski
body: We will add Grails support when OnDemand gets upgraded to 5.0. There's no date set for it yet, but we are working on the upgrade just now.

If you need it sooner, you can install Grails on your instances using a custom EBS or instance setup script.

maven install jar for later use in war
Asked by Jason Thiel:

I **t**have a jar that i build and then use in a war.

Here is what my tasks look like:

1. mvn package the jar.

2. mvn install the jar.

3. mvn package the war.

It fails to find the .jar that was installed.

Here is my install command:

install:install-file -Dfile=/JpaDataRepository/target/JpaDataRepository-.1.jar -DgroupId=com.fi360.mercury.repository -DartifactId=JpaDataRepository -Dversion=.1 -Dpackaging=jar

SVN access not working after upgrade
Asked by Norbert:

Hello

I'm currently trying to upgrade our Bamboo installation (Installing it on another machine)

The old one is a windows xp machine with Bambo 4.4.5. The new one is Windows 7 x64 with Bamboo 5.0  
I copied the settings for the SVN repository, but on the new machine its not working  
The error is:

```
This is not a valid Subversion Repository: svn: E170001: Authentication required for 'svn+ssh://XXX.XXX.XXXX:2222'
```

Checkout on this machine works (with tortoisesvn + Pagent for the ssh key) so it must be something with the configuration inside Bamboo.

Hopefully somebody can give me some hints.


Answers:

Otherwise, please do try to [regenerate](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Securing+your+repository+connection) the key and check.

comments: author: Norbert

Best upgrade route for Bamboo 2.5.3 to 5.0?
Asked by Kelvin Gan:

Hi Atlassian

We need to upgrade our Bamboo install (2.5.3). Please could you advise the shortest upgrade path to 5.0 - so the versions in between we must upgrade to.

Thank you.

Kelvin


Answers:
author: Kelvin Gan
body: Upgrade path from 2.5.3 to 2.6.3 to 2.7.4 to 5.0 worked for us.

Caveat: on upgrade to 2.7.4 all of our plans wouldn't run as we kept seeing:

java.lang.SecurityException: gss.conf (No such file or directory)

for each plan. We burnt about a day trying to diagnose this problem.

But we pushed ahead with upgrading to 5.0 and it resolved this - we only saw one occurrence of this error in the logs on startup but all our plans execute fine now.

Thanks Rian and Przemek.


author: RianA
body: Hi Kelvin,

Since you are using Bamboo 2.5.3, you might need to upgrade to Bamboo 2.6.3 \> 2.7.4 \> 4.3 \> 5.0. For more information, please refer to the following documentation.  
\* <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Bamboo+5.0+Upgrade+Guide>

Use Existing EC2 instance for Bamboo OnDemand
Asked by Richard Brisley:

I cannot find any details of this but is it possible to connect an existing EC2 instance to OnDemand? I can see the interface lists additional instances not used for build. But nothing that appears to let me say use this instance. I've got an instance which has all the bamboo agent system setup. I want to setup a development server which will also act as ondemands built instance.

Bulk change Build JDK in bamboo plans.

Could you please further elaborate on the build JDK? By right this should be controlled in the agent capabilities, and you could change it from there, and it should change for the subsequent build.

Using xUnit in Bamboo OnDemand
Asked by Scott Peterson:

Hello:

We have an OnDemand instance with Bamboo, and I am trying to set it up to take over as our CI server. When setting up a test plan, I've added a default job and several tasks. When I go to add a Test task, I see tasks for NUnit, MS Test and others, but no xUnit task. By xUnit, I mean the actual xUnit project at <http://xunit.codeplex.com/>. Are there any plans to have an xUnit task? I see that there is a plugin here: <https://bitbucket.org/vitalymaslevskiy/bamboo-dotnet-plugin-xunit> that adds tasks for .NET and xUnit, but I can't install that plugin in Bamboo OnDemand.

We would like to keep using xUnit, as it is out test framework tool of choice, and integrates with AutoFixture. Any input would be most helpful.

Thanks,

Scott


Answers:
author: Dax Fohl
body: I found using FAKE instead of MSBuild made using xUnit with Bamboo OnDemand quite easy (among other things. Never going back to MSBuild again). Just create your FAKE script by following their calculator example ([](http://fsharp.github.io/FAKE/gettingstarted.html)<http://fsharp.github.io/FAKE/gettingstarted.html>), add an XUnit task like on their homepage ([](https://github.com/fsharp/FAKE)<https://github.com/fsharp/FAKE>) and create a bamboo task that calls "build.bat" (which is included in the calculator example). Then on your FAKE xUnit task, just add a NUnitXmlOutput=true property to have it publish NUnit-style XML test results. ([](http://fsharp.github.io/FAKE/apidocs/fake-xunithelper-xunitparams.html)<http://fsharp.github.io/FAKE/apidocs/fake-xunithelper-xunitparams.html>). Finally add the NUnit parser task to your bamboo build, and it'll publish your results. It's pretty easy and ends up being quite flexible.

Build plans and deployment projects
Asked by hans_jacob_melby:

Hi!

I am trying out the new features for bamboo and I am a little confused about the "difference" between some of ne "natural" steps for a build plan and the deployment project.

In a youtube video from atlassian (<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rG-XxVYNS4c>) you show how you define a pipeline and deploy your modules to diferent servers.

As the example shows this is easy :) Great work

My question is regarding the deployment project.

I am puzzled that they seem "diconectet" from eachother.

I have defined a lot of enviroments and a deploy project, but there is no way i can use/access it from the build plan. It seems like i have to define all the necesarry stept all over again in the build plan? Is that so ?

Further..If I for example automatically deploy to QA from the build plan, would the envirment informatin in the deploy project be updated ?

Is there any resources or videos on the net that explains this in more details? I really miss a "example" project (a bit more complex than the one refered to in the documentation) that shows the "link" (if there is any) between build plan and deployment project.


Answers:
author: EddieW
body: The idea supports a Build-once-run-anywhere mentality.

Build plans are for building and creating the release package/artifacts.

\* checkout from soruce

\* compile

\* test

\* package

\* ship to artifact server

The build plan is linked with a deployment project, and exposes an artifact (war, ear, pom, etc).

The deployment projects pull _from_ a build plan and push _to_ environments. That's the connection.

Deploy projects never build anything, or pull from source. They tak tjhe fnished product from the build, and allow a flexible deployment schedule to each environment.

If you have a "dev" environment, setting an automatic trigger upon completion of the build plan will allow a automatic deployment whens builds finish.

Or you can manually create a release from a completed build, and then that "release" can be deployed to any of your defined environments.

Change Style of Bamboo and Stash
Asked by Alexander Kiefer:

Is it possible to adjust the style of Bamboo and stash? so it will look like Jira \& Confluence? I mean adjusting Colours and uploading a custom logo?


Answers:
author: cofarrell
body: Hi Alexander,

Unfortunately neither Bamboo nor Stash allow for this out-of-the-box:

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-793>
  * see also <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-13311>
* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/STASH-3178>

As per Seb's comment on the Stash issue, the only way would be to write a plugin which overrides specific CSS. But why would you when they look so pretty? :)

Charles

comments: author: Alexander Kiefer
body: Well I don't say the tools do not look pretty ;) It's only that the blue does not fit our corporate identy, which is a dark green ;) So it would be cool to modify the style of these tools out of the box!

Using a newly tagged repository (VCS tagging task)

How do I access an ant build file from a deployment environment
Asked by Chris Pike:

I have a plan that results in an artifact being generated. I then want to use a deployment environment and an ant task to deploy the artifact.

Making the ant build file an artifact seems incorrect.

Accessing bamboo.buildnumber
Asked by John Kelly:

Greetings from a Bamboo newbie. Background: I'm a developer on a project that uses Bamboo to build releases. The administration of Bamboo is handled on another continent.

I'd like to display the Bamboo build number in my .NET application, e.g. 'About' dialiog and event logging. As an example of what I'm seeking, in the past I've created postbuilds scripts that fetch SVN info and insert it into a file used by the application (AssemblyInfo.cs for you .NET types!). Could anyone point me in the right direction? I've seen some web posts about Bamboo providing a REST API; could I go that route? Suggestions and examples welcome.

Thanks very much for your help.


Answers:
author: ssetayeshfar
body: Hi John,

You can use the default build specific variable: "bamboo.buildNumber". The usage format for all build-specific variables is: ${bamboo.varName}. You can find more information about using global, plan or build specific variables on this page:

Hope this helps.

comments: author: John Kelly
body: Hello Sepideh,

Thanks for your prompt reply and suggestions. Before I posted my question I had read the page you pointed to and it seemed to be exactly what I want.

To follow up, do you have a suggestion on how I might run a DOS script to access the bamboo.buildNumber variable? My only interface to Bamboo at the present time is the web interface; it's not running on a system I administrate. I'm just a 'web customer' at the present time.8\^) An example would be wonderful. Thanks.

Best regards,

John

How do I create a release from a build on a plan branch
Asked by Chris Wundram:

I'm trying to use the new release and deploy function in Bamboo 5.0, but I am stuck. My release builds are done from a branch in our repository, like release/2.2, bamboo builds these on a plan branch. But how can I put the build result from the plan branch into a release?

Without being able to use branches, this whole release/deploy function seems like it would be useless.

What I want to do is automatically run the SAME deployment on the successful build of ANY plan branch (or, indeed default).
