Description/Features

This plugin can run an arbitrary command before a build runs or when a build passes or fails.
The pre command is specified on the Builder Configuration page.
The pass and fail commands are specified on the Post Actions configuration page.
Ability to specify if commands run in the bamboo build thread or in their own spawned thread
Sysout and Syserr from the command are logged to the bamboo.log file.
Sysout and Syserr also go to the build log in the web interface if a pre command runs in the bamboo thread.
note: since the commands are meant to run asynchronously, they are run on the bamboo server, not on agent machines.

Usage

  1. Download and install the plugin into your Bamboo WEB-INF/lib folder
  2. Select your build and edit the Builder Configuration under the Configuration tab.
  3. Enter the complete command line to run before the build in the Command field.
  4. Select your build and edit the Post Actions under the Configuration tab.
  5. Enter the complete command line(s) to run in the Success and Failed Command fields
  6. After each build, the system will run either the Success or Failed command as appropriate if it's filled in

Configuration Details

Each command field will expand ALL global and custom variables including:

property description
${bamboo.buildKey} the build key. (i.e. PRJ-PLAN)
${bamboo.buildNumber} the build number. (i.e. 14)
${bamboo.fullBuildKey} the full build key. (i.e. PRJ-PLAN-14)
${bamboo.buildResultsUrl} the build results url

    This is probably some simple user error, but I'm running plugin version 2.0.1 with bamboo v2.0.4 and the post command simply doesn't run after a successful build. Log snippets:

    I see a "Pre Command Runner" but no hint of any post commands despite the build being successful.  Atlassian support made some vague noises about "running my build on an agent" (the agent is local) but had no clue whether that would cause the plugin to run locally or ignore the configured commands or what.

        This is due to the fact that the post command runner plugin is a BuildCompleteAction.

        BuildCompleteActions do not log anything to the web interface's build log since they run after the build is finished.

        I plan to convert the post command plugin to a BuildProcessor instead of a BuildComplete Action which will allow you to see the output in the web interface, but only if it is running in the Bamboo build thread.  In v 2.1 of the plugin, you have the ability to run the command in a separate thread, and in that case, it will not log to the bamboo build log since it's in a separate thread.

         Hope that makes sense.
