Viewing your executable capabilities
Viewing and configuring executable capabilities
To view and configure the executable capabilities defined in Bamboo:
- Go to
> Build resources > Executables. - Select a specific executable's tab to see the agents and jobs related to this executable capability.
- View more details about an agent with this executable capability — select the linked name of the agent in the Agent column. This will show you the complete list of capabilities and jobs associated with that agent.
- Edit the executable path of an agent with this capability — select Edit in the Operations column for the agent you wish to configure. See Defining a new executable capability.
- Remove this executable capability from an agent — select Delete in the Operations column for the agent that currently possesses this executable capability.
Be aware that you can only remove an executable capability from all local agents, not from individual local agents. See the note below for more information. - View details about (and configure) an elastic image with this executable capability — select the linked name of the elastic image in the Elastic Image Configuration column.
- Configure a job that relies on or requires this executable capability — select the linked name of the job in the Plan column.
- If you are currently viewing a Maven (2.x or later) executable capability, you can configure repository isolation for it by selecting Edit capability configuration. Please refer to Configuring repository isolation for Maven executables for more information.
- To add a new executable as a local server capability, select Add executable to server capabilities to navigate to the Server capabilities page.
Notes
- Bamboo's automatic detection of executables — When you install the Bamboo server application or the Bamboo Remote Agent application on another machine, either of these applications will automatically look for existing executables installed on the same machine (based on a combination of the machine's environment variables and other conditions). An executable capability will be created for each executable that either of these Bamboo applications find.
The environment variables and conditions that Bamboo uses to automatically detect and create executable capabilities are listed below. With the exception of the Command executable, the paths for each automatically detected executable are based on the path string values found within these environment variables.- Ant — the
ANT_HOMEenvironment variable - Maven — the
MAVEN_HOMEenvironment variable (Maven 1),M2_HOMEorMAVEN2_HOMEenvironment variable (Maven 2.x) - Grails —
GRAILS_HOMEenvironment variable - Command — the existence of the
/bin/bashfile - PHPUnit — the existence of the
phpunitfile anywhere within the machine'sPATHenvironment variable value
- Ant — the
- Local agents and executable capabilities — Since Bamboo automatically looks for executables installed on the same machine and creates an executable capability for each executable installation it finds, all existing and subsequent local agents that you create will possess these executable capabilities. Hence, when you access the Executables page and view these executable capabilities, all local agents will be grouped together in the All local agents category and you will only be able to remove these executable capabilities from all local agents, not from individual local agents.
