The issue seems to be isolated to the below two user-installed plugins :-
<plugin>
<key>com.hindsighttesting.behave.cucumber-bamboo-plugin</key>
<name>BDD Insights</name>
<version>2.1.2</version>
<vendor>Hindsight Software Ltd</vendor>
<status>ENABLING</status>
<vendor-url>http://www.hindsightsoftware.com/</vendor-url>
<framework-version>2</framework-version>
<bundled>User installed</bundled>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<key>com.adp.ds.atlassian.bamboo.bamboo-branch-version-plugin</key>
<name>Bamboo Branch Version Plugin</name>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<vendor>ADP</vendor>
<status>ENABLED</status>
<vendor-url>http://www.adp.com/</vendor-url>

</plugin>Solution
Try disabling the two user installed plugins and then try re-running the failed build.
Steps for Disabling a plugin
Steps for Disabling a plugin 1. Go to the Plugin Manager in Bamboo: 2. Log in as a user with the 'Admin' global permission. 3. Click Administration in the top navigation bar. 4. Click Plugin Manager, in the left-hand panel, under 'Plugins'. 5. Click the 'Manage Existing' tab. You will see a list of the plugins installed in your application. Enabled plugins will have this icon: 6. Locate the plugin that you want to disable and click the title to expand the plugin details section. 7. Click the 'Disable' button. 8. Once a plugin has been disabled, you may need to restart your application for your change to take effect. If so, you will see a message for the plugin, 'Disabled, requires restart'
Once the plugin is fully disabled, you will see an 'Enable' link for the plugin.
