Symptoms

The Bamboo build is reporting the following error:

Failed to execute build: /path/to/bamboo-home/xml-data/build-dir/PROJ-PLAN/hubproj doesn't exist.

The CVS logs are reporting the following:

cvs checkout: warning: skipping invalid entry in password file at line 5
pserver server: cannot find module `14:39:02' - ignored
pserver server: cannot find module `-0500' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules"
cvs checkout: cannot find module `10:11:33' - ignored
cvs checkout: cannot find module `-0700' - ignored

Cause

Bamboo is not able to use the "-D" parameter correctly when performing a CVS checkout for an specific tag.

Resolution

Set Bamboo to omit the "-D" parameter by starting it with the following parameter:

-DCVS_FORCE_CHECKOUT_TO_LATEST=true

Problems with the "-D" parameter are being tracked at the following issues: BAM-6304 and BAM-6420
