This is the documentation for Bamboo 5.7. View this page for the

Unknown macro: {spacejump}

of Bamboo, or visit the latest Bamboo documentation.

This page describes how to configure Bamboo to use a Bitbucket repository.

You can specify repositories at the following levels in Bamboo:

  • global – repositories are available to all plans in Bamboo.
  • plan – repositories are available to all jobs in the Bamboo plan.
  • job – repositories are available to all tasks in the Bamboo job.

The recommended approach is to set up linked source repositories at the global level – see Linking to source code repositories.

Configure a CVS source repository

  1. Navigate to the repository configuration for a linked repository, plan or job. See Linking to source code repositories.
  2. Either click Add Repository to add a new repository, or edit an existing repository configuration.
  3. Choose CVS from the Source Repository list.
  4. Enter a Display Name to help identify the repository in Bamboo.
  5. You can configure the following settings for a CVS source repository for your plan:
CVS Root

The full path to your CVS repository root (e.g. :pserver:me@cvs.atlassian.com:/cvsroot/atlassian ). Bamboo supports pserver, ext (ssh) and local repository access methods. Note that you can use global variables in this field (see Bamboo variables).

(info) If you are importing a Maven 2 Project, this location should contain your project's pom.xml file.

Authentication Type Password – choose this option if you want to authenticate with a password.
SSH – if you choose to authenticate using SSH, you need to provide the following details:
    • Private Key — the absolute path of your SSH private key.
    • Passphrase — the passphrase for your SSH private key.
Quiet Period

This setting is used to avoid starting a build while someone is in mid-checkin. Bamboo will only initiate a build for this plan when no more changes are detected within the Quiet Period following the last known change. Type the number of seconds Bamboo should wait. Please note that this parameter is mandatory for CVS, as CVS allows partial checkouts. 

 (Only available when configuring an existing plan) 

Module

Type the name of the CVS module that contains the source-code.

(info) Currently Bamboo has limited support for CVS ampersand modules. To use an ampersand module, you will need to define a regular module with the same name as the ampersand module (since Bamboo expects there to be a directory with the specified checkout module name). For example:

    1. Create a module (e.g. allbuilds).
    2. Define an ampersand module with the same name. (The ampersand module can be empty.)
    3. In the Module field, enter the following: allbuilds allbuilds &project2 &project2 &project3
Version of module

The version of the module that Bamboo should build:

    • HEAD
    • Branch/Tag – supply the name of the branch or tag.

(info) Note that you can use global variables in this field (see Bamboo variables).

Advanced Options

Include/Exclude Files

Allows you to specify the files that Bamboo should, or should not, use to detect changes.

Enter into File Pattern a regular expression to match the files that Bamboo  includes or excludes. The regex pattern must match the file path in the repository. See sub page for examples.

Exclude ChangesetsEnter a regular expression to match the commit messages for changesets that should not start a build.

Web Repository

  

If your repository can be viewed in a web browser, select the repository type.

This allows links to relevant files to be displayed in the 'Code Changes' section of a build result.

Generic Web Repository

    • Web Repository URL – the URL of the repository.
    • Web Repository Module — the particular repository required for this plan or job, if the Web Repository URL above points to multiple repositories.
Stash – specify the following details for the repository:
    • Stash URL – the URL of your Stash instance (e.g. 'https://stash.mycompany.com').
    • Stash Project Key – the key of the project in Stash (e.g. 'CONF').
    • Repository Name – the name of the repository in Stash (e.g. 'conf-dev').

See Integrating Bamboo with Stash for more information.

FishEye

    • FishEye URL — the URL of your FishEye repository (e.g. ' https://atlaseye.atlassian.com/ ').
    • Repository Name — the name of your FishEye repository (e.g. 'Bamboo'). This is effectively the alias for your repository path.
    • Repository Path — the path for your FishEye repository (e.g. '/atlassian/bamboo/').

See Integrating Bamboo with FishEye for more information.

How do I determine my Repository Path?

If you have previously run builds with changes from your repository, the easiest way of determining your repository path is to view the code changes and copy the path from the start of the path of one of the changed files, up to (but not including) the appropriate root directory. The root directories for repositories are the ones shown by FishEye when browsing a repository (e.g. trunk)). For example, if a code change listed /atlassian/bamboo/trunk/bamboo-acceptance-test/pom.xml, the path would be /atlassian/bamboo/.
If you have not previously run builds with changes from your repository, you will need to ask your FishEye administrator for the repository path indexed by FishEye.
