Adhoc Builder - Deployment Tool

Description/Features

Adhoc Builder - Deployment plugin gives Bamboo users the ability to pass parameters to the build in an interactive manner.  Adhoc builder, an extension of the standard Script builder, lets user define multiple lists of pre-defined values such as Ant targets, build options for the builder.  User then can pick and chose those values and initiate a build from the Deployment page accessible from the plan view.  This plugin is very useful for on-demand build and deployment tasks

Installation

• Download the jar to <BAMBOO_HOME>/webapp/WEB-INF/lib directory and restart bamboo server.
• Add the new builder to your agent.  Go to agent set up page (Administration -> Agents -> 'agent x' -> Add Capability).  Set Capability Type = Builder, Type = Adhoc, Label = Adhoc Script Builder, Path=/bin/bash (path is required even if your agent is running on Windows).

Usage

Configure your plan to use Adhoc Script Builder.  You have the option to configure up to 5 positional parameters to be passed to your build script.  With the exception of Fixed type you are defining choices that will be available on the Deployment page.  Argument connector is a character that goes between an option and a selected value.

With the input parameter :

Supporting argument types

Note: If the build is triggered for any reason other than you initiating from the Deployment page Adhoc builder will pass an empty argument to your script.

Examples
