Once you have configured a new builder capability in your Bamboo system, its label (e.g. 'Ant') will appear in the Builder dropdown list when you configure a Job's builder (see Specifying a Builder). The builder you select will be used for every one of that Job's builds. That is, the Job can only be built by agents which have a capability whose label is specified in the Job's Builder field.

(info) An agent-specific capability is a capability that applies to one agent only. Note that the value of an agent-specific capability will override the value of a shared capability of the same name (if one exists).

To configure a new agent-specific Builder capability,

  1. Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click the 'Agents' link in the left navigation column to display the Agents page, which lists all Local and Remote Agents that currently exist in your Bamboo system.
  3. Click on the name of the agent whose new Builder capability you wish to configure. The Agent page is displayed.
  4. Click the 'Capabilities' tab (if necessary) and in the 'Agent-Specific Capabilities' section, click the 'Add Capability' link at the right. The 'Add Capability' page is displayed (see screenshot below).
  5. Set the 'Capability Type' field to 'Builder'.
  6. Select the appropriate 'Type' of Builder from the dropdown list.
  7. In the 'Builder Label' field, type a name/label for the Builder, which Bamboo presents in the 'Builders' dropdown list whenever a Job's builder is configured.
  8. In the 'Path' field, type the appropriate path. This will vary depending on the 'Type' you selected in the previous step; relevant instructions will be shown below the 'Type'.
  9. Click the 'Add' button. This will verify whether the Builder and Path you have specified are valid. If they are not, re-enter the values and then click the 'Add' button again.
