The working directory is where Bamboo temporarily puts the checked-out files it is building. By default, this directory is located under the  xml-data  directory in the Bamboo home directory.

To change the location of Bamboo's working directory:

  1. Shut down Bamboo.

  2. Open the <Bamboo-Home>/bamboo.cfg.xml file in a text editor. Find the following line -

    ....
    <property name="buildWorkingDir">/home/Bamboo-home/xml-data/build-dir</property>
....
  3. Edit the Bamboo working directory to point to a new folder on disk.
  4. Save the changes and restart Bamboo.
    Note: Bamboo will do a fresh checkout and perform a clean build of all your plans, once the directory is changed.
