Pipe output of Maven task to file

Markus Schulte1

I would like to do

mvn versions:display-dependency-updates > mvn-versions-dependency-updates.txt

 

I cannot do this via Maven3.x-task. When adding "> mvn-versions-dependency-updates.txt" to the goals, I am getting

Unknown lifecycle phase

 

Well, "> mvn-versions-dependency-updates.txt" is not a goal, so the error is fine - but

 

How can I pipe maven output to file via Maven3.x-task?

You can't pass non Maven settings to Maven task. If you need to achieve this goal you have to use script task, use Maven3.x capability there and pass whatever argument you want

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Bamboo+variables#Bamboovariables-Usingcapabilities

In your case it will be something like this

${bamboo_capability_system_builder_mvn3_Maven_3}/bin/mvn -v > maven.version

As good reference of environment variables available during the build, see Job log tab, there you can find correct name of capability you can use in script task
