Why is a Bamboo CustomBuildCompleteAction implementation in my plugin unable to be cast?

David FALLAS

I have been trying to develop a plugin which implements the Bamboo CustomBuildCompleteAction module.

I wish to trace my plugin code using IDEA and have started the Bamboo instance from the command line - atlas-debug --product bamboo. Running IDEA in debug mode informs me that it has successfully connected the debug port.

Having placed a breakpoint at the first line of code in my override of the CustomBuildCompleteAction.run() method, I would expect to see it triggered upon successful completion of a manually triggered build. However I do not. Instead, I see in the Bamboo .log the following:

ERROR [AtlassianEvent::0-BAM::EVENTS:pool-2-thread-13] [NamedThreadFactory] Uncaught exception in thread AtlassianEvent::0-BAM::EVENTS:pool-2-thread-13

java.lang.ClassCastException: co.nz.xxxxx.bamboo.plugins.PostBuildCompleteNotifier cannot be cast to com.atlassian.bamboo.build.CustomPostBuildCompletedAction

Can anyone assist me to resolve this? What do I need to add/modify to ensure that my implementation of the CustomPostBuildCompletedAction is cast-able?

The cause of my problem was right there in the exception message and was staring me in the face:

"PostBuildCompleteNotifier cannot be cast to com.atlassian.bamboo.build.CustomPostBuildCompletedAction".

I had implemented the CustomPostBuildComplete interface...

public PostBuildCompleteNotifier implements CustomPostBuildCompleteAction

..but had declared the postBuildCompletedAction module in atlassian-plugin.xml:

<postBuildCompletedAction .../>

Silly boy - RTFM!
