Bamboo CLI: CLI connector is not installed or enabled on the server

Question

Hi,

I keep getting the following error message, when I try to use the bamboo cli:

$/bamboo.sh --server http://192.168.1.104:8085 --user ... --password ... --action getPlanList --project "@all"

> Client error: CLI connector is not installed or enabled on the server.

I've followed the Installation Instructions and also double checked the points mentioned in ACLI-230. Without luck, unfortunately.

Here's what I've got:

Plain Vanilla Installation: Bamboo 5.12.2.1 (see Dockerfile)
CLI version: 5.4.0
Bamboo Add On: Run CLI Actions in Bamboo, 5.4.0 (successfully installed and rebooted server)
Bamboo Admin -> General Configuration -> Base URL: Set to same value that I'm using on CLI
CLI --server: Exact same URL I can successfully hit in browser

I can see that the CLI is trying to hit 
http://192.168.1.104:8085/rest/org.swift.bamboo.cli/latest/validatelicense. When I hit that URL directly, I get a 404, however. So, I guess that's part of the problem.

Any idea what's wrong?

Cheers,
patric

Actually the first 2 are the same.

* Bamboo Command Line Interface (CLI) add-on and installs on your Bamboo as the Bamboo CLI Connector
* The Bamboo client is what runs on your machine and needs to be installed following instructions found on the add-ons Get started panel or directly from the this web site - Downloads.

Works now. Thanks!

For anybody else having the same problem, there are actually three parts to this, which wasn't clear to me:

* The Bamboo CLI Connector, which I installed directly from the Manage add-ons section in Bamboo
* Bamboo Command Line Interface (CLI) add-on, which I downloaded (jar file) and then uploaded again in the Manage add-ons section in Bamboo. (this was the bit that was not clear to me)
* The actual Bamboo Command Line Interface (CLI) that runs on your local machine

I clarified and corrected the link to the Marketplace entry for the connector.
