Bamboo, branches & TFS

Nick de Smith

Hi - I have JIRA 6.2 & Bamboo 5.4.2 running on two different servers in a Windows 2008 R2 environment. We are using TFS 2010 as our SVC system.

I can build individual branches easily in their own plans - the project is HUGE - when built, its over 100,000 files.

We use branches of the MAIN branch for specific projects, e.g. MAIN-ABC, however there may be new VS sln files to be built in MAIN-ABC that don't exist in MAIN (new functionality and all that) - I've manually created a MAIN-ABC branch but it seems you cannot add new tasks or disable underlying ones in the Bamboo branch - in fact, you can do VERY little except maybe select a new SVC branch

Is there a better way to achieve the end I'm after?

Thanks

Hi Nick,

Bamboo uses the same tasks across all branches. So you have to create tasks that can be used in every branch. For example, you can write a script task that builds any *.sln files it finds. Also you can use bamboo variables (branch name or something else) to customize the script task.
