Bamboo Remote Agent Cleanup of build-dir

SG_p11cl8

Bamboo remote agents do not cleanup after themselves, no matter what cleanup jobs are enabled on the bamboo server. The directory

\xml-data\build-dir

just keeps growing until someone manually deletes old files.

What settings are required for bamboo to cleanup on the remote agents, the same way it does on the server itself? I found some very old feature requests and answers but I don't believe they are representing the current state.

Thanks

Hello @SG

To clean up the build folder after each build you can:

Plan Configuration -> Other -> Clean working directory after each build

Or, if you prefer cleaning the build folder before each build:

Plan Configuration -> Job -> Add task -> Clean working directory task (as the first task on the first Job)

Or you can even set both, just in case.

Kind regards,

There is a setting you can enable in each build to clean the directory after the build. It's called something like: "clean working directory after build"

I do not have access to a Bamboo instance myselfy immediately but that's how I did it for years.

An alternatvive is to schedule a cronjob at times where you're sure nothing will be running.

Hello Eduardo

Thanks, but shouldn't this data be cleaned up according to the expiry plan? We build on the bamboo server itself and on a remote agent and this build-up of data only happens on the remote agent. I would prefer setting a global expiry instead of adjusting each build plan.

Kind Regards

Hello @SG

Build expiry will only purge artifacts and logs created by Bamboo during the build.

Other files that are created as part of the build process are not controlled by Bamboo and are left in their locations so developers can investigate issues if necessary. This is by design.
