for loop with java spec task

Question

I'm trying to add tasks to a java spec job with a for loop, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do it. I was hoping there was something like job.addTask(new VcsCheckoutTask().addCheckoutOfDefaultRepository()); so that I could add tasks from a loop like this job.addTask(new ScriptTask().fileFromPath(FILES[i]));
}String[] FILES = "${bamboo.REPOS}".split(",");
for (int i = 0; i < FILES.length; i++) {
Any ideas?

Section about variables you mentioned is about variables available for plans and deployments.

Variables can be used in configuration fields of tasks

Maybe we should improve it to say that variables are not available for Specs logic. All environment available for Specs is reachable through https://docs.atlassian.com/bamboo-specs-docs/9.1.1/specs.html?java#java-specs-utilities

Well then the documentation on Java specs isn’t very clear. Specifically this section regarding variables:

Task[] tasks = new Tasks[10];
tasks[0] = new VcsCheckoutTask...
tasks[1] = new ScriptTask....
job.tasks(tasks)

There's no way to pull in Bamboo variables when Bamboo process specs file. You have to keep that variable at your code, not Bamboo. The reason is that you can run specs processing from your workstation with mvn -Ppublish-specs to update Bamboo server configuration without code commit to repository
