Do Subversion and Bamboo applications need to be on the same machine ?

Question

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Configuring source code management triggers for Subversion

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a remote trigger for my plan from our Subversion server.

Documentation says the post-commit script must contain the following line:

/path-to-your-bamboo-installation/scripts/svn-triggers/postCommitBuildTrigger.sh base-url BUILD-KEY

But this suggest that the Subversion server is on the same machine than Bamboo. If I try typing the absolute path to the script in another machine, of course the script answers saying it can't find the path specified.

How to target the postCommitBuildTrigger.sh from another server?

Thanks

Yes, in this case you would be using the Python version instead (.py). Please, make sure you have Python installed and available to your system in the PATH environment variable.

You will notice postCommitBuildTrigger.py has a script written and an example on how to use it.

Thanks for this answer ! I will try this but before on last question : I guess that as I'm running all under Windows, I need to use the .py file instead of the .sh file, right ?

Hello Brice,

Thank you for your inquire.

If you are using a remote SVN server, copy file "atlassian-bamboo/repositoryScripts/svn-triggers/postCommitBuildTrigger.sh" to the SVN repository .../hook/post-commit folder so that the postCommitBuildTrigger.sh file can be accessible from post-commit trigger file.

Edit the Subversion repository's hooks/post-commit trigger file with something like:

/path/to/postCommitBuildTrigger.sh http://localhost:8085/api/rest/updateAndBuild.action?buildKey=PROJ-PLAN

See below for more information about the scripts. Please refer to Configuring source code management triggers for Subversion.

If you find this answer useful, I would kindly ask you to accept it so the same will be visible to others who might be facing the same issue you have inquired.

Thank you for your understanding.
