Plan variables that are based off agent capabilities?

Osman Ullah

Our project uses a 3rd party SDK which is kept on the build agent. I store the path to this in a capability on the agent. So I have FLEX_4.5 as one capability and FLEX_4.6 as another capability. Currently I am passing these to ant in the task configuration. However, we have one branch that uses 4.5 and one branch that uses 4.6. How can I configure Bamboo so that I can do a branch build using the older SDK? I tried setting a plan variable based off the agent capability but that didn't work.

How are you passing them to the ant task? (i.e. command arguments?)

I am thinking a hacky approach would be to checkin a properties file in each branch that denotes the version of flex it wants.

flex=4.5

flex=4.6

and then you can use the https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.bamboo-variable-inject-plugin plugin to set that as a variable, which can be used in the ant configuration.
