How to preconfigure remote bamboo agent exectuables with bamboo-capabilities.properties?

Jay Barra

I'm trying to preconfgure remote agents on a machine template so I can clone it out easily when the agents register with Bamboo. I have my bamboo-capabilities.properties file in the bin directory of the remote agent where the agent code runs from and when it does register with Bamboo I see listed the properties I told it about but Bamboo is claiming that the agent can't run any jobs that it should.

So I have several lines similar to this

system.builder.Command.NSIS=C:\\Program Files\\NSIS\\makensis.exe
system.builder.Command.doxygen=C:\\Program Files\\doxygen\\doxygen.exe

And I see when registered that the agent came up with those properties in it automatically when registering. But Bamboo thinks that the agent does not meet the requirements of any plans.

Is there a separate tag for registering exectuables?

edit:

In the capabilties page there are now duplicates for the capabilities I configured to be detected automatically.

What do the Job requirements say? It should highlight the unmatched requirements.

Also which version of Bamboo is it? If it has tasks, you're probably better off defining inline script tasks that would just execute these commands (you can use the capability in the script body, it will be substituted).
