Why the Bamboo $PATH variable is different

homeniuk

Hi,

I would like to know why the command echo $PATH is different in terminal and Bamboo CLI Task. In Terminal looks like

bamboo@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/home/bamboo/.rvm/bin

and within the task like this

22-Dec-2014 10:48:14
Starting task 'echo $PATH' of type 'com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.scripttask:task.builder.script'
22-Dec-2014 10:48:14
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
22-Dec-2014 10:48:14
Finished task 'echo $PATH' with result: Success

Any idea why this both commands return different results?

Paths are derived from parent processes and if there is none from the users and the global profile (Linux service). So basically the path depends on how a process is started.

Hi @Mike Friedrich, thanks for your answer! The solution of my problem was the following line in the startup script in /etc/init.d. /bin/su -m $USER -c "cd $BASE/logs && $BASE/bin/startup.sh &> /dev/null" I replace the -m argument with an normal hyphen (-), so the bamboo start with login shell of the bamboo user /bin/su - $USER -c "cd $BASE/logs && $BASE/bin/startup.sh &> /dev/null"

I would always prefer the single dash way, also for security reasons. Make sure there is no variable in the init script which the startup.sh needs.

I agree with MIke. You could set the PATH in startup.sh that way its not dependent on the interactive login account.
