Plan bamboo.build.working.directory showing old directory after export/import

Carlos Pereyra

I have a current bamboo instance on 5.12.3.1.  I exported all my data from the instance, installed a new instance on 5.14.5 and then imported the exported data.  I then updated to the latest version of bamboo.  So I currently have my original 5.12.3.1 instance in one folder and my new instance with the latest version.  When trying to build a plan that builds successfully in the original instance, I run into an error where bamboo.build.working.directory environment variable is using the home path of the original instance.  My original instance was located in C:\BuildServer my new instance is located at C:\BuildServer 2018.  Once of my steps uses an environment variable that looks like this "Mobile=${bamboo.build.working.directory}\" this is used in the postbuild step for MSBuild.  However, when that step runs instead of bamboo.build.working.directory being C:\BuildServer 2018\***** it is C:\BuildServer\*****  The only thing I can think of is that it kept information from the import and is using the old environment parameter.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Carlos,

Could you please open the C:\BuildServer 2018\bamboo.cfg.xml file and double check if the following parameter is set using the ${bambooHome} variable?

<property name="buildWorkingDir">${bambooHome}/xml-data/build-dir</property>

Not only this one but all other paths should be set using this variable.

Here is my config file for you to compare:
