Bamboo yaml specs vs pom.xml?

[Robert Kulyassa]

I try to make our first Bamboo YAML specs build, no luck so far.

I created a new (empty) repository for the YAML files and added this to bamboo as a linked repository and enabled Bamboo specs for that.  I placed a new YAM in the  bamboo-specs directory (BTW: the documentation doesn't mention the dir I had to figure out from logs). My specs file is very simple, based on the dummy example in the documentation (yes, I have an 'XP' project):

---
project:
 key: XP
 plan:
 key: TEST1
 name: Bamboo specs test plan
stages:
 - jobs:
   - scripts:
     - echo 'Going to kill the dragon, watch me'
     - sleep 1
     - echo 'Nailed it'

And now I see an error on the "Sepcs Status" tab, however the error log is an empty file.

In the bamboo log I see the problem, it's missing a pom.xml file.

2018-07-30 17:28:13,015 INFO [15-BAM::SpecsDetection:pool-22-thread-2] [RssDetectionRunnable] Exception while executing RSS detection for repository 171999235

 at com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkState(Preconditions.java:197)

Why do I need a pom,xml for bamboo specs? And what to put there?

ps: Bambo version 6.5.0

Hope this helps a little bit. I'm still having problems with specs too.
