Build fails on some agents but not on others.

[Sander T]

Dear all,

we have some (linux) agents which are governed by puppet,

on one of those agents we get following exception:

Error occurred while running Task 'Delete integration and recreate it(2)' of type com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.scripttask:task.builder.script.

...but not on others...

the /tmp folder is writable, by the process owner of the agent.

Can anyone give any pointers where to look or what to investigate?

This is the script we try to execute:

${bamboo.capability.system.git.executable} remote add vp ${bamboo.planRepository.repositoryUrl}
echo "Deleting integration"
${bamboo.capability.system.git.executable} branch -D integration
echo "Creating integration locally"
${bamboo.capability.system.git.executable} checkout -b integration
echo "Push origin integration. Repository url : ${bamboo.planRepository.repositoryUrl}"
${bamboo.capability.system.git.executable} push -f vp integration

This is about Bamboo's temp direcotry in <bamboo-install>/temp and not about the java temporary directory which is /tmp by default.

<bamboo-install>/temp should be writable by the user running bamboo :-)
