Can Bamboo build and test non-Java projects?

[Jeremy Largman]

What's needed to run a build using Bamboo?

[Adrian Adrian · Accepted solution]

Bamboo can be used to build just about anything. It's not limited to Java projects.

In addition to out-of-the-box support for Ant, Maven, make, NAnt and Visual Studio, Bamboo can build anything that can be built with a custom command or shell script. This should cover just about everything.

There are also a number of third-party plug-ins that provide integration between Bamboo and non-Java languages, and a plug-in API that lets you develop your own.

We are using Bamboo with CMake almost transparently. The problem we had was with CTest as its output is not understood by Bamboo. I have written an XSL-TR to transform it to JUnit format. Let me know if you need it.

Barthelemy, that sounds awesome. Are you planning to convert this into a Bamboo Task?

Bamboo has supported PHP for a long while. 3.1 supports .Net, NAnt, MSBuild etc out of the box. Shell scripts are of course always an option.

Barthelemy, would love to get that XSL-TR transform for Ctest -> JUnit format.
