Convert Build Definitions into Bamboo Build Plans

[Volodymyr Havryliuk]

Hello, community. Is there any tool or way to convert TFS 2010 build definitions to Bamboo build plans? Thank you in advance.

Hi Volodymyr,

I googled around for you and found the WEB page below that is not match the exact TFS version, but sketches a possibly good idea - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/build/visual-studio-build?view=vsts

Apparenty you can export a MSBuild definition to YAML format.

How this combines with Bamboo? Bamboo supports Specs describing plan configuration in YAML leading to have corresponding plans created or updated automatically within Bamboo.

Please find our Bamboo YAML Specs Reference here: https://docs.atlassian.com/bamboo-specs-docs/6.6.3/specs-yaml.html#introduction

In the this document, you'll find "MSBuild" as Executable capabilies defining external programs which can be called from out of Bamboo YAML Specs.

Please note that Bamboo YAML Specs offer just a subset of the capabilities provided by Bamboo's Java Specs. Please refer to the above reference document to figure out if YAML Specs for Bamboo offers enough for your build plans.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Gerhard
