How can I specify a build path for a remote bamboo agent?

[Wendy Bohannon]

Instead of using ~/bamboo-agent-home/xml-data/build-dir/<proj-plan-job-key> as the build directory, I would like to specify a build directory as /data/xyz. How can I do that?

I was hoping to solve the exact same problem - the issue with breaking things down into tasks rather than sub-projects is (for us), our "projects" are huge. Having to rebuild *all* of them should code in just one project be updated is not feasible.

I meant the path is /data/xyz -- not /data/xyz/<proj-plan-job-key>. In other words, we don't want <proj-plan-job-key> to be in the path -- we want to setup several squential jobs that share the same building directory.

Why don't you give a try http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Task then?

You need to edit the bamboo-agent.cfg.xml found in ~/bamboo-agent-home . Just specify a different buildWorkingDirectory.

Do you mean /data/xyz or /data/xyz/<proj-plan-job-key> ?
