How do I use a parameter in the artifact path?

[Bernard O'Flynn]

I have a parameter that defines what configuration to build for. Configurations map to environments.

The artifacts are built out to a folder that maps to the configuration and thereby the environment.

So I'd like to use the build plan variable and use that in the artifact definition.

How do I do this?

Apparently artifact paths can't accept parameters

What Task are you using to build? (i.e. what build tool?)

Build Plan variables are generally available during build time so assuming your build tool supports specifying this configuration it should be fine.

For example, if I'm using ant or maven and I want to pass a parameter, I set the parameter key=value pair as a Plan-level variable. Then in the task I can make my command parameters something like "${bamboo.myparameter}"
