Plan specific config

[Mikko Sartanen]

In order to run e2e-tests I need to provide some configuration (e.g. json-file) to my build plan, yet I do not want to store the config in vcs or in any other external source.

Hi @Mikko Sartanen

I hope you are talking about a Bamboo build running on Linux. Assuming that is the case, please consider the following JSON content as an example:

{"menu": {
  "id": "file",
  "value": "File",
  "popup": {
    "menuitem": [
      {"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"},
      {"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"},
      {"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"}
    ]
  }
}}

You could embed this content in a script task using the following configuration:

• Interpreter: Shell
• Script Location: Inline
• Add the following content for script
  

  read -d '' filename << EOF
  
  {"menu": {
    "id": "file",
    "value": "File",
    "popup": {
      "menuitem": [
        {"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"},
        {"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"},
        {"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"}
      ]
    }
  }}
  
  EOF
  echo "$filename" > filename.json

The script task will create the file you need and it could be configured to run right before the e2d-tests.

Let me know what you think about this.
