Bamboo can't find WAR file

Christian_mvojms

I have bitbucket on a GCP vm instance and bamboo on another. I've linked the two applications together and added the appropriate bitbucket repo to bamboo. When trying to deploy a tomcat server using the war file from the bitbucket repo, I get an error indicating the WAR file couldn't be found. Here's the message:

It looks like bamboo is trying to search for the WAR file in its own directory vs the bitbucket repo. Any suggestions?

Hey Christian,

I think you'll just need to pop target/gulc.war into the Tomcat Task WAR File field as it requires the directory path and filename, relative to the working directory.

Hope this helps

Hey Christian,

Bamboo's Tomcat deployment task requires the WAR file to be in the working directory of the build. You'll need to add a Source-code checkout task (before the Tomcat deployment task) to check it out from the repository into the working directory first.

Hope this helps.

Christian_mvojms

Thanks Jeremy, I'll try this out and get back to you.

Greetings, I'm running into the same issue. I've added the Source Code Checkout task and ensured the correct repo was configured. I also left the Checkout Directory blank. I used this as reference.

In the Deploy Tomcat task, I specified the /target/ directory in the WAR file field. But I get the follow message:

-------------------

You'll see that the git checkout was successful but, strangely, the war file still can't be found in the correct directory :

error 21-Apr-2018 11:16:22 Could not find war file at /var/atlassian/application/bamboo/xml-data/build-dir/TPR-TNM-JOB1/target. The application could not be deployed.

However, I ssh'd into my vm and found the war file in the target folder:

[root@bamboo-03 target]# pwd

/var/atlassian/application/bamboo/xml-data/build-dir/TPR-TNM-JOB1/target

[root@bamboo-03 target]# ls

gulc gulc.war m2e-wtp maven-archiver

What else could be wrong? Thank you for your help.

I thought it may have been a permissions issue per this link. I added the bamboo user to tomcast-users.xml but I get the same error.

Hey Christian,

I think you'll just need to pop target/gulc.war into the Tomcat Task WAR File field as it requires the directory path and filename, relative to the working directory.

Thanks for your help, Bamboo was able to find the war file. Appreciate your time.
