Bamboo

Setup Build to run tests in Bamboo (Windows - localhost)

  1. Download and install Atlassian Bamboo on one of your servers
  2. Before you install Bamboo, check that you're running a supported Java version and that the JAVA_HOME (pointing to JDK) and JRE_HOME (pointing to JRE) environment variable is set correctly

Download Bamboo

  1. Download Bamboo from the Atlassian download site.
    Note: It is highly recommended to avoid placing the Bamboo home directory in any Windows security controlled directory, for example, C:\Program Files
  2. Launch the Bamboo Windows installer to begin the installation wizard
  3. The installer requires you to specify two directories:
    Destination directory— This is the directory where Bamboo's application files will be installed. The default is:
    C:\Program Files\Bamboo
  4. Bamboo home directory— This is the directory where Bamboo will store its configuration data. If the directory you specify doesn't exist, Bamboo will create the directory when it launches. The default is:
    C:\Users\<current-user>\Bamboo-home
  5. Ensure that the Bamboo home directory is not located inside the <Bamboo installation directory>

Start Bamboo

  1. In the command line, change the directory to <Bamboo installation directory> and run the following command:
    bin\start-bamboo.bat
  2. In your Web browser, enter the following address: http://localhost:8085/

Configure Bamboo

When you launch Bamboo for the first time, the Bamboo setup wizard will display. The wizard will lead you through the Bamboo settings that you need to configure before you can start using it.

  • You must have a valid Bamboo license (evaluation or commercial) to use Bamboo. You can generate your own Bamboo evaluation license from your Atlassian account
  • Setup Admin Account: The final step of the setup wizard is to enter the details of the first registered user for the Bamboo system. This user will have global administrative privileges over the entire installation of Bamboo and should not be removed
  • Once you have entered the details for your administrator user, click Finish. The Bamboo dashboard will be displayed

NOTE: To avoid possible errors when trying to access the result page, the scenarios used for triggering from bamboo should NOT have the database set in the scenario XML. So it will use the default settings of the AIQ console.

Data flow and scope

TheLocker is the hand-off point for values produced by one tool or step and consumed by another. Define the value name and expected format before the producing step runs, then retrieve and validate it in the consuming step. Keep sensitive values scoped to the test and avoid logging secrets.
