This plugin provides Git support to the excellent Atlassian Bamboo continous integration server.
It is compatible with Bamboo 2.2.x and above, including 2.5.
It also works on Windows, but requires cygwin git (not msysgit).
- Full branch support
- Supports fairly avanced git-fu and handles branches, merges and rebases well.
- Regular git usage or git-hub projects.
- Assuming git-hub hooks work with your bamboo version, you should be able to get hooks too.
- Excellent test coverage of all operations
The current release is 1.2.2 Only the latest release is available for download. Older releases will have to be built from source, which is really easy.
Normally there will be a new binary release every time anything significant changes in the plugin. Recent activity has mostly been focussed on improving test quality, hence there may be commits on "master" that are unreleased. "master" always contains the lastest version.
Rebasing may happen on non-master branches, master will not be rebased. (I did some rebasing when I took over maintaining the project)
git clone git://github.com/krosenvold/bgit.git cd bgit # optionally checkout an old version from a tag mvn install # the generated .jar will be inside "target" folder. # If problems with unit tests failing, remove masterRepo and testRepo* folders # You MUST have git:// protocol access to github.com to be able to build. If not you can add -DskipTests to mvn command. # If you're running on an old-ish git (for instance 1.6.3.3) an the testCloneThenRebaseLocal test fails, you need to run # git config --global user.email "you@example.com" # git config --global user.name "Your Name"
A lot of people prefer a double symlink installation of the jar file when building from source: Assumes bgit is in ~/bgit
ln -s ~/bgit/target/git-plugin-1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar ~/current-git-plugin ln -s ~/current-git-plugin $BAMBOO_INSTALL_DIR/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/git-plugin.jar
In this way you can just change the symlink in your home directory as the version number changes, instead of messing with copying the jar file.
* Copy to $BAMBOO_INSTALL_DIR/webapp/WEB-INF/lib * Remove older versions from same folder * Restart BambooNow when you create or edit plans you will be able to select “Git” as the repository provider.
The plugin delegates most of its configuration to the underlying os shell. As long as this is set up properly, you should be able to access the repositories.
All the groundwork was done by Don Brown from Atlassian. Until Atlassian can provide resources to the plugin I will be mantaining it here on github
It is important that permissions and git setup is correct on ALL nodes (with or without remote agents)Also ensure that all remote agents AND the local agent can perform the clone, permission problems related to file systems often give low-quality error messages, often related to complaints about the "checkout" folder.
If you are using SSH make sure to use ssh keys. In general, make sure that a shell script (running as the same user) can pull from your repo. If it can't then Bamboo will not be able to checkout neither.1.2.2 & 1.2.1
Issue 8, 11 and 12 fixed in these two. Time for a binary release ;)
1.2 RELEASE NOTES
- Fixed race condition where build agent could check out different version than master bamboo agent thought.
- Fixed issue where the build would not move on when the last-built revision was no longer present in the repository due to rebasing. Change detection was returning "no change"
- Does not show full email address - nice to keep those spammers away (Thanks to Luke Taylor)
- Fixed issue with "older" git versions (1.6.3.3) and branch detection.
- Tested agents and agent based builds, and they work well.
1.1.9 RELEASE NOTES
- This version includes greatly improved checkout/fetch/update algorithm that should also handle rebases fairly well. Change detection upon rebase is still somewhat in the blue - it shouldn't crash but it won't give too much valuable information either. That's what you get for messing with history.
1.1.8 RELEASE NOTES
Fixed regression introduced with checkout logic in 1.1.6
1.1.7 RELEASE NOTES Thanks to Benjamin Reed (RangerRick) Switched to bamboo 2.5 libs, bamboo 2.5 compatible. Still works on 2.4.x.
1.1.6 RELEASE NOTES All changes thanks to Ivan Sungurov (isungurov)
- Does not re-clone repository when switching branch
- Internal change to use checkout instead of merge upon update. May improve rebasing..
- Updated to 2.4 libs. Probably still runs on older versions.
1.1.5 RELEASE NOTES
- Fixed problem with rebased repos where out-of order dates would cause bamboo to loop infinitely (Thanks to Alex Fisher for patch)
- Works on windows
1.1.4 RELEASE NOTES
- Commit SHA1 numbers are included in top-level build log.
- Better error message when non-existing branch is selected for build
1.1.3 RELEASE NOTES (big thanks to Kristian Rosenvold)
-
This should support branches properly. Please note that when changing branches on a build, you still need to clean the build using the bamboo console.
-
This should also fix the file list in the commit history view.
-
Also, in 1.1.1 you needed to specify “checkout” as a subdirectory name under configuration\builder. This should not be done for this version of the plugin (the “checkout” folder is still used in the file structure internally, but the plugin tells bamboo about it so that you dont have to do it on every build!)
-
The fix also contains working unit tests for some features.
