Is Bamboo SBT plugin compatible with Bamboo 5.0?

[Antti Plathan]

Atlassian Labs' Bamboo SBT plugin is the last plugin in our environment that isn't listed as compatible with Bamboo 5. Does anybody have production environment experience with the SBT plugin, i.e., does it work with Bamboo 5?

Hi, it seems that Bamboo SBT Task does not support Bamboo 5.0 and above. Apparently it is supported until version 4.4.3. Hope it helps.

[David Hoyt]

This is important for us and a serious blocker from adopting Bamboo. Can somebody resurrect this and get it working w/ Bamboo 5? We're currently evaluating Bamboo 5.4.2. If it's no longer supported, any chance it could be open sourced?

[Antti Plathan]

SBT plugin is not needed to use SBT with Bamboo. We uninstalled the plugin and use SBT with scripts in projects' root, i.e. a bash script in script/ci/{release, setup, tear_down, test}

Something like this:

#! /usr/bin/env sh
DIR=`pwd -P`
echo "CURRENT DIR: $DIR"
echo "JAVA_OPTS: $JAVA_OPTS"
echo "Cleaning project..."
/usr/local/bin/sbt $JAVA_OPTS clean
echo "Done."

What about test results?

[Richard Cross]

That's not a very clever argument: of course everything and anything can be done at command line, so by that logic no plugins are "needed" apart from the Script Plugin. The weakness in the using the Script Plugin is that your build job doesn't automatically generate the requirements it has, which means more manual maintenance, every time you upgrade SBT to a more recent version.

And, as David Hoyt points out, what about test results?

[Antti Plathan]

Agreed, but since there is no apparent upgrade for the plugin in sights, I provided a workaround.
