How do I check to see if running as a remote agent or local?

[Jason Huntley]

If seen this in your source code base:

private boolean isOnLocalAgent() {
        return !(buildDirectoryManager instanceof RemoteBuildDirectoryManager);
    }

However, it doesn't seem to work from a remote agent. I'm assuming this is switched on the server side, to tell the build processor where the build is occuring.

I need to figure out how to check if my build is being run from a remote agent vs local.

This check needs to occure within a standard CustomBuildProcessor:

public class MyProcessor extends BaseConfigurableBuildPlugin implements
    CustomBuildProcessor {

    private BuildDirectoryManager buildDirectoryManager = null;

        public void
                    setBuildDirectoryManager(BuildDirectoryManager buildDirectoryManager) {
        logger.debug(String.format(
            "setBuildDirectoryManager: setting build directory manager, %s..",
            buildDirectoryManager.toString()));
        this.buildDirectoryManager = buildDirectoryManager;
    }

    private boolean isOnLocalAgent() {
        return !(buildDirectoryManager instanceof RemoteBuildDirectoryManager);
    }

Our implementation of isOnLocalAgent() is admitedly hacky but it works both on local and remote agents. For example, our git plugin relies on it. If it doesn't work for you I suggest looking at Spring injection in your plugin. Do you have all the "component-import" statements in atlassian-plugin.xml ?
