High As a user of Perforce, I don't want Bamboo to ever "clean" the build area.
All it does is mess up the environment. It might work if it understood it needed to do a force sync after deleting all the files (p4 sync -f ). There was an option saying "don't manage my workspace" and I have always selected it. But Bamboo does not respect it. For me this is critical and it is a bug.
For instance, if I move the plans to a new server, I will change the name of the workspace. Bamboo will delete all the files, the build will fail. I have to go on the server, do a force sync, re-run the bootstrapping process for our application, re-run the build.
There is no way to do this cleanly.
[BAM-12855] Bamboo cleans the workspace when I don't want Bamboo to manage my workspace
Hi Gail,
Looks like that option has a few issues with it (see BAM-12587). We are investigating a fix in our current sprint and ill get back to you ASAP when I know more.
Thanks
James
