Bamboo Rails¶ ↑

This Rails gem/plugin just contains a couple of tasks that make life easier when dealing with the Atlassian Bamboo Continuous Integration Server. All it does is to create a rake task, bamboo, which will run your full test suite (be it Cucumber, RSpec or Test::Unit) and use the ci_reporter gem to format the results in a manner that Bamboo will happily consume.

If you’re installing as a plugin with a recent version of Rails, it’s totally straightforward:

script/plugin install git://github.com/rubaidh/bamboo_rails.git

If you want to install it as a gem, that should be straightforward, too, but there’s an extra couple of steps. First of all configure Rails to load it in config/environment.rb:

config.gem "bamboo_rails", :lib => false

Then make sure the gem is installed:

sudo rake gems:install

(skipping ‘sudo` if that’s not your thing). Finally, you’ll have to create a Rakefile which requires the bamboo task. Create the file lib/tasks/bamboo.rake in your project with the following content:

require 'bamboo_rails/rake/task'

It’s not rocket science: :-)

rake bamboo
