Debugging CVS
If you are having trouble with CVS integration then please try enabling debug logging to investigate further. Bamboo ships with the netbeans cvs client.
Enabling logging on Bamboo Server
To enable debug logging for the client add -DcvsClientLog=system to your java command line when starting bamboo.
This will generate cvsClient.log.in and cvsClient.log.out files in your <Bamboo-Install> directory.
Enabling logging on Bamboo agent
To enable logging on Bamboo agent: you will need to run the Agent without its Supervisor ('Classic' mode). After Downloading the classic Agent, run the following command:
1
java -Dbamboo.home=RemoteAgentHome -DcvsClientLog=system -jar atlassian-bamboo-agent-<VERSION>.jar http://bamboo-host-server:8085/agentServer/
