症状

All builds work fine when running the Bamboo server from the command line. However, some builds fail when Bamboo is started as a Windows Service. For example, a Visual Studio task shows this errors:

The error message might be different for other failing tasks.

原因

This is generally caused by account permissions of the user who runs the Bamboo service. By default, Bamboo uses a SYSTEM user, and this might cause some issues.

ソリューション

Make sure to use a local admin user to run the Bamboo server as per Running Bamboo as a Windows service as the local user article.

After setting up, if you still see errors, please check the User PATH variable. There is a great chance you have a PATH (user environment variables) overwriting PATH (system environment variables). Remove the contents of the User PATH and, if needed, append to the System PATH (using %USERPROFILE%).
