You can view all the executable capabilities that have been defined in Bamboo on the 'Executables' page. These include local server capabilities, local agent-specific capabilities and remote agent-specific capabilities.
An executable is a program external to Bamboo used to automate processes. Generally, executables compile source code to generate compiled executable files (referred to as artifacts in Bamboo). Ant, Maven, MSBuild or PHPUnit are just some examples of executables that can be used as part of your build process.
New executables can be defined as capabilities in Bamboo. Once an executable has been defined in Bamboo, it can be configured as part of a Task.
Viewing and Configuring Executable Capabilities
To view and configure the Executable capabilities defined in Bamboo:
- Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
- Click the 'Executables' link in the left navigation column. The Executables page will be displayed, showing the list of all the Executable capabilities defined in your Bamboo system.
- To view a specific executable capability, click the specific executable's tab on the left. This will show you the agents and Jobs related to this executable capability, with which you can perform the following actions:
- To add a new executable as a local server capability, click the 'Add executable to server capabilities' link to navigate to the Server Capabilities page.

注意
- Bamboo's automatic detection of executables — When you install the Bamboo server application or the Bamboo Remote Agent application on another machine, either of these applications will automatically look for existing executables installed on the same machine (based on a combination of the machine's environment variables and other conditions). A 'executable capability' will be created for each executable that that either of these Bamboo applications find.
The environment variables and conditions that Bamboo uses to automatically detect and create executable capabilities are listed below. With the exception of the 'Command' executable, the paths for each automatically detected executable are based on the path 'string' values found within these environment variables.
- Ant —
ANT_HOME 環境変数
- Maven —
MAVEN_HOME 環境変数 (Maven 1)、M2_HOME または MAVEN2_HOME 環境変数 (Maven 2.x)
- Grails —
GRAILS_HOME 環境変数
- コマンド —
/bin/bash ファイルが存在していること
- PHPUnit — マシンの
PATH 環境変数値内の任意の場所に phpunit ファイルが存在していること
- Local agents and executable capabilities — Since Bamboo automatically looks for executables installed on the same machine and creates a 'executable capability' for each executable installation it finds, all existing and subsequent local agents that you create will possess these executable capabilities. Hence, when you access the 'Executables' page and view these executable capabilities, all local agents will be grouped together in the 'All local agents' category and you will only be able to remove these executable capabilities from all local agents, not from individual local agents.
