Using Bamboo Specs from Microsoft .Net

by Peter J Butler

Built for bamboo-specs-6.4.0.

Pre-requisites

To make the best use of this build script you will need the following pre-requisites:

git
psake
maven
ikvm
nuget

Download and install Chocolatey

This example is going to use Chocolatey for installation management, you can get by without it but I recommend it as it makes the whole process of installation much easier.

You can download chocolatey here https://chocolatey.org.

Git

In case you don't already have git installed, use the following chocolatey command to install it.

C:\> choco install git

Psake

The build script uses psake, use the following chocolatey command to install it.

C:\> choco install psake

Maven

The build script uses maven to download the required java dependencies for the Atlassian Bamboo Specs packages, use the following chocolatey command to install it.

C:\> choco install maven

Note: This will also install the latest JDK if it is not already installed on your machine.

IKVM.NET

The build script uses ikvmc to convert java to dotnet, use the following chocolatey command to install it.

C:\> choco install ikvm

Note: This is really the heart of the process as it translates the java byte-code into CIL and compiles it into dotnet compatible DLL's.

dot-net-bamboospecs

Clone the following GitHub repository and change directory:

C:\> git clone https://github.com/peterjbutler/dotnet-bamboo-specs.git

C:\> cd dotnet-bamboo-specs

Build it!

Building the libraries is simple, just execute the psake build script:

C:\dotnet-bamboo-specs>psake

At the end the process should finish with Build Succeeded!, an example output is shown below:

C:\dotnet-bamboo-specs>psake
psake version 4.7.0
