Setting up Bamboo SVN commit build trigger - visualsvn-server

Question

Bamboo CI has a build in feature of having the subversion program trigger a build in bamboo when someone commits to the repository. I followed the instructions of what to put in the post commit hook but I am not sure what the 2 arguments are supposed to be for the postcommitbuildtrigger.sh file. Lets say the project name is TEST and the build name is TESTBUILD and the server url is http://localhost:8085. I wrote this in the post commit hook command line.
/<pathtopostcommit.sh> TEST TESTBUILD
Question
The post commit .sh file is on a windows machine. It could be because windows doesnt run .sh files but if thats so does anyone know how to set up this trigger on windows?
Also, I think this will trigger a build immediatly? Is is possible to trigger bamboo to run a poll instead so the build will obey the quiet period?

Answer 1

Have to write your own scripts. Bamboo only distributes mac and linux scripts.

Answer 2

Ok I wrote my own. It's so much nicer than subversion poll time-outs. Tested on:
VisualSvn Server 2.7.2;
Windows Web Server 2008 R2.
PowerShell 2.0
BambooWebApiTrigger.bat
A batch file runner for PowerShell in C:\SvnHooks\:
#echo OFF
rem this file just makes spawning powershell from VisualSvn a tad easier...
rem
rem Args from VisualSvn Server are ignored. Pass Bamboo BUILD KEY as the first
rem parameter to this script.
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File C:\SvnHooks\BambooWebApiTrigger.ps1 -key %1
BambooWebApiTrigger.ps1
A PowerShell script to run System.Net.WebClient, also in C:\SvnHooks\. Overwrite bamboo.yourdefaultdomain.com with your local Bamboo server:
# A Powershell script to trigger Bamboo to build a specific key
param (
[string]$baseurl = "http://bamboo.radicalsystems.com.au:8085",
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string]$key,
[string]$tmp = $null
)
$fullUrl = $baseurl + "/updateAndBuild.action?buildKey=" + $key
if (!$tmp) {
$tmp = [io.path]::GetTempFileName()
}
echo "Pinging Bamboo API at '$fullUrl'"
$client = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$client.DownloadFile($fullUrl, $tmp)
# comment Remove-Item to see the results. It is a HTML result with success message.
# echo "Results are in $tmp"
Remove-Item $tmp
Configure VisualSvn
Right click on project in VisualSvn Server Manager > Properties > Hooks > Post-commit hook (Edit).
Enter this line after any others:
C:\SvnHooks\BambooWebApiTrigger.bat BambooProjectKey
where BambooProjectKey is the key, found after your bamboo url when browsing the Build Plan (not the project). It usually has a hyphen in it: http://bamboo.yourdomain.com:8085/browse/FOO-BAR. In this case, FOO-BAR would be the key.
Configure Bamboo
Change your Bamboo trigger to Repository triggers the build when changes are committed
Options
You can overwrite the key from the VisualSvn post-commit hook dialog, as well as Bamboo base URL and temp file location from the batch file runner.
