Bamboo 3.4 : MSTest Parser

This page describes how to configure a MSTest Parser executable for a Task.

When creating a new Job or configuring an existing one, you need to specify the Tasks that will execute the Job's builds. You must specify an executable for each Task. If you specify an Ant, Grails or Maven executable, you will also need to choose a JDK.

When creating a new Plan, you can configure the Tasks for the Plan's default Job.

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.

Configuring a MSTest Parser Executable for a Task

Before you begin:

  • .Net Builder Tasks in Bamboo (e.g. NAnt) do not parse test information as part of the Task. You must configure a Test Task (e.g. MSTest Parser), if you want test results from the Builder Task to be parsed.

To configure a MSTest Parser executable for a Task:

  1. Navigate to the Task configuration for the Job (this will be the default Job if creating a new Plan).
  2. Click the name of the desired MSTest Parser Task, or click 'Add Task' and then 'MSTest Parser' if creating a new Task.
  3. Update the Task settings:
    • 'Task Description' — Enter a description of the Task, for display in Bamboo.
    • 'MBUnit Test Results File' — Enter the name of the test results file. The test file must be in MSTest format. For more information on MSTest, see this MSDN page.
  4. Click the 'Save' button to save your changes.
