Starting Node application from Bamboo

[Dave Cooper]

Hey there,

I have a Node application that I would like to start/launch from a Bamboo task in a deployment plan. However, since running a Node application is technically "forever", it causes the deployment plan to hang. Is there a way to get Bamboo to launch a node application without causing the deployment plan to run forever?

Cheers

Just Curious if you were able to find a solution for this? Thanks

Hey @mattwolf - I was indeed!

Basically I have my node application being started as a Windows service (using NSSM because it has all the functionality I need coupled with an easy to use command line interface) and I get my deployment task to stop the service, upload the artifact and then start the service again. Works a treat! If you have any more questions about it, I'd be happy to go into detail for you.
