How Do I Change an Agent's Sandbox?

[aje...@webmd.net]

I'm evaluating Go as a replacement for CruiseControl.NET. Our current build servers have a dedicated D:\ drive for building on. Is there a way to tell a Go agent to use a different directory than C:\Program Files (x86)\Go Agent?

Depends on the installer you use. If you're using the EXE installer, you should get a screen like this during installation:

If you're using a zip "installer", then, the directory where you unzip it and start it from is where it will run from.

Hello,

Is it possible to change the sandbox on a mac ?
I tried to run the go agent passing options '/D <path>' ( like windows installer) with no success.

Thanks.

Hello Aravind,

Is there a way to change the sandbox path of Go Agent on OSX. I've searched a lot but was out of luck. The problem that I am currently facing is that, I have generated data that resides in my derived data and when I am trying to copy that to my pipelines, I am not able to. The reason being the folder name has spaces and the (ditto & copy) functions are failing.

Thanks,

Ravi

Hi Ravi,

If you quote your copy command's arguments, they should work just fine
with spaces. Have you given that a try?

I've managed to move the sandbox path on OSX by using the 'overrides.env' file.
Since this file is sourced as a bash script, I've created one with the following content:

export WORKING_DIRECTORY=~/.goagent
cd "$WORKING_DIRECTORY"

You could also alter the 'Go Agent.app/Contents/MacOS/go-agent' inside the .app package, but this would void the signature.
