Any other way to put a value next to build name except 'teamcity.build.branch'?

Is there any other way to put a value next to build name except 'teamcity.build.branch'?

enter image description here

I need to specify a metadata next to each build that might be dynamic or might be result from a previous build configuration part of the build chain using TC SNAPSHOT dependencies.

Is that possible?

Solution

  • According to the TeamCity 9.x documentation, there's no other way to add a "label to each build" except via the teamcity.build.branch parameter. For Git & Mercurial, TeamCity provides additional parameters with the names of VCS branches known at the moment of build start via teamcity.build.vcs.branch.<VCS root ID>. If you just want to add a human-friendly description, you could try teamcity.build.triggeredBy and teamcity.build.triggeredBy.username.

    I see you've already asked this question on the JetBrains forums and been directed to a feature request on JetBrain's YouTrack. Oleg Gerovich mentions using the "triggered by" column there.

    It might be possible to create a plugin to do what you want. Now remember, you're only asking if it's possible in your question. Feel free to update your question. ;)
