Teamcity - parametrized builds

Is there any way to configure parametrized builds in team city?

I need to pass a few parameters before actually triggering the build. I have multiple releases for a project and I need to pass the release version manually each time my build fires (It's not an CI Build)

I would then use this release version in my build accordingly.

Solution

  • If you really don't want to use TeamCity to manage your version numbers then one option is to create a BuildVersion (or whatever you want to call it) build parameter for your configuration.

    You then need to manually define the version each time you trigger a build; you can do this by clicking the custom build button and entering the version against the parameter in the subsequent dialog.

    You can then use the BuildVersion property in your script.

    This, however, does not stop people from executing the build without defining that parameter though (may cause some mayhem).
