触发快照依赖关系以在TeamCity中构建特定分支

Question

Let's say I have a project Foo configured with Git VCS root having default branch feature/foo . I'd like to have a snapshot dependency on a project Bar that is unit testing every feature branch on the same repo as Foo (ie, the VCS root for Bar has no default branch and is instead watching feature/* ).

What I see happening is that Foo can only trigger builds on Bar's <default> branch. Can I change it so that Bar gets triggered for the right branch?

Answer 1

It is impossible to configure VCS root without default branch in TeamCity (see related issue http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-23395 ). So if you do not define default branch for Bar build configuration it will be set to master by default. And if you trigger a build with default branch, all dependencies will be triggered with default branch as well.

The solutions is to configure the same branch specification for Foo configuration as for Bar (feature/*). If you run Foo build manually you need to select needed branch using Run Custom Dialog (Changes tab), if you run build using VCS trigger you need to configure Branch filter.
