Teamcity-在构建和部署后如何在服务器上运行spring boot jar？

Question

I have a Rest API based on Spring boot, embedded with jetty. Normally I start it with java -Dloader.path=blablabla -jar blablabla.jar . I've configured a teamcity Build step to look for new check-ins to the git repo, pull and build (maven) the project, generate artifacts..

Further, I've added a Deploy step which has dependency on Build step (successful completion and artifact dependency).. Here, I use powershell to push the artifacts to the server on which i want the rest service to run.

A few questions:

1) Powershell - Is it the right way to publish files to the server from teamcity?

2) How do i get the teamcity to actually start my spring boot app? Some sort of a remote command execution?

Note: Both teamcity server and the app server are Windows.

Answer 1

Solved it myself:

1) Yes, powershell does the trick pretty neatly.

2) Got it to work with a combination of [WMICLASS] 's create() and Start-Process . Check my answer here .
