Question

Does anyone know of a way to view entire source of a build via TeamCity - Jenkins has a nice feature whereby you can get to the workspace really easily. Hope this is possible out-of-the-box or via some other method. Thanks.

Solution

I don't know if there is a way to directly get to the source through the Team City interface, but I do know that as you inspect problems, you can get a stack dump. It wouldn't surprise me if you can.

But, I use a different work flow instead, since the CI's working environment should only be a checkout from your source. Therefore if you have your revision information, you can view the source from your repository:

  • Use the %build.vcs.number.1% property in your "Build Number Format" field; this will place the revision ID into the build's name. You can then view that source exactly in the repository.

  • You can configure where the checkouts go, but either way you can navigate to "Team City's" working directory if you have access to that box.

    • You can get the temporary WC directory through the %system.teamcity.build.checkoutDir% property if you want to see the directory on disk where the checkouts etc. happened at.

    • see this TeamCity article for more information on changing it.

  • You can turn on VCS Labeling under the VCS Settings, where a build is auto-labeled in your repository. That naming convention is also configurable.

Hope that helps.
