Ensure order of builds

Hi,

I have an application consist of three components: API, Database, Client. My goal is to have separate build and deploy configuration for each component so they can be deployed faster. However, whn a new feature branch is created - then all components needs to be deployed with specific order.

TC configuration looks like this:

1. Build API
2. Build Database
3. Build Client
4. Deploy API
5. Deploy Database
6. Deploy Client

4, 5, 6 have snapshot depenedencies on 1, 2, 3 respectively.

I added VCS triggers on

• 4 - src/Api/**
• 5 - src/Database/**
• 6 - src/Client/**

Now, when a change is commited to a specific directory i.e. src/Client then Deploy Client triggers Build Client and when it finishes then Deploy Client is ran, which is exactly what I want.

In a scenario when a new feature branch is created - I need to deploy all components in specific order (might be manually triggered) - that is Deploy Database must be first, and then Deploy API and Deploy Client can be ran.

However I cannot set Deploy API to have Deploy Database snapshot dependency because when there are changes to src/API/** then database will be deployed which is something I dont want - I want to deploy components separately.

I also tried to add "Deploy new feature branch" configuration which allow me to have deploy steps in proper order, but then individual deploy configuration are also triggered.
