How so I set build from mercurial bookmark?
I have a repository on Kiln than has some hg bookmarks, and I want TeamCity to build from the "master" bookmark on the default branch. From the reading the blog post http://blog.jetbrains.com/teamcity/2013/04/mercurial-bookmarks/ it seems like I should just be able to put "master" in the "default branch" field, and that should be it.
That's what I've done, but TeamCity is saying "VCS problem" with the error
Cannot find revision of the default branch 'master' of vcs root mercurial: https://my-company.kilnhg.com/Repository
What do I need to do to make this work? Other parts of our build process require hg, so switching to git for this isn't an option.

I think you misconfigured your VCS root. By default, default branch in HG is default.
Yea, but that blog post I linked to says "In TeamCity bookmarks can be used in branch and branch specification fields of VCS root settings just like regular branches." - so I thought I could just put in "master" in there and it would work.
If that isn't the case, how I make it only build from the bookmark master?
By default, local bookmarks (vs. branches) are not pushed to server (http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Bookmarks/). Please ensure first that bookmarks are pushed to server from your local repository.
Yup, they have been pushed to the server. They show up in the Kiln web-UI and they are pulled when I clone locally with mercurial.
You can go to VCS settings and set "Clone repository to:" to custom path, then go to this folder (on server) and check whether bookmark is present in cloned copy.
In addition, you check teamcity-vcs.log for some helpful information.
The bookmark is present when I use "Clone repository to" and I also checked the "system\caches\mercurial\hg_-1508064759688852481" folder and it has it there as well.
The teamcity-vcs.log shows both errors and successes. e.g.

It does seem like it might be building the correct branch, but I'm not sure 100% sure. But it still keeps showing this error message next to the "Current status" on the build config page.
Please enable 'debug-vcs' logging preset at Administration > Diagnostics, reproduce the problem and attach teamcity-vcs.log to the issue.
That's really odd. After setting that, the error has gone away and it shows a "master" tag next to the build on config page.
I'll try switching off the debug logging to make sure that the problem stays fixed.
Looks like that problem is still showing up after all (and I've switched debug-vcs back on)
Is there a way to privately send you the teamcity-vcs log? I don't want the commit messages etc. being public.
Send it to teamcity-feedback@jetbrains.com with a link to this thread.
