Automate Team City operations

Hi Paul

TeamCity provides REST interface for such tasks.
Also there are a few actions can be performed by Accessing Server by HTTP.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the quick response. REST api seems like the way to go. I will have a look at it.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

I had a look at the REST api documentation but I don't see a way to perform "Archive Project" operation. Can anyone please let me know if this particular operation can be automated?

Thanks,

Paul

It's mentioned in Project Settings section.
You can send PUT requests to http://<teamcity>/app/rest/projects/<id>/archived resource.

Hi Michael,

Thanks again for the quick response. Based on the information provided in the Project settings section, I tried the following command

"curl -v --request PUT http://<user>:<password>@<teamcityserver>/httpAuth/app/rest/projects/id:<ProjectId>/archived"

It runs without any error but the project isn't archived. May be I am missing something or the syntax isn't right. Could you please help?

The delete works fine though with the following command

"curl -v --request DELETE http://<user>:<password>@<teamcityserver>/httpAuth/app/rest/projects/id:<ProjectId>"

Thanks,

Paul

You also need explicitly set Content-Type HTTP header:

curl --request PUT http://user:password@host/httpAuth/app/rest/projects/projectN/archived -d true --header "Content-Type: text/plain"

Hi Michael,

Fantastic! that worked like a charm. Thank you very much for your timely help. Much appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul
