Need to have build automatically retry for subversion problems
We have been having some flakiness with our subversion repository and
sometimes builds fail, like so:
#479 Unable to collect changes Artifacts No artifacts No
changes
dev1Agent
07 May 09 01:00 (3m:44s)
The problem is transitory so restarting it generally succeeds - however
it would be helpful if there was a setting to retry the build, say 15
minutes after it fails for this kind of error.
Is there a feature like this?
If not, are there any pending requests for such a feature that I can
vote for?
If not, I will submit one.
Thank you,
Donald

Hello Donald,
Are you sure that this flakiness is not caused by TeamCity? I mean, there may be too many requests from TeamCity to your subversion server.
Also, there is a feature to re-add build to the build queue after a failure (with a given timeout). If your builds usually successful, you may want to
use it (see Build Triggers section).
Regarding your request - we could probably add an option to the trigger mentioned above to re-add build to queue only if it was failed because of
VCS problems. This definitely makes sense and we don't have such a request in the tracker, AFAIK.
Kind regards,
KIR

Thank you, Kirill. I have filed this request - TW8183
In the meantime, the existing feature will be sufficient.
