Custom Build from an extended tab Follow
Hello,
I'm writing a plugin to TeamCity and I would like to do the following things.
- Create an extended tab that shows certain options (our internal logic) in an extended tab. (This is actually done.)
- List available build agents on the extended tab. (How do I get a list of build agents?)
- List available parameters on the same tab. (How to I get a list of parameters?)
- When user clicks on "Run" button on the extended tab, it gathers the parameter values and build agent(s) and runs the build. (How do I execute builds using TeamCity APIs?)
I'm sorry if I jammed too many questions in one thread.

Hello,
I suppose you know build configuration where you want to start a build. If this is the case, you can obtain list of agents which can run build of this build configuration using method:
SBuildType#getCanRunAndCompatibleAgents(boolean includeDisabled)
Not sure what parameters do you need, but if you happen to know build configuration where you start build, you can use this method:
SBuildType#getParameters()
This method will return complete map of parameters configured for build configuration, including parameters inherited from projects and templates.
As to triggering builds, there are a few methods. First of all, to trigger a build with the same settings as in SBuildType you can use this method:
SBuildType#addToQueue(requestor);
Where requestor is a string describing who triggered this build. It can be arbitrary string.
But since you're asking about parameters I suppose you need to start customized build, i.e. build with custom parameters. In this case it is better to use BuildCustomizer. Something like this:
jetbrains.buildServer.serverSide.BuildCustomizerFactory customizerFactory; // Spring bean BuildCustomizer customizer = customizerFactory.createBuildCustomizer(buildType, null);p.addToQueue(requestor); // or p.addToQueue(agent, requestor) if you want to start build on specific agentHello,
I've actually figured them all out just yesterday but I still appreciate your reply. :)
The APIs are nicely organized that I was able to figure things out. I'm quite impressed how extendable TeamCity is. I do have different questions, but I will create another thread so that the question won't get mixed up with this one.
Thanks
Hi Hayato,
Can I ask if this plugin is being used personally or will you be sharing it? We are looking for the exact same functionality without looking into develop a plugin/extended the current one.
Thank you
