Hi,
I'm trying to use TeamCity 6.0 with ClearCase 7.0.1.8.
TeamCity runs on Windows XP machine. Build Agent is also installed on the same machine.
When I run my build I'm getting the follwoing error:

[2010-12-21 11:08:12,120]  DEBUG [rmal executor 9] -      jetbrains.buildServer.VCS - VCS connection problem in build configuration TEST:: Release build: Failed for the root 'Test Root' #1: cleartool: Error: Bad command line: unterminated quoted string

I found on IBM web site that this error can be related to invalid usage of % character with cleartool.
https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=984&uid=swg21149187&ratlid=cctocbody
"The solution is to escape the % character by preceding each % with a second %".

Do you know any workaround to this issue? How could I confiugure TeamCity to run my builds successfuly?

My VCS Settings:
ClearCase view path: X:\myview
Relative path within the view: myproject\Source
Use ClearCase: BASE
Global Labeling: <disabled>

VCS checkout mode: Automatically on Server
Checkout Directory: <empty>
VCS labeling mode:Do not Label

Hi Dariusz,

Could you please provide us with server logs (http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/TCD6/Reporting+Issues#ReportingIssues-vcs)? We have to know a command which crashes ClearCase.

TIA,
Konstantin

Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for response.

Unfortunatelly I can't send you a full log file because of company policy but I found the command which
causes the error:

[2010-12-21 15:31:20,242] DEBUG [Normal executor 4] - .clearcase.ClearCaseConnection - interactive execute: cleartool lsvtree -obs -all M:\myview\myproject\Source\.@@\main\release1\release2\3\MyApplication\.@@\main\release1\release2\1\Child1\.@@\main\release1\release2\2\Child2\.@@\main\release1\1\Child3\.@@\main\release1\1\Child4\.@@\main\release1\1\Child5\.@@\main\release1\release2\1\MyResponse'.cs
[2010-12-21 15:31:20,336] DEBUG [Normal executor 4] - .clearcase.ClearCaseConnection - interactive execute: cleartool quit

It seems that we have in our repository the file with invalid character: MyResponse'.cs

I will try to rename it and try my build again.

Regards
Darek
