Build parameter referencing
Answered
Hi, is it possible to reference build parameters in agent requirements?
I'd like to reference a build parameter such as 'tool.version' to a 'system.tool.available_versions' to make sure my agent has the needed version for this specific tool.
Cheers

Hello Dorian,
Yes, it is! Please find an example below:
In this case, I have added a requirement for the system.agent.home.dir agent parameter to be equal to a build parameter myParamValue set to match the left side agent; k8-linux does not met this requirement, and you can see the resolved value on the UI as well.
That's perfect thanks! I was trying to do it the other way around, on the myParamValue instead of the system parameter.
Would be nice to have parameter completion in the value box.
Thanks!
Hello Dorian,
Glad to hear it was helpful, you are most welcome!
As I can see, parameter completion could clutter the interface somewhat (TeamCity already tries to fetch possible values for some of the parameters like system.agent.name); if build parameters would also be on the list this could be non-trivial. However, please mind you could create a feature request at any moment here.
