Detect a specific file change in TeamCity

Question

We have have certain files in our solutions and I would like to detect changes to those specific files.

If a change is found to a specific file I would like to receive an email.

Is this possible via teamcity or mercurial (our VCS)

Answer 1

To achieve this with TeamCity, you can do this:

1. Setup a build configuration, attach your VCS to it.
2. Set your checkout rules to match only files you are interested in.
3. Add a build step (maybe, do some tests?)
4. Add VCS trigger.
5. Subscribe to "build start" event of this build configuration in "My Settings & Tools"
