Can anyone give me an example of what the Artifact paths setting defined for a build configuration could look like if I want to create two artifacts dist and source where I am using the sln 2008 build runner and building my projects using the default bin/Release?
**/Source/Code/MyProject/bin/Release/*.* => dist **/*.* => source
I get two artifact roots dist and source but under dist I get the whole directory structure (Source/Code/MyProject/bin/Release) which I don't want and under source I get the whole thing along with obj and bin/Release which I do not want.
Can you give some advice on how to do this correctly?
Do I need to change the target location for all the projects I am building to be able to get this thing to work?
Artifact Paths Build artifacts are files produced by the build which are stored on TeamCity server and can be downloaded from the TeamCity UI or used as artifact dependencies by other builds.
In terms of build pipelines in general the Artifact is the software component that is produced during the build, stored in a repository and ultimately deployed into your different environments.
By setting a snapshot dependency of a build (for example, build B) on another build's (build A) sources, you can ensure that build B will start only after build A is run and finished. We call build A a dependency build, whereas build B is a dependent build.
In Build Steps, click Auto-detect build steps, and then select the proposed steps you want to add to the current build configuration. You can change their settings afterwards. When scanning the repository, TeamCity progressively searches for project files on the two highest levels of the source tree.
Upon the build finish, TeamCity searches for artifacts in the build checkout directory according to the specified artifact path or path patterns. The matching files are then uploaded ("published") to the TeamCity server, where they become available for downloading through the web UI or can be used in other builds using artifact dependencies.
When creating a build configuration, you specify the paths to the artifacts of your build on the Configuring General Settings page. TeamCity contains an integrated lightweight builds artifact repository.
TeamCity can automatically create an archive from a directory when publishing build artifacts. To configure this behavior, you need to specify the build artifact path as follows: directory => directory.*, where * is the archive extension. See more information and examples here.
To hide an artifact, you need to publish it under the .teamcity directory. All artifacts published by a build are stored in the agent's artifacts cache in <Build Agent home>\system\.artifacts_cache, which helps speed up artifact dependencies in some cases.
So you'll just need:
Source\Code\MyProject\bin\Release\* => dist Source\**\* => source
This will put all the files in release into a artifact folder called dist and everything in Source into a artifact folder called source.
If you have subfolders in Release try:
Source\Code\MyProject\bin\Release\**\* => dist
