Select Git branch for TeamCity Build Configuration

Question

I want to accomplish following via teamcity in my CI box.

Master branch commit : Build and Release
Beta branch commit: Build and Release to Crashlytics
All other commits to any other branch: Build

(side note since most of our development branches may or may not contain a prefix, it makes it difficult to use "feature-*" branch naming)

Following this question Select Git branch for TeamCity Build

I have created a Configuration Parameters in my project settings

and then

my VCS root settings

Then I created a build template

When I created builds I made sure branch name is correct

I have also tried to edit Triggers

How ever this is not working because when I push a commit to Beta branch

I think because of ref/heads/* default build is running all the branches

and Beta and Master displays "Pending"

How can I correct this?

Answer 1

I solved the problem by talking to other developers and making sure that all development branches uses a prefix, in this case XAAI-

then in my VCS root settings

for triggers in each build configuration I make sure it only is triggered when that branch is checked in.

for example for QA (Betabuild)

this is the tricky part , for Development branches I had to give an empty parameter, I dont know why (maybe because something needs to check default branch which is supposed to be ref/heads/) but whatever the reason it is working.*

and then finally whole thing looks like this

That pending thing is still annoying but , I think at least it is working as I envisioned now.
