TeamCity conditional parameter values

Question

How can I assign a runtime value to a build parameter? I set a build parameter, let's say %config.buildMode%, to a dropdown and I need to have something like an IF condition so that I can assign a different value to another parameter based on the buildmode selection.

e.g.

if %config.buildMode% == 'Debug'    %config.hostName% = 'localhost' else if %config.buildMode% == 'Release'    %config.hostName% = 'http://servername' else    %config.hostName% = 'http://stackoverflow.com' 

Answer 1

Rather late to the party, but it is possible. Add an extra parameter for the value you want to be conditional (e.g. TargetServerName), but leave the value blank. Then add a powershell build step at the start of your process, and enter a script like this;

$BuildMode = "%buildMode%" $ServerName = ""  if ($BuildMode -eq "Debug") {   $ServerName = "localhost" } elseif ($BuildMode -eq "Release") {   $ServerName = "theserver" } else  { exit 1 } echo "##teamcity[setParameter name='TargetServerName' value='$ServerName']" 

The final line is the magic. By outputting that, teamcity will basically execute it, setting your TargetServerName parameter. You can then use the parameter in subsequent build steps.
