Teamcity Custom Script Log Output

Question

I use a very basic Custom Script in TeamCity 7.0.3 which uses Visual Studio 2010 to build a solution and its installers.

The build was failing and the only relevant error in the TeamCity Build Log is

[13:17:13]Process exited with code 1

When I run the same script from the console, I get a lot of helpful errors about why the build failed.

How can I get TeamCity to include the errors from devenv.exe?

You need to report back the additional info to TeamCity in a way it can interpret.

Look at this article to see how to do it:

For a basic example:

You can report messages for build log in the following way:

##teamcity[message text='<message text>' errorDetails='<error details>' status='<status value>']
