TeamCity - Run separate build configurations to compile and deploy

2
votes

I have two build configurations in a teamcity project - Conf A and Conf B. Conf A is used to compile and build jars while Conf B is used to deploy to a specific environment based on the testing requirements. I setup Conf B with a dependency on Conf A to share build version information. Now the problem is whenever conf B is run, it first checks if Conf A has any new checkins since the last build and starts running conf A.

What I want is conf B should just pickup the currently available build jars and deploy to the specified environment without checking if there are any new check-ins.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I see & presume @BrokenGlass might have answered your question. Artifact dependency will do the trick of downloading. Other alternative would be to build & ftp required jars/files to test environment for which you have triggered build part & run deployment steps in your deploy build? – user3584056

It sounds like instead of a snapshot dependency what you really want is an artifact dependency from Conf B to the last successful build of Conf A.

You can configure that under the dependencies setting for Conf B, provided you publish your Jars as artifacts in Conf A (see links for documentation).
