TeamCity swap configuration files

Question

Hi!

I have been using CC.NET for a while and decided to try Team City. The initial and default configuration is very easy, but how do I swap configuration files after code is checked out and before unit tests are run.

I am using TFS, NUnit. 1. When working locally I have configuration file pointing to local server. 2. On the build server TeamCity get's notification that I have checked-in code and builds new version. 3. Server runs unit tests

When on 3rd step server runs unit tests I need to swap configuration files that are pointing to other servers, not the ones I am using locally.

How do you accomplish this task in TeamCity?

Thanks, Edijs

You can setup DEPENDENT Builds in TeamCity. If your new version compiles, it can trigger your Unit Test build.

I usually run this via different NANT files instead. Based upon my NANT Target, I can get different behavior from the same build, and that is what I specify in TeamCity.
