Teamcity: Pass Environment parameter to dependent build

Question

I use two build configurations.

• Root
• Sub

The buildfile for 'Sub' requires a environment parameter 'Param' to run. Can I pass this parameter from my 'Root' configuration to the 'Sub' configuration in Teamcity.

Regards

Answer 1

Each build configuration has a configuration code i.e. bt123 Lets say your Root configuration has the code, bt123, and has a variable called java_dir

Your Sub configuration, can reference it like this

Name: JAVA_DIR Value: %dep.bt123.env.JAVA_DIR%

The easiest way to do this, is to select the small box with lines in the right of the text field, "Value". This will provide a drop list where you should be able to find the variable from bt123.. Just start by typing bt123, and you will see all the variables available.

Hope this helps.
