Starting TeamCity builds from HipChat using Github Hubot(www.laurentkempe.com)

submitted by laurentkempe(317) 3 months, 19 days ago

After writing about “Running your TeamCity builds from PowerShell for any Git branch” I’d like to talk about another integration which is using Github Hubot so that the build could be started directly form a chat room. So using the same idea, which is to extend our development environment, we implemented a way to start TeamCity builds directly from our HipChat room. You could do the same from Campfire for sure. read more...

After the meeting as I often do I gather up from the web some posts which expressed in more details what I was talking about and made some extract of the posts.

Build and Deployment automation, VCS Root and Labeling in TeamCity(www.laurentkempe.com)

submitted by laurentkempe(317) 1 year, 11 months ago

As you might now from reading my blog I tend to automate as much as I can. Why? Because I hate to do repetitive tasks. First because it is boring, at least for me, and as a developer we have more interesting things to do. Second because executing repetitive tasks tend to be error prone. So last week I decided that it was enough for me to have to create manually a subversion tag for Jobping web site then also took the time to do the same for my portal Tech Head Brothers. read more...
