Dependencies Triggers

Last modified: 20 April 2023

Administration > <project> > <build configuration> > Build triggering > Dependencies tab

Use this tab to create a list of build configurations which the current build configuration depends on. If such relationship exists, the build of dependent build configuration will start only after the successful completion of the dependency.

Dependencies trigger tab

Option

Description

Add build dependency trigger

Click to show a list of existing projects and their build configurations, from which you can select the dependencies.

Add Maven artifact change trigger

Click to Configuring Maven Artifact Change Trigger to start a build if a Maven artifact has changed. For a Maven project you can also set trigger on a snapshot dependency by selecting the corresponding check box.

Delete

Click to eliminate the selected dependency.

note

To avoid double excessive running of a build, if this build is dependent on another via both dependency trigger and a build chain with snapshot dependency, at the moment the build is triggered by dependency (trigger) TeamCity checks whether another build of the same build configuration has been already put into the Build Queue as a result of triggering a build chain with snapshot dependency. If such build exists, a build that should be triggered by dependency will not be started. Example:

Assume build A depends on build B by both snapshot and trigger dependency. Then after the build B finishes, build A will be added in the queue, only if build B is not a part of build chain containing A.

Add Maven Artifact Trigger Dialog



This dialog allows to configure triggering of a build, if a specified Maven artifact has changed.

Add maven artifact trigger

Parameter

Description

Group Id

Specify identifier of a group the desired Maven artifact belongs to.

Artifact Id

Specify the artifact's identifier.

Version or Versions range

Specify version or versions rage of the artifact. For details about the version range syntax, please refer to the Configuring Maven Artifact Change Trigger page.

Type

Define explicitly the type of the specified artifact. By default, the type is jar.

Maven repository URL

Specify URL to the Maven repository. Note, that this parameter is optional. If the URL is not specified, then:

  • For a Maven-based project, TeamCity will take the repository URL from the configuration parameters.

  • For a non-Maven project, TeamCity looks for a settings.xml file in the <TeamCity Data Directory>/system/pluginData/maven directory. If such file does not exist, then the repository URL will be taken from the default .m2/settings.xml file.

Add

Click to create new trigger with specified parameters.

Cancel

Close the dialog without saving.
