TeamCity 8.0 Help

Visual Studio Addin

The TeamCity add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio provides the following features:

  • Remote run for TFS, Subversion and Perforce (for remote run for Mercurial and Git see Branch Remote Run Trigger),

  • pre-tested (delayed) commit for TFS, Subversion and Perforce,

  • fetching JetBrains dotCover coverage analysis data from the TeamCity server (see JetBrains dotCover) to MS Visual Studio (requires dotCover of the Supported Platforms and Environments installed in Visual Studio),

  • viewing recently committed changes and personal builds with their build status in the My Changes tool window,

  • opening build failure details in MS Visual Studio from the TeamCity web UI,

  • viewing failed tests' details for a build,

  • re-runing tests failed in the TeamCity build locally via the ReSharper test runner (requires ReSharper 5.0 installed),

  • navigation from the IDE to the build results web page,

  • re-applying changes sent in Remote Run or Pre-tested commit to the working directory.

For detailed instructions on how to use the add-in, refer to the TeamCity menu, Help section in Visual Studio.

Installing the Add-in

The TeamCity VS add-in version must correspond to the version of the TeamCity server it connects to. Connections to TeamCity servers with different versions are generally not supported.

Download the add-in available in the TeamCity Tools section of the My Settings&Tools page (to open the page, click the arrow next to your username in the top right corner of the TeamCity web UI and select My Settings&Tools) and follow the installation wizard. Close all running instances of Visual Studio before starting the add-in installation (initial or upgrade).

Requirements

See the Supported Platforms and Environments page for the system requirements to configure integration with different version control systems or coverage tools.
