TeamCity schedule trigger with additional VCS rules

I'm trying to configure a Schedule Trigger in TeamCity 7.1.4 which will trigger the build every day at 7 AM, but only if there were commits to the project's folder since the last build.

I've configured the schedule trigger thus:

enter image description here

with these VCS trigger rules:

-:.
+:root=SVN_Branch_builds:/ermc/**
+:root=SVN_Branch_builds:/development/source/Endava/ER/ERCommerce/**
  1. remove all rules
  2. add rule only if there were commits to the VCS folder
  3. add rule only if there were commits to the VCS folder

(SVN_Branch_builds is the name of the VCS root).

However, the trigger doesn't work at all. What am I missing?

Solution

  • Ideally when 'Trigger build only if there are pending changes' is checked & trigger rules are defined it should work. Not sure on exact problem here as seems like you have not got any errors.

    Once you goto 'Build Configuration Home' -> Settings , do you see your rules defined & next scheduled time is correct?.

    As an alternative way, you can try with configuring settings using cron-like expressions http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD7/Configuring+Schedule+Triggers to schedule daily.

    Select Trigger build: as advanced(cron expression) from drop-down & you can put time trigger based on your need.
