I have configuration parametr current_build_date (User Defined Parameter) I want just to set this parameter to current date by API TeamCity.
On docs I have seen this:
http://teamcity:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/parameters/<parameter_name>
I know my Build configuration ID, but I can't understand how by this to make buildTypeLocator.
I assume result will be something like this:
curl -u Login:Password \
-X PUT \
-d 'valueOfMyParam' \
-H 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
http://teamcity:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/parameters/current_build_date
I will realy appreciate if somebody who knows TeamCity API will help me with this problem.
I made attempt just to pass instead of buildTypeLocator my Build configuration ID and I got ERROR:
[17:08:25][Step 3/3] Error has occurred during request processing (Not Found).
[17:08:25][Step 3/3] Error: jetbrains.buildServer.server.rest.errors.NotFoundException: No project found by name or internal/external id 'BuildConfigurationID'.
If there are any problems or ambiguities with my question please add comment, i'll try to fix it.
If you browse the REST API endpoints in a browser you'll be able to see the format of the build locator.
Visit http://teamcity:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/buildTypes/
and you'll see the entries have a href attribute that contains the buildLocator (generally a property:value combination)
You'll then be able to navigate using that url / communicate via the API
Hope this helps
