I currently have a project which includes a ton of externals which needs to be rebuilt as the externals are updated, to keep the artifacts fresh. I cannot figure out a way to trigger a svn build when an external changes, only when a change is made in the branch itself.

Is there some feature of TeamCity that will do this, and if not, what is the best way to add this build trigger?

You can choose the External support you want under the VCS root settings:

teamcity_svn_externals

If you are asking for support to detect if the external change happened in the context of a particular branch / location where it is added as an external, and ignore the changes when the external gets changed in other location, no, that is not possible and, frankly, not how externals are to be treated.

  • I do have "Full Support" selected, however I have it pointed at the default configuration directory. Should this be changed? The .svn configuration directory is not absolute to anything. – Chuu Jun 07 '11 at 22:53
  • TeamCity should detect changes in svn externals with your setup. If not, this may be some misconfiguration or bug. Check for exceptions in TeamCity/log/teamcity-vcs.log file, or report the problem (with logs) to deveplopers forum: http://devnet.jetbrains.net/community/teamcity/teamcity – KIR Jun 08 '11 at 07:46
