TeamCity share build number between multiple build configurations

teamcity

i am looking for a way to share build number between multiple build configurations. The goal is to have an global counter of some sort and all build configurations would be incrementing it and use it in its own the build number.

If one of build configurations A has snapshot or artifact dependency on build configuration B, then you can obtain build number from B in A with help of dependency parameter:

%dep.<B id>.build.number%

Where <B id> is id of build configuration B (see buildTypeId parameter in URL).

How can you link version numbers between build configurations of a TeamCity project?

TeamCity, passing an id generated in one build step to a later build step

Yes, you can set an environment variable in one build step and use it in the following step. You will need to use a service message in your build script as described here http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/TCD65/Build+Script+Interaction+with+TeamCity#BuildScriptInteractionwithTeamCity-AddingorChangingaBuildParameterfromaBuildStep to dynamically update a build parameter, which you can use in the next step. Note, that it won't be available in the step that generates it, only in the next one.

Note that to set the variable, it must be written out somehow (echo for bash command-line, write-host for Powershell), in quotes. Example:

echo "##teamcity[setParameter name='env.ENV_AAA' value='aaaaaaaaaa']"

and to use this variable write %env.ENV_AAA% in the box in the next build step (Atleast in TeamCity 9.1.7))
