Create changelog artifact in TeamCity

Question

Is there a simple way to have TeamCity include a text or html change-log as one of its output artifacts?

Perhaps I need to go down the route of having msbuild or some ot

Answer 1

Yes, the change-log is accessible as a file, path to this file is in the TeamCity build parameter:

%system.teamcity.build.changedFiles.file%

So you could do this:

• Add a command-line build step to your build.
• Use type Custom Script.
• Enter this script:

copy "%system.teamcity.build.changedFiles.file%" changelog.txt

• Finally edit the artifact rules for your build to include the changelog.txt in your artifacts (General settings -> Artifact paths -> Add "changelog.txt").
