Is it possible to output and rename build artifacts from the TeamCity checkout directory (that are not archives)?

Question

I have gone through the documentation for TeamCity on build artifact outputs

Answer 1

You can use the following thing when you are using octopack with msbuild to create the nuget package.

The command line parameter /p:OctoPackAppendToPackageId=foo adds foo to your nuget package name. Docs (under publishing)

Example:

Without parameter: abc.nupkg

With parameter: abc.foo.nupkg

Answer 2

1. Add command line step which will rename the artifact

ren Release\oldname.exe newname_%build.number%.exe

2. Define artifact as path to the renamed file.

newname_%build.number%.exe

Answer 3

It is not possible to rename build artifacts using TeamCity. The needed .exe file name should be configured inside your build script.
