After using it for a bit, I was able to create a really nice CI that:
- Monitors the local file system for a Git Commit (of TeamMentor)
- On Git Commit, trigger a build (of the main VisualStudio 2010 project)
- If the build is OK, trigger a git push into AppHarbor
- Open a WebBrowser with the AppHarbor site
All automated from the moment there is a commit :)
Let's see this in action
It all starts with a deployed instance of TeamMentor at version Dev.2.1 (see top right)
With TeamCity running locally on my box (as a service) keeping an eye on the local git repository
In VisualStudio, lets make a simple change (bumping the version to Dev.2.2)
Using Git Source Control Provider VisualStudio Extension, create a Commit
Which (after about 10 to 20 secs) is picked up by TeamCity
The 'build logs' update in real-time, and provide a lot of good info:
After the build completes, and the AppHarbor push is done, the target website will be opened: (notice that it is now on version Dev.2.2)
For reference here are the Build Steps in TeamCity configuration page:
