In part 1, we looked at how to install and create a simple build job in Teamcity. In part 2, we looked at how to create an agent and run a build on the agent. In part 3, we will look at how to build a Maven Java project. We already added the project to the build job in part 2, but we did not configure the build step to actually perform the compilation using Maven. Auto detect build steps It is as good as it sounds. I clicked 'Auto detect build steps' and the build step was automatically created to perform a 'maven clean test'. Check the checkbox in the table and click 'Use selected' to add the build step to your build job. Observe the 'mvn clean test' step in the table. Run the build job Run the build by clicking the 'Run' button at the top of the page. A live status and percentage of completion is shown on the project view. Edit the maven goals Click on the ...

Continuing from where we got stuck in the prior post for running a build on Trying @teamcity for #ContinuousIntegration - Part 1 . Before I started working on the agent, I deleted two of the three builds in the queue. Create the Teamcity agent I learned that I must have an agent running. I executed the following docker command to create an agent that automatically registered itself on the Teamcity server as an unauthorized agent. docker run -d -e SERVER_URL="http://teamcity-server-instance:8111" \ --name=teamcity-agent \ -p 9090:9090 \ -v $HOME/docker-shares/teamcity/agent/conf:/data/teamcity_agent/conf \ -e AGENT_NAME=teamcity-agent \ --link teamcity-server-instance:TSI \ jetbrains/teamcity-agent Authorize the agent Click on the 'Unauthorized' link next to the agent and click 'Authorize' on the dialog  that pops up. Navigate back to 'Connected' tab where only authorized agents are listed. ...

I use it at work and I go deep into it with custom plugins and custom code to orchestrate builds and deployments. I use CircleCI and TravisCI for my github projects and these are just for fun. All these products are good in their own way. Jenkins is the mother of all CI tools. CircleCI and TravisCI are simpler to use and I really like the speed and agility of these tools.

The browser would just show a blank page. I qu...
