Build Runner

Build runner is a part of TeamCity that allows integration with a specific build tool (Ant, MSBuild, Command line, etc.). In a build configuration, the build runner defines how to run a build and report its results. Each build runner has two parts:

• server-side settings that are configured through the web UI

• agent-side part that executes a build on agent

TeamCity comes bundled with the following runners:

• Ant

• Maven2

• NAnt

• MSBuild

• sln2003 — Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 solutions

• sln2005 — Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solutions

• sln2008 — Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 solutions

• Ipr — IntelliJ IDEA projects

• Inspections — a set of IntelliJ IDEA inspections

• Duplicates Finder (Java)

• Duplicates Finder (.NET)

• Simple Command Runner — run arbitrary command line

Technically, the build runner is implemented as a plugin.

Build runners are configurable in the 3.Build Runners section of the Create Edit Build Configuration.
