Is it possible to tag TeamCity builds using service messages (or some other programatic way)?

Question

Is it possible to tag TeamCity builds using service messages or some other programmatic way from a build step maybe...?

How can this be done?

Answer 1

See also the following stackoverflow discussion:

Programatically pin a build in Teamcity

Moreover, since there were two open questions on stackoverflow and I had the same problem, I wrote a TeamCity plugin that solves it:

Answer 2

There is a VCS labelling in TeamCity, you can tag when a build successful, or on each build. Does it correspond to what you're looking for?

Answer 3

Yes, there is. You can use the REST API, as described here. Basically,

Adding a tag using plain text

curl -s  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
    "https://ci.ACME.com/app/rest/builds/5375/tags --data tag-1 
tag-1

Reading the list of tags as json

curl -s -H 'Accept: application/json'  \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
     "https://ci.ACME.com/app/rest/builds/5375/tags"
{"count":1,"tag":[{"name":"tag-1"}]}

Overwriting tags using json, getting it back as xml (the default)

curl -s  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT \
    "https://ci.ACME.com/app/rest/builds/5375/tags \
     --data '{"count":2,"tag":[{"name":"tag-A"},{"name":"tag-B"}]}'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><tags count="2"><tag name="tag-A"/><tag name="tag-B"/></tags>
