Kotlin BuildType 'XYZ': id 'XYZ' is already used in BuildType(uuid='', id='XYZ', name='Deploy to envr') error

Question

I was trying to refactor my Kotlin file that contains the configuration for a TeamCity pipeline. However, I keep getting the following error:

BuildType 'KotlinExperiments_DeployToEnvironment': id 'KotlinExperiments_DeployToEnvironment' is already used in BuildType(uuid='', id='KotlinExperiments_DeployToEnvironment', name='Deploy to test')

I tried to dynamically assign an ID, but that doesn't seem to work. Here are the links to the relevant files:

• .teamcity/settings.kts
• .teamcity/KotlinExperiments.kt
• .teamcity/_buildTypes/DeployToEnvironment.kt

What am I missing?

Answer 1

It appears that there was an extra } in this line which is an invalid character for an ID. TeamCity didn't really provide an accurate error. After deleting the whole and recreating it again, TeamCity provided a much better error which led me to this finding.
