Release triggered from TeamCity is being deployed twice

stu_wilson · 2 March 2016 16:31

I’ve got a weird issue whereby my Release (generated from teamCity) is being deployed to my CI tentacle twice.

on my tentacle, i can see the artefacts being replicated with a _1 extension and the deployment journal looks like this:

</Deployments>

I can’t see how the items are being requested to be deployed twice.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. Is it possible that you have your Environment configured as “Deploy automatically” on your lifecycle? That would explain why you are getting 2 deploments:

From your TeamCity server.
As soon as Octopus realizes a release was created (from TeamCity in this cse), It triggers a deployment to the environments set as “deploy automatically”.

You can check which environments are set to “deploy automatically” on your lifecycle. They will show up with a tiny lightning icon as shown on the attached screenshot.

If you want to avoid having automatic deployments triggered for this environment, just remove it from the lifecycle and add it back again selecting the "manual " option (see attached screenshot).

Regards,
Dalmiro

Yes, the environment was set to automatically deploy in the Lifecycle. I have changed this now.

Thank you very much
