TeamCity Source Path variable

[gelgin]

I am using TeamCity to pack various components of a Windows desktop application for Octopus deploy.

Can I use a variable to point to the folder where the application was built? The GUID assigned by TeamCity changes occasionally which requires me to change the “Source path” in 30+ Octopus deploy “Pack” steps.

Last week, one of my projects had a SourcePath: E:\TeamCity_BuildAgent\work\1ece97050dfca7f4
Now it is E:\TeamCity_BuildAgent\work\311d5574ebb6591

Hi @gelgin,

Thanks for getting in touch with us over your question.

You should be able to reference the TeamCity working directory using %system.teamcity.build.workingDir% (or the shortened version %teamcity.build.workingDir% ), and hopefully that’s what you’re after. The following stack overflow link may also be helpful: parameters - Where does TeamCity get the value for %system.teamcity.build.workingDir% - Stack Overflow

I hope that frees you from having to change the source paths manually, but please let us know if this is helpful.

Best,
Patrick
