I have discovered something very strange in the past couple of days when I was converting our deployment scripts to Octopus Deploy (2.6.5.1010).
We are triggering our Octopus deployments via the Teamcity plugin (2.5.4.35) via a build step.
In this build step we are using the following settings:
Runner type: OctopusDeploy: Create release
Octopus URL: http://[ipaddress]:8181/
API key: ********
Octopus version: 2.0+
Project: %OctopusProject%
Release number: %build.number%
Deploy to: Dev
Show deployment progress: True
Additional command line arguments: --deploymenttimeout=00:30:00
We’ve upped the default timeout, because a single (Azure) deployment takes about 13 to 17 minutes to complete for our projects.
The thing we are running into at the moment is a deployment is triggered twice (2 times). The first deployment in Octopus is (probably) triggered when creating the release. The second deployment happens when the script is sees the earlier deployment is finished. Below is an excerpt of the build log.

As you can see, there’s a time gap between the following lines:
[10:27:10][Octopus Deploy] Waiting for 1 deployment(s) to complete....
[10:42:00][Octopus Deploy] Success: Step 1: Check Azure environment
At 10:27 a deployment is started and at 10:42 another one starts.
I can’t seem to figure out how I would be able to fix this, because it appears to be out of my hands. But if this would be the case, a lot of other people would probably have the same issue. Therefore it’s probably something in the current configuration, but I’m a bit lost at the moment.
PS: In Octopus Deploy I can see there’s 1 release which is deployed twice.
