Starting a TeamCity build from SSIS via the TeamCity ReST API
-
Has anyone managed to initiate a TeamCity (TC) build from an SSIS script task?
This is quite a simple task in a native C# application, using httpClient.PostAsync. But if I try to use async tasks in SSIS, things end badly, with runtime errors and, if I'm being very naughty, minidumps.
So I tried to write synchronous code to do the same thing, so far without success.
If anyone has had success with either of the following, I'd like to hear from them:
1) Including async tasks in a Script Task
2) Making a synchronous POST to TC. -
OK, managed to crack this in the end. Here is some code which may prove useful to others one day. It initiates a TC build and returns the Id of the build which is created ... synchronously. Tested & works in SSIS.
public string GetBuildId(string username, string password, string buildQueueRoot, string buildTypeId)
{
try
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(buildQueueRoot);
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
byte[] bytes;
string requestXML = string.Concat("<build> <buildType id=\"", buildTypeId, "\"/> <comment><text>Build triggered through REST API</text></comment> </build>");
bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(requestXML);
request.ContentType = "application/xml";
request.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
request.Accept = "application/xml";
request.Method = "POST";
Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
requestStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
requestStream.Close();
HttpWebResponse response;
response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
string responseStr = new StreamReader(responseStream).ReadToEnd();
XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
xd.LoadXml(responseStr);XmlNode buildInfo = xd.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/build");
string id = buildInfo.Attributes["id"]?.InnerText;
return id;
}
return null;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw e;
}

I just tried this, and by "tried" I mean copied and pasted your code into my Visual Studio and it worked on the first try - thank you so much
