TeamCity Blog

Yes, we admit that every so often TeamCity like any other application can misbehave or slow down for some reason you cannot understand, and traditional “close and open” method (or “shutdown and start” in TeamCity terms) does not always help to get rid of the headache…

Now you don’t need to spend ages when trying to diagnose the problem. We have created a utility for taking the CPU profiling snapshots of the TeamCity server right from the web UI. Download the latest version of this plugin and see the installation instructions for details.
And please note that it is compatible with TeamCity 3.1 and higher.

Have an untroubled building!

This post continues the story of new TeamCity plugins which have just appeared. Today we would like to tell you about two third-party plugins.

The Growl notifier plugin delivers alerts using Growl engine.

Another plugin named Team piazza displays the current state of the build informing the team when the build fails and provides much other useful information on the current build state.

We would like to remind you that anyone can become a member of TeamCity plugin development community and develop plugins for integration with different change management systems, build runners, IDEs, or notification means using TeamCity’s Open API. Get more information in TeamCity online reference.

Thank you very much for your effort!

We are pretty sure that you know JetBrains likes playing games and making jokes. You think we have been preparing for 3.1.1 release? You are wrong All this time we have been looking at the Projects page and gathered our developers feedback who complained how exhausted they were about its dull look…

So, we decided to change it for the better and developed a small plugin making TeamCity look more hmm… relaxed… Just check out new glamourous icons for tests status, Run buttons are running all around the Projects page, projects and build configurations’ names abracadabra… It’s alive now!

All the development is stuck completely - everybody is trying to run new builds but no luck, tests are running away or burning out… Ohh…

Don’t repeat our mistake! We warned you!

We wish you sunny and warm April and May!
