TeamCity "Retry on Fail" Build Trigger - Limit retries

I have a build that I know will fail ra开发者_C百科ndomly, around 5% of the time. This is due to an external resource that I have no control over.

Setting a "Retry on Fail" build trigger is easy enough, except that it doesn't allow me to specify a number of retries before it stops trying all together.

Is there a way to have TeamCity retry a build on fail, only n number of times?

Thanks!

This feature was finally added in version 7.1, See

and

You can set a larger number for delay between retries (15minutes?) + add notification about build failure. This way you won't miss failure and won't spoil your build history with tons of failed builds.

Or, you can write a custom trigger plugin for TeamCity :)
