Cannot properly configure teamcity to play along with mercurial when using multiple repositories not belonging in the same folder

I am trying to setup TeamCity build server. I am also using mercurial repositories.

My project structure is:

Main Folder
 -Windows Form Application Repository
 -Cla开发者_Go百科ss library 1 Repository
    -files subrepo 1
    -files subrepo 2
    -files subrepo 3
 -Class library 2 Repository

I created a project in teamcity, added the 3 VCS to the project without specifying a checkout directory and the result was files from all 3 repositories in one checkout directory, resulting in build error. I then went and changed the checkout directory of each VCS to C:\Projects. This resulted in a correct folder structure but no files in them (as if hg pull operation was done but not hg update).

Has anyone had any similar experience because I cannot find anyone complaining about such a scenario.

You can set checkout rules for each of your repositories. Checkout rule of the form

+:.=>subdir

will checkout all the content of your repository to the specified subdir (see here for details).

As I understand your 'Class library 1 Repository' has 3 subrepositories. At the moment subrepositories are not supported with server-side checkout and checkout rules are not supported with agent-side checkout (here is an issue to vote/watch for).

As a workaround, you can create separate VCS root for each subrepository, but in this case TeamCity checkout the latest version of you repository, not the tracked commit from .hgsubstate.

You should be able to do all of this using a single .hgsub in the root folder that will automatically bring in all of your other repos. You should have a single VCS root in TeamCity that pulls from the root.
