Creating a build configuration in TeamCity using Powershell

Anyone know how I can create or delete a build configuration in TeamCity, only using Powershell? I am trying to automate our entire project setup process; have looked at the REST API but that appears to be mostly read-only开发者_高级运维.

There is no ability to automate creation of build configuration. Watch/vote for corresponding feature request JetBrains tracker: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/TW-7999.

Teamcity 8.x REST provides the ability to create build configuration. You can use something like below to utilize to REST API.

function Create-Build{
    param
    (           
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
        [string]
        $buildName, 

        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
        [string]
        $parentProjectId
    )

    # Create Teamcity URL
    $url = "http://teamcity:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/projects/$parentProjectId/buildTypes"

    $webRequest = [System.Net.WebRequest]::Create($url)
    $webRequest.ContentType = "text/plain"
    $PostStr = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($buildName)
    $webrequest.ContentLength = $PostStr.Length
    $webRequest.Method = "POST"
    $webRequest.Accept = "*/*"
    $webRequest.Credentials = new-object system.net.networkcredential("teamcityuser", "password")

    $requestStream = $webRequest.GetRequestStream()
    $requestStream.Write($PostStr, 0,$PostStr.length)
    $requestStream.Close()

    [System.Net.WebResponse] $resp = $webRequest.GetResponse();
    $rs = $resp.GetResponseStream();
    [System.IO.StreamReader] $sr = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader -argumentList $rs;
    [string] $results = $sr.ReadToEnd();

    $results
}

# Call ps function to create build configuration
Create-Build -buildName "CopiedBuild" -parentProjectId "TestProject"

Have you looked at psake? It's a build automation tool and somebody integrated some TeamCity support (in teamcity.ps1).
