Build Runner

Build runner is a part of TeamCity that allows integration with a specific build tool (Ant, MSBuild, Command line, etc.). In a build configuration, a build runner defines how to run a build and report its results.

Each build runner has two parts:

• the server-side settings that are configured through the web UI
• the agent-side part that executes a build on an agent

TeamCity comes bundled with the following runners:

• .NET Process Runner
• Ant
• Command Line — run an arbitrary command line
• Deployers
  • Container Deployer
  • FTP Upload
  • SMB Upload
  • SSH Upload
  • SSH Exec
• Duplicates Finder (.NET)
• Duplicates Finder (Java)
• FxCop
• Gradle
• Inspections (IntelliJ IDEA) — a set of IntelliJ IDEA inspections
• Inspections (.NET) — a set of ReSharper inspections
• IntelliJ IDEA Project, and its earlier version: Ipr (deprecated)
• Maven
• MSBuild
• MSpec
• NAnt
• NuGet-related runners
• NUnit

• PowerShell

• Rake
• Simple Build Tool (Scala)
• Visual Studio (sln) — Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010/2012/2013/2015 solutions
• Visual Studio 2003 — Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 solutions

• Visual Studio Tests (with integrated MSTest)

• Xcode Project

Technically, build runners are implemented as plugins.

Build runners are configurable in the Build Steps section of the Create/Edit Build Configuration page.
