Last stand-alone version: deploy-runner.zip

Description

Enables TeamCity to upload artifacts to external locations in a number of ways.

Installation

Follow the TeamCity documentation on installing additional plugins.

Usage

After successful installation, new Build Runners will be available in the Build Step selector of a build configuration.
Most of deployers use TeamCity artifact paths to define which files will be deployed. Artifacts paths have the following syntax:

Please note:

Icon

target_directory and target_archive are always treated as relative to a remote location specified in the Target parameter of the runner.

Refer to the TeamCity documentation for details.

SMB Deployer

Allows uploading files to Windows shares via the SMB protocol.
Implementation relies on the JCIFS library. To configure the JCIFS client using system properties, update the TeamCity Agent startup properties Configuring Build Agent Startup Properties.

Target URL should point to a host + share at least. Subdirectories are allowed here and will be created if missing. Valid examples:

Name resolution (advanced option) - allows to switch JCIFS to "DNS-only" mode. May fix perfomance or out of memory exceptions (see this bitbucket issue for details). Is equivalent to following JCIFS settings:

FTP Deployer

Allows uploading files to an FTP server.
Target host should point to an FTP server (by hostname or IP address) and a remote directory (relative to the FTP user's home). To use absolute *nix path, use %2F as the forward slash. For example:

Secure connection allows choosing between an insecure (FTP) or secure connection (FTPS, SFTP).

Limited security note

Icon

The current secure connection implementation accepts any certificate provided by a remote host. No trust checks are performed!

Authentication method is either Anonymous (will submit username "anonymous" and single space as password) or username/password (for custom credentials)
Transfer Mode allows you to force the ASCII or Binary FTP transfer modes (if the automatically detected mode leads to broken files transfer)

SSH Deployer

Allows uploading files via SSH (using SCP or SFTP protocols)
Target should point to an SSH server location. The syntax is similar to the one used by the *nix scp command:

where target_dir can be absolute or relative; sub_path can have any depth.

Transport allows choosing a protocol to transfer data over SSH. Options are: SCP and SFTP

Authentication method allows choosing an SSH authentication method.

  • "Default private key" will try to perform private key authentication using the ~/.ssh/config settings. If no settings file exists, will try to use the ~/.ssh/rsa_pub public key file. No passphrases should be set.
  • "Custom private key" will try to perform private key authentication using the given public key file with given passphrase
  • "Password" - simple password authentication.
  • "SSH-Agent" - use ssh-agent for authentication. To be used in combination with TeamCity SSH-Agent build feature. Available since 9.1

Limited security note

Icon

Current secure connection implementation accepts any certificate provided by remote host. No trust checks are performed!

SSH Exec

Allows executing arbitrary remote commands using SSH

Target should point to an SSH server.

Authentication method allows choosing an SSH authentication method.

  • "Default private key" - will try to perform private key authentication using the ~/.ssh/config settings. If no settings file exists, will try to use the ~/.ssh/rsa_pub public key file. No passphrases should be set.
  • "Custom private key" will try to perform private key authentication using a given public key file with a given passphrase
  • "Password" - simple password authentication.
  • "SSH-Agent" - use ssh-agent for authentication. To be used in combination with TeamCity SSH-Agent build feature. Available since 9.1

Limited security note

Icon

Current secure connection implementation accepts any certificate provided by remote host. No trust checks are performed!

Commands is a new-line delimited set of commands that will be executed in the remote shell. The remote shell will be started in the home directory of an authenticated user. The shell output will be available in the TeamCity build log.

Container Deployer

Allows deploying WAR application archives to a remote Tomcat instance
Supports the following Tomcat versions: 5.x, 6.x, 7.x and 8.x

Requires Manager webapp installed in the target Tomcat instance and a user with the "manager-script" role.

Compatibility

TeamCity 9.1+
Oracle JDK 1.6 or OpenJDK 1.7.0_07 and later.

    Brilliant idea. We especially like SSH runners. Wish you luck in development and hope you'll progress it to production level soon :)

  2. Yuri Trukhin

    need Glassfish deployer too. Cool idea. Want to deploy via intellij project run configuration remote glass fish

  3. naik

    is it possible to provide multiple hosts comma separated?

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      No, you can only have one target host at a time.

      Could you explain, why do you need to deploy same artifacts to a number of lockations simultaneously?

      As a work around, you can use build parameters to store common information (like username/password/artifact paths) and create several build steps that only differ in target feild.

  4. naik

    Thanks for prompt reply,  I did created build steps that differs on target host but it is not efficient when deployment needs to be selective based on specific Env where each target environment may have 10/20 hosts, would be nice to use comma separated list or something similar and provide it to deployer target. 

  5. Damir Arh

    Deployers work really good. I like how they use the standard artifact syntax. I have two suggestions, though:

    • SMB Deployer doesn’t accept dots in the UNC path set for the target URL, elthough it would still be a valid path.
    • It would be great if deployers could be configured to copy / uplaod only files that are newer than in destination.

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Thank you for your feedback. I have received an issue regarding dots in UNC paths.
      Would you mind opening separate request for uploading only newer files?

      1. Damir Arh

        Sure, no problem. If I understand correctly, I should open an issue for that on YouTrack (http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/TW)?

        1. Nikita Skvortsov

          Yes.

    Hi,

    I am trying to install this plugin in Teamcity, but my teamcity server is not getting started with the library files, this is the error message we are getting.

    Error creating bean with name 'scpDeployerRunType' defined in URL [jar:file:/D:/TeamCity/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/deploy-runner-server-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar\!/META-INF/build-server-plugin-deploy-runner.xml\]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 1 of type 

    I have copied the deployer-runner-common and deployer-runner-server jars on the library path and the server was complaining on this error.

    Can you please help me in resolving this? The teamcity version i am using is 7.0.2

    Thanks

    Gomathi.

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Gomathi,

      I apologize for broke link to installation instructions. I have fixed it to point to http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD7/Installing+Additional+Plugins

      As to your case,

      1. Shutdown the server

      2. Remove plugin jars from WEB-INF/lib directory

      3. Copy deploy-runner.zip to <TeamCity Data Directory>/plugins directory.

      4. Start server

      1. gomathi

        Thank you!! This worked

  7. gomathi

    Thank you so much for your prompt reply, i will try this and update you!!

    Cheers

    Gomathi.

  8. Clifford Campbell

    Is it possible for SSH Exec to respond to prompts?

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Unfortunately, no. Script is passed to remote side as a single command.

    Hi, I've just installed TeamCity 8.1 EAP build 29581 and my build throws the following error when executing the Deployer build step:

    I'm not sure if this is an issue directly with the Deployer Plugin or an issue with the new TC build. Please are you able to advise?

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      This issue was fixed in recent builds. Please, update the plugin.

      1. Darren Williams

        Thank you Nikita, that's sorted the issue!

    Is there any way I can use a configuration parameter within the Target URL field?  I've added a custom parameter to the Build Configuration area and can choose it from the parameter browser button next to the Target URL field but saving the changes results in an 'Invalid URL' error.

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Looks like it is an issue with URL vaildation code ignoring the parameters. Please report it to issue tracker and I will do my best to fix it soon

  14. Roman Malko

    Hello Nikita.

    Thanks for your work. Can you please tell me - how can I undeploy a war before deploy a new one?

    Thank you!

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Roman,

      There is no dedicated "undeploy" procedure (yet). With Tomcat container, re-deploying over existing application should work fine. If it does not, please report to https://bitbucket.org/nskvortsov/deployer/issues

    2. Nikita Skvortsov

      The re-deployment issue is fixed. Thank you for the report.

      Please, download the updated version of the plugin.

      1. Roman Malko

        Thank you, Nikita.

        The plugin works awesome!

        1. Nikita Skvortsov

          You are welcome. If you have any other feedback, maybe a missing feature - I'll be glad to hear about it.

  15. Anton Pham

    Hi,

    Recently we've been receiving 99% of the time an exception when we run the FTP step:

     It.sauronsoftware.ftp4j.FTPDataTransferException: I/O error in data transfer 

    The FTP process was working fine until our repository grew to over 300 individual files.  The logs show FTP process can start, transfer a few files then it chokes then raises the exception.

    Any ideas what could be causing the exception?

    Thanks

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Hi Anton. 

      Hard to tell anything without logs. Please, enable Agent-side debug logging (using this instruction) and wait for the problem to reproduce. 

      Open a new issue here https://bitbucket.org/nskvortsov/deployer/issues and attach resulting teamcity-agent.log file there. Also, FTP server logs would be useful.

      1. Anton Pham

        Thanks for the prompt response:

  16. Matt Beckman

    Is there a limit to how many files the uploader will attempt to upload?

    Yet, in our configuration, we have the following:

    Do you know of any limitation? I thought it might be a server timeout error, but without an error being reported, it doesn't seem likely.

    Thanks,

    - Matt

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      That really deserves an issue in tracker. 
      Please report it to BitButcket: https://bitbucket.org/nskvortsov/deployer/issues

      Attach :

  18. Mohammed Nazimuddin

    Hi Nikita,

    Thanks for the idea. We have implemented SSH, FTP correctly. Also, implemented SMB with out using the JCIFS library and it worked fine as we were able to deploy a file from one windows server to another. But, I would like to understand what is the significance of jcifs library in the SMB deployer and how will it be useful? Are there any circumstances of non usage of this library for implementation of SMB Deployer?

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Mohammed,

      JCIFS library offers implementation of basic operations required by SMB client running on jvm. Thanks to that, SMB deployer can upload files to windows shares from (almost) any operating system (Windows, Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD). SMB Deployer does not depend on unerlying OS's ability to connect to windows shared folder.

  19. John Ertel

    Hello,

    In the ftp deployer plugin we're receiving the error 
    [Step 3/3] java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: jetbrains.buildServer.agent.impl.artifacts.ArtifactsBuilder.setCaseInsensitivePatterns(Z)V at jetbrains.buildServer.deployer.agent.base.BaseDeployerRunner.createBuildProcess(BaseDeployerRunner.java:44) at jetbrains.buildServer.agent.impl.runner.CallRunnerService.doCreateBuildProcess(CallRunnerService.java:71) at jetbrains.buildServer.agent.impl.runner.CallRunnerService.createBuildProcess(CallRunnerService.java:47)

    Same problem is defined in the previous comments ( by Darren Williams ) and solution was given as updating to the latest build. 

    But we receive this error although we are using the TeamCity 8.1.5 (build 30240). (Currently latest version)

    Do you have any ideas why this issue might be happening or any solutions?

    Thank you,
    John

    1. John Ertel

      Solved...

      Well, I did a full update on the Team City although I should have only updated the deployer plugin as described in the installing additional plugins. After the plugin update the problem is fixed. 

      Cheers,
      John

  20. John Krupka

    Is it possible to have the SSH runners use the uploaded SSH keys? I don't see how to do this in the interface. Currently I'm successfully using an uploaded key to identify the TeamCity server as a collaborator in my git-based project, allowing TeamCity to generate and push out new tags.

    However when it comes to running these SSH tasks, I would like to be able to use the same TeamCity identity via PKI and I don't see how to specify the uploaded private key. I have to either use a default key location (~/.ssh/key) or specify a path to locate the key file. Am I overlooking something that would allow me to use the uploaded key I already have configured on the server?

    Edit: adding the fact that I'm using version TeamCity Enterprise 8.1.4 build 30168.

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      John,
      Unfortunately, this is not currently implemented. Please watch/vote for this request: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-34011

    2. Denis Sukhov

      i've had the same problem.

      l  read SSH Keys Management and understood that i will fine the private key uploaded for the project here "<TeamCity Data Directory>/config/<project>/pluginData/ssh_keys"

      in my case it was "D:\TeamCity\Data\config\projects\Web\pluginData\ssh_keys\sdstage2"

       

      and it works. try.

    Hi. What if I need to clean the target FTP directory from files that are already there. Does FTP Deployer support this? I see it probably doesn't do you plan to add this in future? Thanks!

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Hello Max,
      Currently, cleaning the destination is not supported. Please, add the comment about FTP here: https://github.com/JetBrains/teamcity-deployer-plugin/issues/22 

  23. Advise1

    Does the ftp deployer overwrite any existing files? I don't see this option in the plugin.

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      FTP deployer should overwrite any files in the destination. If it does not, please add an issue here https://github.com/JetBrains/teamcity-deployer-plugin/issues

    I am trying to use the SMB Deployer to deploy a website to a webserver (using SMB). I was able to figure out the Artifiacts issue that I had, but now that I resolved it, I am getting a 'jcifs.smb.SmbAuthException: Access is denied.' issue on the SMB build step. I am deploying all of the changed files from the VCS Root to the Target Root, including files in subfolders. 

    The errors that i am seeing are:

    [13:00:27]Step 1/1: Copy to ********** (SMB Deployer) (33s)
    [13:00:30][Step 1/1] Starting upload via SMB to \\******\websites\******

    [13:01:01][Step 1/1] Step Copy to ********** (SMB Deployer) failed

    I am pretty certain that I have granted all of all of the Windows rights necessary to modify files to the correct user that the TeamCity services run under. What am I missing?

    Thanks,

          Now the auth is successful, but you are facing https://github.com/JetBrains/teamcity-deployer-plugin/issues/20

          Please, enable "use DNS only name resolution" feature under "advanced" options. 

          1. Glen Parnell

            I enabled "use DNS only name resolution" feature under "advanced" options. However, the system has now gone back to 

            Step 1/1: Copy to ********** (SMB Deployer) (1m:17s)

            1. Nikita Skvortsov

              Once again, in debug logging, is Username/domain information correct?

              1. Glen Parnell

                The Username/domain/password information is correct. I did not change the username or password when I updated the "use DNS only name resolution" feature. I have tried re-entering the password and that did not fix it either.

                1. Nikita Skvortsov

                  Please, consult the event viewer on target machine, look for failed auth attempts.

                  1. Glen Parnell

                    I cannot find any failed Auth attempts. Does that mean that the system is probably not able to resolve the system name?

                    1. Glen Parnell

                      A coworker and I were finally able to spend some time looking into this issue. We determined that the issue was with the folder name in question. The folder name that was having issues was \\ficatlibmsweb\websites\ibms.laptv.com\, which never would work. After some testing, without changing permissions or anything else, we were able to get the system working delivering files to  \\ficatlibmsweb\websites\lalala\ and \\ficatlibmsweb\websites\ibmsweb\. The only difference between these folders that I could find was the ',laptv.com'. My guess is that the system does some automatic stripping of extensions or something like that, so it is removing part of the path name, which would not allow the system to write out.

                      1. Nikita Skvortsov

                        Hello Glen,
                        Thank you very much for the investigation! I will  investigate this further to find the root cause.

                        1. xavier le galles

                          I've had quite the same issue with a TC server 10.0.04: the problem seems to be related to a space in the share folder (\\kappa.int\fra prototypes) because it now works if I replace it with the DFS name which does not contain any space.

  25. Reza Azizi

    I use this **/mywar-1.0.war in Artifacts path to deploy my war file with ssh deployer, but it deployed my file with its directory to dest, like this

    dest/build/libs/mywar-1.0.war, but i need it like this, dest/mywar-1.0.war, any idea?


    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Please, use the full path `dest/build/libs/mywar-1.0.war`

      The part matched by pattern is created on target site

  26. Magnus Markling

    What are the plans for this essential plugin? Will it ever reach production status?

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      The plugin is still in development. A stable version may be delivered with next major TeamCity release

      1. Magnus Markling

        Thanks for your quick reply!

        Given that it has already existed for three years, is it safe to assume that any changes prior to release will be minor?

        1. Nikita Skvortsov

          Not really.

          For example, right now the plugin goes through some heavy refactoring of FTP subsystem.

  27. Glen Parnell

    I found another issue - the SMB delivery system does not currently work for hidden Windows shares (those with a $ in the name) such as \\ficatlibmsweb\c$\Program Files (x86)\PHP\IncludeFiles\

    The $ causes the job not to work.

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Thank you Glen,

      I have raised a ticket in our issue tracker: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-43799

      Please, watch/vote for it.

    Hi,

    I am trying to upload a (zip) artifact created by TeamCity. However, as this artifact is only created after completion of all build steps, the upload step cannot find it. Am I missing something, or is this use case not (yet) supported? Thanks!

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Yves,

      Please specify the file to upload on "FTP Deployer" build step configuration page, not in "General Settings" tab

      1. Yves

        Thanks for the quick response! So this means that if I want the zip to be available both in the TC web interface and on ftp, I best duplicate the definition of the zip archive in both locations?

        1. Nikita Skvortsov

          At the moment, yes. You will have to duplicate.
          Please watch/vote for issue https://github.com/JetBrains/teamcity-deployer-plugin/issues/17 

  29. Daniel Paterson

    Hi Nikita.

    I just installed your plugin to my Teamcity 9 server but I can't get it to work at all. The configuration seems simple enough but I am not sure what I am doing wrong and can't find any example documentation to help.

    I am trying to deploy my project war file to my tomcat server using your plugin. But I keep getting a failure with the message [Step 2/2] org.codehaus.cargo.container.ContainerException: Failed to redeploy [C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\6a79970e297ab752\src\FirstSpirit\guardian-couchbase\target\couchbase-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war]

     My Settings are as follows:

     

    Container Deployer

    Runner able to deploy WAR apps to different containers

    Deployment Target
    http://myserver:8080/couchbase/
    Enter target container info. Use format: {hostname|IP}[:port] 

    TOMCAT 7.x

    Default "Manager" web app must be deployed to target Tomcat. User must have role "manager-script".

    Deployment Credentials
    My Username
    My password
    Web Application Settings
     
    Path to war archive to deploy


    Can you give me some idea as to what is miss-configured or what values I should be using here. This is the first time I have deployed this to the tomcat server as well so it has never existed before.

    Thanks,

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Daniel,

      For the first glance, it looks like everything should be working. Could you please enable agent-side debug as described here and attach resulting teamcity-agent.log file? 

  30. Mike Thomasson

    Hi Nikita,

    I'm just trying to do a simple ftp deploy. It works when I deploy to the root. But I get an error when I deploy to any subdirectory like this (target host = 172.17.1.81/test). This is the error Failed to upload artifacts via FTP. Reply was: 500 Syntax error, command unrecognized. Here are the settings (have also tried setting Artifacts to build/** => test

    Any ideas on why it doesn't work when deploying to a sub directory?

    Thanks,

    Mike

     

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Hello Mike,
      Sorry for the delay. The error should also be logged in FTP server's log. Could you please look up the actual  "unrecognized command" there?

  31. Rajan

    Hi..

    We are using Deployer plugin and mainly use SSH Exec and SSH deployer. We use common user for most of the deployment and as per companies security policy, password for the common user is changed every month.

    As password is stored as part of each TC project/job, we have to update the password for multiple TC jobs every month.

    Is it possible to make the password as 'Configuration Parameter' so that it can be defined globally and then all projects will inherit. 

     

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Hello Rajan,

      Since 8.1, TeamCity supports parameter references in password fields. You can define a configuration parameter on Project level and refer to it in the password field in SSH Exec or Deploy.

       

      1. Rajan

        Hello Nikita,
        Thanks for the reply. We are using Teamcity v9.1.5.
        I have created configuration parameter at project level, but in the build configuration when I try to enter %PARAM% , it takes the input as password field and does not show. I tried to save and run the job but it fails in authentication.

        1. Rajan

          Hello Nikita,
          following is the Deployer plugin version:

          Artifact Deployer
          Set of Runners for basic deployment tasks
          snapshot-20151111120215 Nikita Skvortsov <TeamCity Data Directory>\.unpacked\deploy-runner

        2. Nikita Skvortsov

          There is no way of input field knowing if the entered text is password or parameter, so input always stays hidden (we are aware of this usability problem: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-43909 )

          So, the parameter, defined at the project level, should be available on the build configuration level.
          To check, if it is passed corretly, add a simple command line build step, that prints it using "echo" 

  32. jhon

    Is there any way to deploy the war file to remote server with jump server?

    The noramal setps is like :

    1.login to the jump server.

    2.scp the file to remote server.

    3.start remote server etc.

    And i want those steps automaticlly do in tc,could it be possible?

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Hellp Jhon,

      Deployer plugin allows to scp flies to remote server using "SSH Deployer" runner. To login|start|stop the server, please use "SSH Exec" runner. 

      Combinig these runners into steps should solve your task

      1. jhon

        Thanks.

  33. jhon

    Hi.
    I run a test. I want to login to B from A.
    And I have a preset sshkey,so I dont need to enter password when connect from A to B.
    But it didt stop when i run the script below on sshexec:

     

    mkdir 180
    ssh tomcat@192.168.6.181
    mkdir 181

     

    It just keep loading...

    what am i suppose to do ?

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Hello John,
      If the question is still relevant, make sure that "ssh tomcat@192.168.6.181" is not interactive (does not need any user input) when executed on host  [192.168.6.180].

  34. A.G.B

    Hello Nikita,

    I had installed TeamCity Professional 9.1.6 (build 37459) and your plugin Deploy-runner and faced with next issue.

    Your plugin is availablee in the plugins list but it is not available in the build steps.This plugin is supported for version 9.1.6?

     

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Hello,

      Yes, the plugin is 9.1.x - compatible.
      If you do not see any of the build runners provided by the plugin (e.g., FTP Deployer, SSH Deployer, SMB Deployer), please create an issue in our tracker ( http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue?project=TW&clearDraft=true&c= ) and attach a TeamCity server log, that contains latest server restart.

  35. Max Pavlov

    Is there a way to specify active mode for FTP Deployer to support FTP destinations that only allow active FTP connections?

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Sorry for delay in replying. The latest build of the plugin should allow choosing Active/Passive mode for FTP.

  36. Simon Needham

    :-S I seem to have hit the same issue as A.G.B in April when trying to install Deployer. I'm running Teamcity 9.0.1 (build 32116).

    Would be grateful if some one could provide the steps to resolve this.

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Simon, please follow same steps as described in my answer to A.G.B (Re: Deployer plugin). I need server restart logs to investigate the issue. 

  37. xavier le galles

    I have the same issue than Glen had: I have followed what you said at this time, enabling logging, veryfing credentials, etc. and I cannot understand what is the cause of the problem? I have tried several credentials with or without domain, tried several destination directory, etc. without any difference. [using TeamCity server 10.0.4 (build 42538)]

  39. H. Kutzer

    We are using TC 10.0.4 since half a year now. We are deploying mainly web projects (php/ruby based) on remote servers. So there are many SSH Exec steps in every build configuration.

    We noticed the same issue on every build with different servers - and it's completely reproducible: After the 5th SSH Exec step the server denies further connections.

    Questions:

    • Are the connections shared/reused between build steps?
    • Do the plugin keeps the connections open after the build step (even one second is too much)?
    • Do you ever have noticed this problem?

    Please recommend some solutions/ideas.

     

    1. Nikita Skvortsov

      Thank you for report. Connections are not shared or reused and should be closed after the build step. This problem was not reported before.

    2. Nikita Skvortsov

      What ssh server do you use? Are there any related messages in ssh server's log files?

      1. H. Kutzer

        We use the standard Ubuntu 16 SSH server.

        I cannot deliver the related log messages any more, since the problem is one month old and I have build another solution without using the SSH deployer plugin.
