I’m trying to setup TeamCity to work with ClearCase for continuous integration, and I’ve been having a few problems. TeamCity is complaining that it cannot build the patch for the build. I’ve been scouring the internet for information on ClearCase and TeamCity, and there is a surprisingly small amount of information on the topic. Has anyone had any success with getting TeamCity to work with ClearCase?

Here’s my build log:

[18:09:11]: Updating sources (2s)

    This error was caused by my config spec. Changing two lines with the pattern /My_vob/… to * seemed to fix the problem. I don’t know why TeamCity had a problem with the more precise pattern, but changing it to * seemed to fix this problem.

    Here’s the original config spec:

    #View files that are checked out.
element * CHECKEDOUT

#View files under the MyProject/LATEST branch.
element /My_vob/... .../MyProject/LATEST

#Create the MyProject branch.
element -file /My_vob/... R5.0.0.0 -mkbranch MyProject
element -dir * /main/LATEST -mkbranch MyProject

    And I just changed two lines (replaced occurrences of /My_vob/… with *)

    #View files that are checked out.
element * CHECKEDOUT

#View files under the MyProject/LATEST branch.
element * .../MyProject/LATEST

#Create the MyProject branch.
element -file * R5.0.0.0 -mkbranch MyProject
element -dir * /main/LATEST -mkbranch MyProject
