Keep fighting the voodoo

Good developers dislike voodoo, but sometimes all the good will can’t stop a dark spawn of evil. For example, one of our build machines always bluescreens when running a certain system test. Why? Probably some hardware/driver failure, we’ll look into that.

In the meantime, let’s just ensure the build agent doesn’t get these nasty builds, shall we?

  1. Build Configuration –> Agent Requirementse –> Add requirements for environment variable –> SHITTY_AGENT (condition = “does not exist”)
  2. Go to the shitty agent and add a system variable named SHITTY_AGENT
  3. Restart the build service:
    1. net stop “TeamCity Build Agent Service”
    2. net start “TeamCity Build Agent Service”
