Let's say I have a project Foo configured with Git VCS root having default branch feature/foo. I'd like to have a snapshot dependency on a project Bar that is unit testing every feature branch on the same repo as Foo (ie, the VCS root for Bar has no default branch and is instead watching feature/*).

What I see happening is that Foo can only trigger builds on Bar's <default> branch. Can I change it so that Bar gets triggered for the right branch?

It is impossible to configure VCS root without default branch in TeamCity (see related issue http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-23395). So if you do not define default branch for Bar build configuration it will be set to master by default. And if you trigger a build with default branch, all dependencies will be triggered with default branch as well.

The solutions is to configure the same branch specification for Foo configuration as for Bar (feature/*). If you run Foo build manually you need to select needed branch using Run Custom Dialog (Changes tab), if you run build using VCS trigger you need to configure Branch filter.

  • my mistake, **Bar's** default is set to `develop`. So, if a default run on **Foo** will _always_ kick off a default run on **Bar**, is there a way to prevent a user from starting a default run on **Foo**? – brad_julian Jul 09 '14 at 16:55

    As for now I can suggest the workaround described in this [comment](http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-24147#comment=27-496473). Instead you can check this parameter teamcity.build.branch.is_default=true. – Alina Mishina Jul 16 '14 at 16:37
