Run an XSLT transformation on TeamCity

Question

Is there any built-in way to run an XSLT transformation on TeamCity? Preferably, as a build step. As I have not found anything in the docs so far, I'm not too confident about that feature, however, maybe somebody already integrated an XSLT transformation in the past.

Answer 1

No, teamcity doesn't have an XSLT trasform runner. However you could use below powershell script to transform.

$xslt = new-object system.xml.xsl.xslcompiledtransform
$xslt.load('D:\SampleTransform.xsl')
$xslt.Transform('D:\Input.xml', 'D:\Output.xml')

Answer 2

TeamCity does not have dedicated XSLT transformation runner.

But using the Ant runner with "Build file content" option you can configure required transformation from the UI. Just provide a content like this:

 <project default="MyXSLT">
  <target name="MyXSLT">
    <xslt in="MyInput.xml" 
      out="MyOutput.xml"
      style="MyTransform.xslt">
    </xslt>
  </target>
</project>

You can even make this step re-usable by creating meta-runner. See this documentation for details

Answer 3

Try the xslt runner

It is a simple runner, like command line, but it comes bundled with msxsl.exe. So no need to install it on the agent.
