Overview

Project build options control various aspects of builds that do not justofy their own configuration category.

Options

isolate changelists

When this box is checked, each build of the project will include at most one new change. This allows a change that breaks the build to be idenitified easily. For projects that can afford this level of isolation (i.e. where the change frequency and build times are low enough), this setting is recommended.

prompt

When this box is checked, manual triggers of the project will prompt for input before launching the build. This enables you to choose both the build revision and the values for all project properties to be used for the build. For example, you could manually set a version number for a release build.

retain working copy snapshot

When this box is checked, working copies for each build stage in the project will be captured and stored when the build completes, so that they may be browsed later. This option is unchecked by default because the cost of transferring the working copies from the agent to the master can slow a build significantly.

timeout

If you wish to apply a time limit to the build, enter a non-zero time limit in minutes in the "timeout" field. If any stage of the project takes longer than the specified amount of time to complete, the stage will be forcefully terminated and will finish in the error state. The build itself will also finish in the error state.
