Hook on pinned build

[gregmac]

We use pinned builds, especially with tags (eg "beta", "RC", "GA"), to signal releases. It would be handy to get notifications in chat/etc when this happens.

• Add notification event "Build is pinned"
• Add notification event filter for specific tags (stretch goal)

Assuming that TeamCity has an extension point for listening to build pins, then this is doable. It is a different type of event, so there will be some plumbing required internally.

Filters might then "just work" with the filter support. No UI for that though.

Yes. The open API has buildPinned and buildUnpinned events, so I guess I should add support for both events.

Preliminary support added. When this build finishes, you can try it out.

There is no support in any templates yet, but you should be able to create a legacy JSON webhook, and have a look at the payload. There is a testing endpoint at http://<your_teamcity_instance>/webhooks/endpoint.html, so just point your test webhook at that.

Amongst the payload, you will get...

    "buildTags": [
      "Prod_Release"
    ],
    "pinEventUsername": "netwolfuk",
    "comment": "Pinning as prod_release",

I might change that data in the payload a bit.
It might be more useful to do something like

      "pinEvent": {
          "comment" : "Pinning as prod_release",
          "username": "netwolfuk"
          "type": "pinned"
      },
      "buildTags": [
          "Prod_Release"
      ],

Btw. I've not done any testing with a filter yet.

Hi @gregmac Did you get a chance to test this, or do you need a template ready for testing?
If so, what "chat" are you using?
