java - Building IntelliJ project in TeamCity -

i'm new intellij , java have fair bit of teamcity experience, building .net projects.

i have created simple android library project in intellij single class uses rxjava (reactive extensions java). have added rx library in intellij using project structure -> libraries -> from maven. actual library have added com.netflix.rxjava:rxjava-android:0.19.6 pulls in com.netflix.rxjava:rxjava-core:0.19.6.

this works brilliantly , project compiles within intellij without having install maven. nice job, jetbrains.

however, when try build project in teamcity using intellij-idea runner, project doesn't compile. bad jetbrains!

i errors on references rx.*, said worked on workstation. errors teamcity this:

 c:\buildagent\work\eefd62e2c3082b56\src\com\example\tigraandroidutilities\observablemodel.java:3: package rx not exist   import rx.observable;            ^   c:\buildagent\work\eefd62e2c3082b56\src\com\example\tigraandroidutilities\observablemodel.java:4:   package rx.subjects not exist   import rx.subjects.behaviorsubject;                     ^   c:\buildagent\work\eefd62e2c3082b56\src\com\example\tigraandroidutilities\observablemodel.java:18:   cannot find symbol     symbol:   class behaviorsubject     location: class com.example.tigraandroidutilities.observablemodel       private behaviorsubject modelstream;               ^   c:\buildagent\work\eefd62e2c3082b56\src\com\example\tigraandroidutilities\observablemodel.java:63:   cannot find symbol     symbol:   class observable     location: class com.example.tigraandroidutilities.observablemodel       public observable toobservable()              ^   c:\buildagent\work\eefd62e2c3082b56\src\com\example\tigraandroidutilities\observablemodel.java:28:   cannot find symbol     symbol:   variable behaviorsubject     location: class com.example.tigraandroidutilities.observablemodel           modelstream = behaviorsubject.create(modeldata);                         ^   c:\buildagent\work\eefd62e2c3082b56\src\com\example\tigraandroidutilities\observablemodel.java:65:   cannot find symbol     symbol:   variable observable     location: class com.example.tigraandroidutilities.observablemodel           if (completed) { return observable.empty(); }                                  ^   

here's i've tried:

• considered using maven build runner instead; project doesn't have pom file it's not maven build.
• i've tried installing maven on build agent, doesn't seem make difference , didn't need install intellij work locally can't see why needed.
• there path macro called maven_repository in intellij build runner settings , i've tried setting various different values, no luck.
• i've looked @ jetbrains' documentation intellij runner , far can tell, i've configured build step correctly. i'm missing though.

this bit frustrating, i've been tinkering hours nothing seems work , have no clue i'm doing wrong. must have missed somewhere. how can build working in teamcity?

as of teamcity 9.1, idea runner can't build maven modules longer, nor can auto-download external artifacts maven central.

basically, need is:

1. download external artifacts, 1 one, using teamcity maven runner and maven-dependency-plugin, described in this answer., e. g.:

   mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.0.0:get com.netflix.rxjava:rxjava-android:0.19.6 

   you'll need many maven build steps number of dependencies in idea project, , these steps must precede idea runner build step.

2. at build configuration level, set system.path.macro.maven.repository system property %env.home%/.m2/repository.

that's it.

happy building!
