builds against a snapshot?

Roderick Thomas (66●1●17●9) | asked Feb 16 '11, 10:29 a.m.
We have a Build Definition that is configured to grab all the recent changes from a workspace to build against.

There are times however when we build/test and need to build again, this time changing the build properties. Instead of modifying the Build Definition (to not accept latest changes) is there anyway to find the last successful Build Result and request another build against THAT snapshot, while changing the build properties accordingly?

Hi Roderick,

Unfortunately we cannot currently build against a snapshot. This request is being tracked in the enhancement work item: https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/90272

Please feel free to add comments to the work item describing your situation.

Create a new repository workspace from the snapshot that you want to
rebuild. Then run a personal build using that repository workspace. By
running a personal build rather than a regular build, that will avoid
accepting changes into the workspace.
