Getting TeamCity to Recognize Powershell Messages

Question

How to get TeamCity to display build log messages using Powershell?

I am using TeamCity 7.1.

Here is my Powershell build step:

script:

write-host "##teamcity[message 'Getting production info']" if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { write-host "##teamcity[message 'Production Remote Not Found: Creating Remote']" write-host "##teamcity[message 'Pushing to Remote']" #git push production } else { write-host "##teamcity[message 'write-output: Production Remote Found: Pushing to Remote']" #git push production } 

And the only thing I get in the build log is:

 [17:02:58]Skip checking for changes - changes are already collected [17:02:59]Publishing internal artifacts (1s) [17:03:00][Publishing internal artifacts] Sending build.start.properties.gz file [17:02:59]Clearing temporary directory: C:\BuildAgent2\temp\buildTmp [17:02:59]Checkout directory: C:\BuildAgent2\work\7669b6a04f96908d [17:02:59]Updating sources: agent side checkout [17:02:59][Updating sources] VCS Root: Portal Master [17:02:59][VCS Root: Portal Master] revision: c5c6a9a0d491ee2c64ce98e48b0d67c422237698 [17:02:59][VCS Root: Portal Master] Resetting Portal Master in C:\BuildAgent2\work\7669b6a04f96908d to revision c5c6a9a0d491ee2c64ce98e48b0d67c422237698 [17:02:59]Starting: C:\Windows\sysnative\cmd.exe /c C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NonInteractive -File C:\BuildAgent2\temp\buildTmp\powershell1349912883332714566.ps1 [17:02:59]in directory: C:\BuildAgent2\work\7669b6a04f96908d [17:03:00] [17:03:00] [17:03:00] [17:03:00]Process exited with code 0 [17:03:00]Publishing internal artifacts [17:03:00][Publishing internal artifacts] Sending build.finish.properties.gz file [17:03:00]Build finished

As described in the documentation , the message "message" may contain several arguments, so you need to specify at least the argument "text": "##teamcity[message text='Getting production info']"

Your script will be

 write-host "##teamcity[message text='Getting production info']" if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { write-host "##teamcity[message text='Production Remote Not Found: Creating Remote']" write-host "##teamcity[message text='Pushing to Remote']" #git push production } else { write-host "##teamcity[message text='write-output: Production Remote Found: Pushing to Remote']" #git push production }
