The Team City plugin will reach its End Of Life starting November 1, 2021. After this date, WhiteSource will no longer provide standard support, including updates and fixes, for the deprecated plugin. Extended Support, which is limited to configuration and Support troubleshooting, will continue until May 1, 2022. Following this date, the NuGet plugin will no longer be supported by WhiteSource. Please make sure to migrate to the Unified Agent before the end of standard support on November 1, 2021 to maintain full support of your product. |
The plugin integrates automatic open source management with Jetbrains TeamCity.
Once set up, all usage of open-source software in the organization will be continuously and automatically in sync with WhiteSource.
New projects will be created
Existing projects will be updated
Policies will be enforced on every action, failing the build if necessary.
The plugin currently support build steps with either Maven, Ant, or shell script Runner types. |
The plugin is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. Source code and issues are hosted on github .
On execution, the plugin will determine which open source is currently used by your project and send it to WhiteSource.
No source code is scanned. Only descriptive information is sent over the wire. |
WhiteSource uses the collected information to create new projects or update existing ones.
The plugin will check each new library against the organizational policies. If any library is automatically rejected by some policy, the build will fail. Otherwise your account will be updated.
An informative report of the results will be generated regardless of the outcome.

Only supported runner types will have these options visible. |
Build runners that have no concise system for managing dependencies require a different configuration.
What we're looking for is descriptive information about each library used. What we need to know is which libraries to include and where we can find them, that is the sole purpose of the configuration.
The plugin is executed when the runner finishes. Sample log section:
