Mercurial

Source Path

Enter the location of your mercurial repository. This is the value of the SOURCE parameter that gets passed to the clone command line option. For instructions on how to get Continua working with a SSH mercurial repository, see Mercurial over SSH.

Examples:

C:\my_hg_repo
\\server\share\hg_repo
http://www.mydomain.com/hg_repo
```
ssh://user@server//home/projects/alpha/
```

Username

If your repository requires a username, enter it in the Username field.

Password

If your repository requires a password, enter it in the Password field.

Using

The Using drop down is populated with any property collector whose namespace matches the pattern defined by the Mercurial plugin. The pattern for this action is ^mercurial\..*

If you create a property collector for this action, make sure you select the Path Finder PlugIn type and give it a name that will match the pattern above in blue. Example names listed here, search the table's Plugin column for "Mercurial".

For more in-depth explanations on property collectors see Managing Property Collectors.

Alternatively, you can select the Custom option from the Using drop down list and specify a path in the resulting input field that will be displayed. Please read Why it's a good idea to use a property collector before using this option.

Branches

Branches To Monitor

There are 3 options to choose from when selecting which branch(es) to monitor.

Single Branch
This option tells Continua to only monitor a single branch of the repository you specify. When you select this option you need to provide a Branch Name which is the value of the branch you want Continua to monitor.
All branches
This option tells Continua to monitor all branches in the repository. When you select this option you need to provide a Default Branch value so Continua knows what to use for a build when no branch is selected.
By pattern
This options tell Continua to monitor any branch that match a pattern you provide in the Branch Pattern field. The Branch Pattern field accepts a regular expression which is matched against all the branches in your Mercurial repository. Since the pattern can potentially match more than one branch, you also need to provide a Default Branch value so Continua knows what to use for a build when no branch is selected.
