Has anyone managed to successfully integrate FogBugz with TeamCity?

We're currently considering switching our Continuous Integration from CruiseControl.NET to either Cruise or TeamCity but have discovered that currently TeamCity has no support for FogBugz.

The free version of TeamCity looks awesome and is certainly looking like an alternative to Cruise/CruiseContro.NET. However the lack of FogBugz integration is annoying!

The TeamCity website says that it is possible to integrate with unsupported bug tracking software by adding the correct pattern to the comment-transformation block (in {path_to_teamcity_data_folder}/BuildServer/main-config.xml file) but i'm not sure how to get this to work.

Is there anyone out there who has successfully integrated FogBugz with TeamCity who would be able to help?

Ok... So i took another look at this with fresh eyes today and it was much easier than i first thought (embarrasingly so!)

  <transformation-pattern
     search="BugzID:\s+(\d+)$"
     replace="&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Click to open the case a new window&quot; href=&quot;
  http://pathto.yourfogbugzinstall.com?$1&quot;&gt;Case $1&lt;/a&gt;"
   description="FogBugz Case" />

This is pretty much taken straight from the docs. Hope it helps someone else.

The pattern needs to be added to TeamCity's config\main-config.xml file in the element as described in http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/TCD5/Mapping+External+Links+in+Comments.

The search pattern we use is a bit more advanced, it matches any "Bug", "Bugs", "Bugz", "Case", "Cases" prefixes.

<transformation-pattern 
    search="((?:(?:[Bb][Uu][Gg](?:[ZzSs])?)|(?:[Cc][Aa][Ss][Ee](?:s)?))\s*(?:[Ii][D][Ss]*)?\s*[#:; ]+(\d+))" 
    replace="&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Click to open this case in a new window&quot; href=&quot;http://pathto.yourfogbugzinstall.com/default.asp?$2&quot; &gt;$1&lt;/a&gt;" 
    description="Fogbugz case link" />

Hope this helps!

Incidentally, does anyone know how to make the pattern case-insensitive? So I can remove the ugly [Bb][Uu] etc?

I couldn't comment but - here are some links of note:

To set the case insensitive flag in the regular expression use '(?i)' at the beginning of the expression. Java documentation here.

Above search by 'Laazy J' becomes -

(?i)((?:(?:bug(?:[zs])?)|(?:case(?:s)?))\s*(?:ids*)?\s*[#:; ]+(\d+))

The link to the TeamCity documentation is here

After setting this config, does the service needs to be restarted? what should I do to make sure the new config takes effect in the system? where I can see the result? in the TeamCity website?
