If you are using Team Foundation Server/Visual Studio Online for your Git repository, there is a good chance that you may end up with spaces in your Git repository Url!
This is because TFS/VSO uses the Project Name as the method to generate the Git repository Url.
Unfortunately, this presents an immediate problem for TeamCity because spaces in Urls are translated as the %20 character! Once you run a build in TeamCity with a Url containing these characters, the build on the build agent will fail with an error such as this:
"20Reports defined in VCS Root: VSO Reports"
Thankfully, there is a solution to this problem even though it is not perfect. To workaround around this problem, you simply escape the %20 characters with an additional % sign like so in your VCS Url:
VSO%%20Reports
This should resolve the issue with being able to execute a build with a VCS Url that contains spaces.
However, you may still end up with an error message like this in your build log beneath the Artifact dependencies:
Parameter "20Reports" is undefined
You can ignore this error message in the build log, but hopefully the Jetbrains TeamCity development team will fix this issue completely in the near future!
