Canceled builds are not considered unsuccessful

[tzz]

Currently, canceled builds are OK. This is a problem for us on machines that are being rebooted (the build gets scheduled, the agent dies, the build is canceled).

It would be good if there was an option to retry canceled builds (e.g. try up to 3 times) and fail if they never run.

@tzz Could you please attache screenshot of cancelled build or at least cancel reason?

[tzz]

On your build, set the last step to be a shell command

cd ${INSTALL_DIR}/bin
./agent.sh stop

We do that because we wipe the machine (PXE boot) after every build, so we don't want more builds scheduled. But TeamCity still queues a build on that agent, and when the agent is stopped, the build is canceled instead of rescheduled.

So for me, that results in a canceled build. Let me know if it doesn't for you. It may be something specific to our environment after all.
