Is it possible to create a subscription where it will notify you only when the compilation result changes from failure to success or vice versa?

I was looking for something like this under the BuildCompletionEvent:

"TeamProject" = 'Project1' AND "StatusCode/OldValue" = 'Succeeded' AND "StatusCode/NewValue" = 'Failed'

"TeamProject" = 'Project1' AND "StatusCode/OldValue" = 'Failed' AND "StatusCode/NewValue" = 'Succeeded'

I know the schema for the BuildCompletion does not have a NewValue OldValue property, but I was just wonder if there was some other way to accomplish the same result.

Thanks for any help on this!!

Unfortunately, the Build Completion Event only provides information on the current state of the build. It does not fire when the status changes. Note that the Status Changed Event is misnamed and is really a Build Quality Changed event. It fires whenever the Build Quality of the build changes.

Sorry for the bad news. Hopefully in a future version we will address the need to capture changes like this in an event.

Thanks,
