    Description

      The project is here : https://github.com/exoportal/exogtn
      We have 2 main branches : master = 3.1.x and 3.2.x branch
      I have several jenkins jobs for each branch
      Several times we noticed that in jobs configured for 3.1.x (master) , jenkins built sources from 3.2.x
      I attach a screenshot of my configuration of this job : https://ci.exoplatform.org/job/gatein-portal-3.1.x-exo-pkg
      Branch specifier is set to origin/master.
      If we look at the history of its builds :
      https://ci.exoplatform.org/job/gatein-portal-3.1.x-exo-pkg/67/ => 3.2.x

      Perhaps we have a wrong usage of git in this project, as I didn't yet noticed such issue for others git projects we have but It is a big issue for us to not be able to build the good branch

            I our case, the jobs were we saw this problem were not wiping out the workspace.

            So when you went to git, clicked the second "Advanced" button the "Wipe out workspace before build" was not checked?

            Did you have any other options checked that aren't set by default?

            I activated the option "Clean after checkout" and "Prune branches" after having discovered the issue and it didn't help.

            This is fixed in the emergency 1.1.11 release. We rolled back changes to DefaultBuildChooser that broke horribly in any case where you weren't using "**" as the branch spec. Yeesh.

            For now I didn't reproduce this error with 1.1.11
            thx
