Redundant syncs when using matrix jobs

XMLWordPrintable

      Hi,

      I originally posted this on the mailing list but the lack of replies forced me to create this issue. See the post here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/jenkinsci-users/s1HyARUbfbs

      Is there any way the Perforce plugin can be changed so that it doesn't do the redundant sync? It can be a real performance killer if the view you're syncing to is particularly large.

      Regards,
      Tom.

          Not specific to the perforce plugin... I don't really see any reason to be syncing the source code down on the parent job when no 'touchstone' build is being executed, but Jenkins goes ahead and syncs it anyways (presumably to grab changes, but those should be easily retrievable from the children).

          Thanks for clarifying Rob. Any idea who this issue could be assigned to so the problem is fixed? I'm unclear on this assignment/fix process. From the replies on the mailing list and a quick look in Jira it appears this problem is affecting other users too.

          Many thanks,
          Tom

          It's already assigned to core, so someone will pick it up from there. I recommend voting on it to give it some more attention.

          What's even worse is for subversion it seems to sync the entire depo rather than using the exclude directory list, which is taking hours to sync...
