I also have this issue, however, I discovered that the job I'm running is being run the correct number of times but in parallel rather than sequentially.

For my Multi-Job I have 4 phases; the first 3 phases are to run the same build job but with different prameters (solutions). The fourth phase is to run a deployment step.

When I run the multi-job, the first 3 phases run simultaneously although it looks like just one run. Luckily I spotted that when first looking at the console it was run #18 but when returning after completion it was #20. When I manually look at each #18, #19 & #20, I can see they are in fact the the three phases.

Jenkins: V1.491
Multi-Job plugin: V1.7

i dont understand, sorry.
the phases should run sequently, and inside phase are running in parallel.
how did you encounter phases run in parallel?

As you can see, the same job is set to run in 3 seperate phases, however, when the Multi-job kicks off it runs the 3 phases in parallel. Once they complete, then the last phase is initiated.

How did you configure it to do that ?
can u show your configuration?

Here is the Multi-job config and the build job config (minus some parameters - just some choices\strings)

thank u very much for the trouble Gordon.
my actual problem was when i ran multi jobs in same phase , and also several phases. the same phase should run my 3x (same job) as 3 build but it ran only one.

actually it was fixed in last revision of the plugin.
but still there is a problem with parallel runs.
