Clearcase plugin does not update view if load rules are changed

      Base Clearcase

      Imagine a Compile Job with a ClearCase snapshot view which can roam to several slaves. On each slave there is a snapshot which was updated when the job was last executed. Now you change the load rule of the job because a developer needs a new library. Then the Job will get eventually routed to a slave where the view is not up-to-date. Unfortunately the view will only get the new files loaded and not get an update of the rest of that view. This is especially deadly if you change a file with a version number for instance (AssemblyInfo.cs, .rc file or Product.wxs for installers) during the build because you won't check out the latest version of that file and it is impossible to check in.

      Excerpt from the log when adding a load rule:

      The error message I get later on because the checked out version of the .wxs file is not the latest one:

      Checkin:
      cleartool.exe checkin -identical -nwarn -ptime "Product.wxs"
      Default:
      ("." to accept default)
      Update to version 1.30.0.197
      Checkin comments for "Product.wxs":cleartool: Error: The most recent version on branch "\main\br_v1.3x" is not the predecessor of this version.
      cleartool: Error: Unable to check in "Product.wxs".

      Maybe there is only the call to
      cleartool setcs -current
      missing is performed normally to update the view?!?

          JENKINS-15776 Clearcase plugin does not update view if load rules are
          changed

          Using Base Clearcase, if the view exists and a load rule has been added,
          first a call to setcs -current is done to reevaluate config spec and
          update existing load rules, then a call to update is done in order to
          add the new load rule
