Deleting/renaming jobs using external builds directory does not move builds

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      If you set the external builds directory for Jenkins to e.g. /tmp/builds/${ITEM_FULL_NAME} and build some job, then rename it, the existing build records will remain in /tmp/builds/oldname/* and be inaccessible. Similarly, if you delete the job, the build records will be left behind, potentially consuming a great deal of disk space.

            JENKINS-17137 is a related problem with a different cause. The fix of JENKINS-16457 helps identify the problem loading the old build records in case of a rename.

            Job.renameTo needs to take getBuildDir into account.

            Also the workspace on master should be moved if it exists.

            Ideally the workspace would be moved, but this is problematic since the workspace path is encoded in the build record. So for now leaving workspaces alone; they are intended to be disposable anyway (so it is not a problem to periodically wipe out the whole external workspace dir).
