    • Jenkins Version: jenkins-1.598-1.1
      OS: CentOs 6.6 x86_64
      Parameterized Trigger Plugin Version: 2.25
      Nr of Executors: 1

      the job "parent_job" has a param. trigger build-step, which called the job "child_job" and blocks "parent_job" till "child_job" is finished.

      This causes a deadlock, because the one executor is consumed by the "parent_job", although it is just waiting. So the "child_job" will never get an available executor.

      Is it possible to release the executor during the waiting time to make it available for other jobs?

          Looking forward to see this resolved. We have a chain of 4 triggered jobs in a sequence. Add another sequences related to other jobs and we get luck of free executors pretty fast. It creates unneeded bottleneck at the moment.

          This is not possible by the design of the freestyle job (and other job types).

          Is there any workaround possible?
