API allows re-running of a completed run with the same commits

XMLWordPrintable

    • 1.0-m10, 1.0-m11

      In Scope

      • New rerun action in the rest API that can take the commits of a completed run and execute a new run with those exact commits.
      • This should work for multi-branch pipeline jobs
      • Ideally I'd like to see this work for other jobs too (such as Freestyle) if it isn't too much work
      • If this does not work for all job types, the UI will need some way of testing if re-runs are supported (so we can show the button or not) – We should consider UX-350

          imeredith is it still true that UX-158 blocks this work?

          NOTE: imeredith jdumay if you use "Replay" feature as it is today, it will actaully run it with the same commit, so this is essentially the same as https://cloudbees.atlassian.net/browse/UX-416 - only in one case you provide an alternative Jenkinsfile content, in another case you don't change it - but same result.

          Perhaps we should close this as a duplicate of https://cloudbees.atlassian.net/browse/UX-416 - and track it there?
          I don't think replay works with freestyle, or plain pipeline jobs, so that may be a limitation (in which case, all the api could do is re-run the job, not with a specific commit, and I would be ok with that limitation).

          Nah keep UX-416 open - its a different use case entirely. I've gone ahead and linked the two.

          jdumay they are different, but could be quite close both in experience and implementation, but one could argue that when you go to replay+edit, you are in "fix up build config" mode, vs "re-run against this commit to see if it is environmental failure" - different frames of mind when you do it, agree.

          mneale I still think the modify+rerun is very important. For the sake of brevity I just want to split these problems out for the moment.
