Jenkins 1.651, Matrix project plugin, complex combination filter logic
We have a large pool of machines running a variety of jobs, and the Combination Filter logic gets very long. It would be great if the Combination filter was multi-line, more like the Execute Shell box, so we could see all the combination logic.
Bracket highlighting (highlight the end bracket if you're on the start one) would be a bonus.
I use 3 axes, with 9*2*2 = 36 builds (soon 9 * 3 * 2 = 54 builds). It takes hours to compile the whole matrix, which means a slow turnaround for pull request. I want to have a good coverage of every axis value without testing every combination of the values. Also, I want explicit control over the combinations, I don't want randomness in pull request testing. The combination filter is totally out of control, it's a huge single line.
It would be even better to have a GUI where I could use checkboxes to select the builds.
