Build Blocker Plugin needs a concept of a delay before checking the queue

XMLWordPrintable

      There is an issue with the Build Blocker Plugin and jobs chained together by the Parameterized Trigger Plugin, but is potentially easy to resolve...

      Issue:

      Three jobs configured to kick off the next one when it is finished.

      Job 1 -> Job 2 -> Job 3

      I want to block Job 1 if Job 2 or Job 3 is queued or running. This will ensure that the above pipeline does not start again until a previous one finishes.

      A race condition currently exists which makes this impossible to implement:

      1. Job 1 runs.
      2. Job 1 finishes, Job 2 queued.
      3. Job 2 runs.
      4. Job 1 queues up, but is blocked.
      5. Job 2 finishes, Job 3 queued.
      6. Job 1 runs before Job 3.

      I do not know the code, but at the time that a blocking job finishes, it would be nice if the Build Blocker Plugin could delay its decision whether to run or not. This would allow Job 3 to get queued, and would stop Job 1 from running until the entire pipeline is finished.
