UX Issue with Polling in Multibranch Pipeline

XMLWordPrintable

      There is general confusing about how polling behaves in multibranch pipeline. Polling will continue to trigger the same revision over and over again because mutlibranch is pinned to the revision found in computation.

      For now we should disable the trigger in properties step of a multibranch pipeline.

      The recommendation for users not using webhooks would be to configure the "Periodically if not otherwise run" but this will add more api calls.

          As a step towards JENKINS-32018, we could rather permit SCMTrigger but amend WorkflowJob.poll to ignore polling on any SCM which came from a branch project (i.e., scm argument to checkout rather than something else).

          Disabling polling from properties means that it cannot be used in job configuration if any other properties are set. https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-41146

          Note that TimerTrigger (cron symbol) is occasionally desirable and unproblematic. For example, someone wants their master branch built every night, even if there are no recorded commits.
