Start button is not available for multibranch pipelines which haven't ran before

    • Blue Ocean 1.4 - beta 1, Blue Ocean 1.4 - beta 3, Blue Ocean 1.4 - beta 2

      When attempting to put multibranch pipelines into source control in order to transfer the jobs between staff cleanly, there is no button to start a pipeline branch build if it has not previously ran before.

       

      I'll update here with a screenshot later, but let me know if that isn't clear.

          fubarhouse do you want a "start for X branch" or a "Scan multibranch" action here?

          James,

          Basically a trigger button (much like on docker hub - as an example), because on a multi-branch pipeline without previous builds, the start button is missing.

          Understandably the system isn't used as some others may be - I had the job configurations introduced via git and Ansible - and the button is available via the default Jenkins UI.

          Do you need any more information?

          Kind regards,

          Karl

          Testing Notes:

          • Pending clarification on the changes which need to be made here (IOW, do we want a "Rescan" available from BO, or do we want a "Build this unbuilt branch" button), we should have unit tests created to go along with.
          • Making this functionality part of an existing (or new) end-to-end Selenium test would be of value as well.

          We will be putting trigger action in JENKINS-40211.
