Closing a github PR should not trigger tags examination

XMLWordPrintable

      I started to notice that our github app key quota gets exhausted. When this happens usually is because Jenkins is doing a full examination of the repository, and since I have a lot of tags (2k+), this process takes a while (10mins) and depletes the quota.

      From checking the Multibranch Pipeline Events logs I can see that tags are being processed, but usually it is hard to understand what triggered this. However today I managed to reproduce this by closing a PR (not merging). Here are the logs

      Something which is also weird is that 2 webhooks were received triggering the examination twice, but maybe that is another problem. Is this something by design? I mean does jenkins really need to check the tags? If yes, maybe this could be configurable?

       

      UPDATE: reopening the PR also triggers the tags examination
