Our Jenkins configuration to discover branches and PRs is as follow:

• branches: Exclude branches that are also filed as PRs
• PRs: Merging the pull request with the current target branch revision
• Ignore pull requests marked as drafts

We had one branch that also had a draft PR attached to it. This caused

• the branch to be ignored, as it has a PR
• the PR to be ignored as it is a draft
  • The branch is not meant to be merged soon and has conflicts, thus converting it to non-draft is not an option

We resolved it by closing the PR. However, it would be nice if either:

"Ignore PRs marked as drafts" caues the "Exclude branches that are also filed as PRs" to ignore draft PRs

or

There would be a setting for branches "Exclude branches that have a ready to review PR".

 

Also: The Scan Repository Log could be improved. It just says that it is checking that branch, but not why it is ignoring it -> say something like "ignoring due to PR 42".
