"Restrict where this project can be run"-Option not available for Matrix builds

XMLWordPrintable

      Hi,

      were facing this annoying Problem since several months.
      We're having a Matrix Build that can only be run successfully on the Master Hudson Node.
      But every time a Slave Node is online and this build is started it starts on the Slave-Node and of course fails.
      So we wanted to set this Matrix-Build to only run on Master-Hudson-Node but this option is not available in the configuration Page.

      Is it possible to make this option available for matrix build jobs ?

      thanks in advance,

      Robert

          Maybe the matrix "parent" build is causing your problems.

          The "Configuration Matrix" portion of a Multi-configuration job lets you determine where everything gets executed except for the "parent" build. By default, Hudson will run the parent build on a node based on an internal algorithm. This could include a slave node that can't run the parent build. That may be your problem. If it is, you can fix the issue by installing the "Matrix Tie Parent" plugin. This would allow you to force Hudson to run your parent build always on your Master Hudson Node.

          It doesn't seem like a plugin should be required for this. It's basic functionality.

          I am encountering this same problem; however, it is not the parent job that it is the problem, it is that all of my matrix jobs are running on the master when I want them to run on specific slaves.

          On other jobs, I set the 'Restrict where this project can be run' to "NODE1 | NODE2 | NODE3" (etc), and the job runs on whichever system is available.

          When setting up a matrix job, I see no way to do this except to create an additional axis. But, if I do that, then I get a two-dimensional matrix, and each of my configurations runs once on each host.

          What am I supposed to do in this situation?

          Take a look at the "Combination Filter" feature of a matrix project. The help text tells you how to fine-tune which configurations to run on which host.

          Okay, that does work. A little clumsy, but an acceptable workaround.

          Bump.
          Having this feature would be nice
