Generator triggers the build step using "conditional build step"

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      I'm trying to generate jobs that contain a build step of "conditional build step" which calls for a downstream trigger of another job. It seems that instead of including this build step in the output jobs, the generate triggers the downsteam job and the generated job does not contain this step at all.

      I have a "trigger/call builds on other projects" build step that gets put in the generated job just fine. It seems to be a problem with the "conditional build step" plugin or task.

          Conditional build steps are resolved at generation time, the build step is not generated because the job generator thinks that the condition is always false. There may be a bug in the resolution.

          Can you provide a sample configuration reproducing this behavior ?
          Thank you.

          Please see the attache job configs. The AA_Generate triggers the process.

          Great I'll look into this during the week. Thank you.

          I fixed the bug and I'm just about to release the 1.16.
          The fix is in 2 parts:

          • correctly keep the build step in the generated job
          • remove the trigger of freestyle jobs when they are part of a job generator hierarchy. If the job triggered in a conditional build step is a job generator then it will be correctly executed as expected.
