Heiko Böttger commented on JENKINS-12290   Re: Lockup when using "trigger/call builds on other projects" and "Block until the triggered projects finish their builds" is used with only 1 executor Hi is any one working on that? For me this problem make the parameterized jobs plugin unusable. I cannot risk that jenkins suddenly get stuck and block all builds. My scenario is as following: I have a buildscript which needs to be executed (on specific slave) to create a property files for each dependency I need to build. I use the parameterized job plugin to run a job for each dependency and wait until its finished. Here the problem starts as soon as I need to block until the end, the executed used by the main job is never releases. This issue can be easily reproduced using a slave with exactly one executor. Now I thought the Matrix Job used as upstream job type would solve the issue since it is executed as a flyweight job, however I need to execute the script for creating the dependencies on a specific slave which forces me to define a slave axis. The slave axis again is exeuted as a subtask which is not flyweight causing the same issues. One solution which will work is releasing the executor before blocking and acquire it again when the subtask is done. My current idea to workaround that is avoiding the need for a axis in the matrixjob and using a separate downstream job to create the property files which I will transfer to the matrxijob by using the copy artifacts plugin. That's rather complicated and I am still not sure whether that will work. Any better idea?
