It looks like if you use the Parameterized Trigger Plugin’s ability to trigger builds on other projects and you “Block until the triggered projects finish their builds” then the triggered builds will not show up in the Downstream Build View plugin.
Steps to Reproduce: Install the Downstream Build View plugin and the Parameterized Trigger plugin Create a new job, jobA, and under Build select Trigger/call builds on other projects Under Projects to build enter jobB (I know it doesn’t exist yet but we are about to create it) Create a new job, jobB, and don’t configure it further Kick off a build of jobA and then click that build and click the Downstream build view link and notice jobB build number 1 is shown Go back to jobA and click the checkbox under the Build section “Block until the triggered projects finish their builds”, then click save Kick off a build of jobA and then click that build and click the Downstream build view link and notice jobB build number 2 is not shown and instead it says jobB is NOT_BUILT Versions: Jenkins – 1.470 Downstream build view – 1.7 Jenkins Parameterized Trigger plugin – 2.15 Plugins installed but Jenkins not restarted since apparently you can now install plugins without restarting
