That's correct. >> Alternatively, make the Test job trigger a job which waits until next >> midnight and then triggers Deploy. >> > > You'll might stack up a lot of deploy jobs, though, won't you? ie, if you > have 3 commits in one day, Test will run 3 times and it'll trigger the > Deploy 3 times, right? Hmm... you're right. The first Deploy would run, discover it is not midnight and sleep. The next trigger for Deploy would place Deploy in the queue. The next would not add a new Deploy into the queue because one is already there. When the midnight comes, Deploy would do it's thing and finish and then the Deploy in the queue would run, maybe discover it is not midnight and decide to sleep until the next midnight. This is probably not what you want, so maybe better to go with the source checkout. -- Sami > > Miguel > >> -- Sami >> >> Miguel Almeida kirjoitti 12.6.2012 kello 14.30: >> >> > Dear all, >> > >> > I have a Maven project with two jobs: >> > 1) Test - runs all tests (with surefire), and runs on every SCM commit >> > 2) Deploy - deploys the new version on a server, and runs once at >> > midnight >> > >> > Everything is running great.
