I have a potential use case....but I'm also new to Jenkins so this may be doable today in a way that I have yet to learn.
In trying to resolve how to use Maven and Jenkins and create a continuous delivery (CD) pipeline where each step in the pipeline progresses the state such as: build->Unit Test->Deploy-dev->Integration Tests->Deploy-stage->Load Tests->DeployLive (or something like this), we could have the functionality to run each pipeline stage as part of the same source project and configured via various profiles/plugins in the Maven POM. However, it seems that allowing any random slave to execute the various steps in the pipeline would incur a lot of unneeded overhead by either requiring the project and artifacts be archived and/or copied to each slave at each point in the pipeline depending on who gets the job, or the same source would need to be checked out and built for whichever phase is being run. Seems like a lot of unneeded overhead. In my mind, it would make better sense to allow any random slave to pick up and initiate a build pipeline, but lock the execution of the entire pipeline to that slave+workspace until completion. Is this already doable without too much hacking? On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 12:28 PM, Sami Tikka <sjti...@gmail.com> wrote: > AFAIK there is no obvious way to do that in Jenkins.
