I am trying to do some integration work between TFS and Jenkins using the build-pipeline plugin. Here is what the workflow would look like: - Dev commits the code - TFS calls Jenkins REST api to trigger a job - The build calls a CLI that will trigger Build on the TFS Server - When the build completes it will call Jenkins REST API to trigger the next job
My problem is that the cli makes an async call. So basically it makes a request and returns call back. So for the purpose of the job, it has successfully run and finished. However to represent that on the pipeline I want the job to continue running till the 'build' has completed on TFS and calls the API back. One way is to write an application that will be a broker for the TFS communication and make the job wait till the start and finish has happened. However I wanted to check the collective wisdom on this group for a better way (possibly a pre-existing plugin or feature) on jenkins to do this. thanks in advance.
