I guess I don't understand having a jenkins job that isn't really a jenkins job and intentionally doesn't do the things I want jenkins to do... Is there some other plugin or approach that would be better to accomplish this? In general that would be to poll a subversion repository, and when a change is detected, build the same revision across serveral platfoms (even if there are subsequent commits before all builds happen), optionally run some tests, and optionally archive some of the results for subsequent optional promotion. I, and many of the other users here are not java/groovy experts so your DSL is appealing, but it doesn't seem to match all of the job we need to describe. Is there some way to import its methods into a generic groovy build step to be able to use them in a less restricted context? I don't think triggering a build on every commit would work in our situation - they are mostly hourly or nightly polls. If there is no other way to do it, should I think in terms of running one platform's builds with the stock svn polling, then having that job kick off the build flow job for the rest? And if I did that, can I pass the triggering SVN_REVISION through to its child jobs so that the builds and tests are consistent? -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
