Hi Andres, I found myself needing the same functionality, that is to run a few parallel branches that initiate work elsewhere and wait for notification. After all the branches finish I would continue the workflow. It fails with the same error for me and the build could not be aborted, except after Jenkins restart when it tried to resume.
This problem would be best brought to the *Jenkins Developers (jenkinsci-...@googlegroups.com)* as it is frequented by Cloudbees employees such as Jesse Glick who is most helpful in his answers. What I can help you with is the closure problem where your closure references the testName variable and ends up with the last value. You could write the assignment like this (a closure with a parameter which is local to the closure): @NonCPS def generateTestBranches (testList) { def branches = [:] for (testName in testList.split()) { branches[testName] = { name -> { it -> echo name sleep 20 } }.call(testName) } return branches } or define it beforehand and call in in the assignment @NonCPS def generateTestBranches (testList) { def createBranch = { name -> { it -> echo name sleep 20 } } def branches = [:] for (testName in testList.split()) { branches[testName] = createBranch(testName) } return branches } On Sunday, September 27, 2015 at 10:25:47 PM UTC+2, Andres Rodriguez wrote: > > Hi Everyone, > > First of all, I want to say that I'm really enjoying the workflow plugin. > Thanks for all the effort in bringing this feature to production.
