I will look into using Workflow instead of Matrix. Looks also that Workflows is a big thing in the coming Jenkins 2.0.
I have previously submitted a feature request for matrix plugin to support pre-build step. https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-30792 tirsdag 8. desember 2015 07.41.08 UTC+1 skrev Baptiste Mathus følgende: > > > Le 7 déc. 2015 1:05 PM, "Sverre Moe" <sverr...@gmail.com <javascript:>> a > écrit : > > > > I have several projects of type Multi-Configuration.
