A regex that starts with .* and ends with (opt1|opt2)* will always match all strings. I think you want something like .*( opt1|opt2)+ where the trailing + means at least one thing from opt1|opt2 must be present.
From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Eric Fetzer Sent: 01 March 2016 14:21 To: Jenkins Users Subject: Re: Conditional Step Regular Expression Match Thanks for the reply Eric! Sorry, the square brackets are just from the Jenkins output. My regex's look like this (4 single conditional steps based on the label passed in build.apps): .*(NAP-Client|NAP-ALL)* .*(NAP-Server|NAP-ALL)* .*(NAP-Reports|NAP-ALL)* .*(CAS|NAP-ALL)* In this particular case, I passed in build.apps='NAP-Client,NAP-Server' So it should go in and trigger the build associated with these two regex's. But what it does is go into all 4 and build them. I'm guessing I could put anything at all in the Label and it would match for all of these conditions because of a mistake I'm making in my regex.
