However, it may be that the pipeline assumes build failures (as opposed to unstable builds) should be retried. I've not seen that behavior, but I tend to prefer the notifyCommit / web hook technique rather than polling for changes. > I also had a situation where a build started but didn't finish within the > 5 minutes (ran for 4 hours without finishing) and so another build was put > in the queue, eventually leading to more than 50 jobs in the queue. > > I think that might reasonably be the expected behavior of the pipeline code. Pipelines allow multiple concurrent execution of the same job, and it may be that the pipeline is assuming that a specific SHA1 is not "built" until the job has completed. > Is this expected behavior?
