Are pipeline locks expected to behave when used by two nodes simultaneously?
My Jenkinsfile defines the following helper - def log(msg) { echo((new Date().format("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss: ")) + msg) } def lockDB(number, callback) { try { log "${number}: Acquiring lock ..." lock(resource: "boom-test-database-${number}", inversePrecedence: true) { log "${number}: Acquired!" callback() log "${number}: Releasing..." } } finally { log "${number}: Released!" } } I somewhat frequently see two nodes manage to acquire the same lock simultaneously, as in the following example, where master locked a resource from 14:45:57 -> 14:52:04, and the slave locked the same resource from 14:51:24 -> 14:56:43.

Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding how locking is supposed to work in Jenkins? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
