I'm stil not seeing any signs that the buildDiscarder plugin is working for
me. At the top of my Jenkinsfile, I have this:
properties([[
$class: 'jenkins.model.BuildDiscarderProperty',
strategy: [$class: 'LogRotator', numToKeepStr: '50',
artifactNumToKeepStr: '50']
]])
That's just above my "node {}" block.

https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/08def67a18eee51de9f3f99bc2a792fee1c160e0/core/src/main/java/hudson/tasks/LogRotator.java
I can see that this function should generate some logging, but I can't find
the log entries indicating this is running in either the web-based Jenkins
log page, or under /var/log/jenkins/*
The effective-but-imperfect workaround I've found is to just manually
delete only builds:
find "/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/My Pipeline/branches/" -mindepth 3
-maxdepth 3 -type d -ctime +15 | xargs -d '\n' rm -rf
That doesn't have the safety nets of preserving any builds that are
last-successful, promoted, etc.
Some questions:
* Should the logging I see in the source code *always* be happening or
there something I need to do activate that logging?
* Should properties() call work outside a node block?
* Are there any serious drawbacks to just manually deleting old build
myself? This built-in log rotation has proven especially time-consuming for
what seems like it should be a simple feature to setup.
Thanks,
Mark
