Hi,
I'm not sure I'm following you ... or maybe we are using different ways to
write our pipeline.
So, to be more explicit ... this is what we have in our pipeline:
pipeline {
triggers {
// runs every two hours
cron('H H/2 * * *')
}
That is a Multibranch project (to be precise we use GitHub, not sure if
what I see maybe related to Git plugin itself) and what happens due to the
"H" special case is that each branch will have a different starting hour
and minutes that actually spread them over the time.
In that case you achieve the fact that there will never be two jobs
starting at the same time.
Now, you can still have them overlap after they started.
To avoid that they run a certain stage at the same time we use locks:
steps {
// lock not usable in declarative pipeline due to JENKINS-43002
script { lock(label: resourceLabel, quantity: 1) {
With the above, what you achieve is that only and only one job at the time
can run what's inside the script block.
We both cron and locks ... you spread your jobs across day hours and you
are guaranteed that they run sequentially when the reach a part that can't
be run by two jobs at the same time. And that works across branches.
