Re: Plugin to have several rows of View-Tabs

Hi Andreas, perhaps https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/DropDown+ViewsTabBar+Plugin might be of interest? While it does not support multi-row tabs, it adds a single dropdown menu instead. This might scale even better if you have a huge number of views. If you really need multi-row

Re: Set the job to be a flyweight task

Hi Sebastian, the 'parent' matrix builds are always fly-weight tasks. So you do not need to configure that explicitly. Only the individual 'child' matrix runs spawn by the matrix build (in your example: C1, C2, C2, ...) will take up an executor. By the way: matrix runs are executed in paral

Hi Ian, Ian Simpson wrote (13.06.2012 17:42): Ah, the ACL thing does help; I'll have to mess around with that a little. Glad this helped ;O) The problem with revoking the create permission is that calling Hudson.getInstance().createProject() started failing after the upgrade to Jenkins, where

Re: Ability to hide the "New Job" link without revoking create job permissions?

Hi Ian, you can escalate temporarily in your plugin code from the current user's permissions to super-powered 'SYSTEM' permissions like this: // First, become the SYSTEM... SecurityContext oldContext = ACL.impersonate(ACL.SYSTEM); // Then, do some stuff with super-powers here... // F

Re: Displaying user in the Build History column on the left

Hi bl0ck3r, the description setter plugin extracts texts from the console log of your build and sets them as description. "Started by ..." is part of the console log of a build (look for it at the top of the log). Try entering "Started by ([\S]+)" in the section "Post-build Actions -> Set bu

Re: Workspace cleanup after job removal

Hi Bertrand, Jenkins does not explicitly delete the workspace of a job when deleting the job. But if your job happens to reside on the master and your workspace happens to reside within your job directory (this is the default), deleting the job will also remove its workspace implicitly. If

Re: Is it called "Project" or is it called "Job"?

Hi bl0ck3r, this puzzled me as well at the beginning, but there's actually quite some logic to it ;O): A project is a special case of a job, i.e. all projects are jobs, but not all jobs are projects. Cheers, Simon. The long story: Perhaps it helps to extend to mentally the names to "*gen

Re: Build Periodically only if artifact to be copied has changed

Hi, you could try to use the https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/URLTrigger+Plugin instead of the "Build Periodically" trigger. The URL trigger can periodically check if the content of an URL has changed (any much more...). Your trigger URL should point to the artifact you are relyi

Hi Benedikt, there's an xUnit XML Schema (XSD) at https://gist.github.com/959290. Although I'm not quite sure about the relationship of that schema and the xUnit plugin, it might give you at least clues about the meaning of some elements and attributes. Cheers, Simon. -- Benedikt Rothe (20.0
