Downstream-Ext

This plugin is up for adoption! We are looking for new maintainers. Visit our Adopt a Plugin initiative for more information.

This plugin supports extended configuration for triggering downstream builds:

  • trigger build only if downstream job has SCM changes
  • trigger build if upstream build result is better/equal/worse than any given result (SUCCESS, UNSTABLE, FAILURE, ABORTED)
  • for Matrix (alias multi-configuration) jobs you can decide which part of the job should trigger the downstream job: parent only, configurations only or both

Changelog

Version 1.8

  • Fixed incompatibility with newer Jenkins versions JENKINS-16917

Version 1.7

  • Improved to work with hierarchical projects, such as folders plugin
  • Build dowsntreams only when this job itself is triggered via SCM change (pull #1)

Version 1.6

  • fixed: (this time for real - well I certainly hope so): upstream build can block if downstream uses a SCM which 'locks' the workspace (e.g. CVS or Perforce) [JENKINS-5406]
  • added: you can now configure wich part of a matrix job (parent, configuration, both) should trigger a downstream build [JENKINS-6049]

Version 1.5

  • fixed again (hope the fix works this time): upstream build can block if downstream uses a SCM which 'locks' the workspace (e.g. CVS or Perforce) [JENKINS-5406 ]

Version 1.4

  • fixed: upstream build can block if downstream uses a SCM which 'locks' the workspace (e.g. CVS or Perforce) [JENKINS-5406 ]
  • fixed: workaround for matrix build not being triggered since 1.2 [JENKINS-5508]

Version 1.3

  • allow triggering for aborted jobs [JENKINS-5215]
  • allow triggering if build result is exactly equal or equal or under the specified threshold [JENKINS-5215]

Version 1.2 (requires Hudson 1.341 or higher)

  • show dependency to downstream jobs in build overview page (uses enhancements done to job dependency management introduced in Hudson 1.341)

Version 1.1 (requires Hudson 1.321 or higher)

  • allow triggering of downstream job if upstream's build result was failure.

Version 1.0
