"Poll SCM now" button

[Terry.Rankine]

Hi Guys

 

I don’t want randoms building my project if there are no changes, but I figure I would be happy with a ‘poll now’ button.

 

Would also make the developers life easy, as currently the source is polled every 15 mins, and if they do a commit, they could hit poll now, to speed up the process.

 

Is there already a plugin for this?

Hi,

They are no randoms builds if there are no change: you have to use the
correct trigger, i.e. not "build periodically" but only "poll scm".
Then, jenkins polls the SCM according to the schedule that you define
and build ONLY if there are changes.

There are random builds when people press the build button! Even if there is no source change.

I want to make sure that we don't 'rebuild' a non changed source.

Having a 'poll scm' button and no build button would allow them to perform a much lighter operation (check the scm) than a build.

Note - All I want is for the devs to be able to 'skip the waiting step' before the next build, BUT the build engine is OPEN, and don't want anyone pushing the build it button.

Regards,
Terry Rankine

Why don't you just set the polling interval to e.g. 1 minute? Or let the SCM initiate the build automatically (trigger)?

Which SCM are you using?

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Building+a+software+project#Buildingasoftwareproject-Buildsbysourcechanges

http://YOURHOST/jenkins/job/PROJECTNAME/polling

should poll the scm, and only start the build if there are changes.

adding an UI control would be nice though.

Repos:

19 SVN [1.6] and 2 GIT.

 

Polling is just more server load, every 15 mins is an acceptable figure for the normal stuff.

 

I haven’t thought about triggers, but it would be a bit messy as we have multiple builds out of one of the svn’s

One of the svn’s look like this:

/project1/(trunk|branch|tag)

/project2/(trunk|branch|tag)

 

I am not saying that there are no current alternatives – just wanted to know if a poll now button was possible or even already existed.
