Jenkins / JENKINS-37895 Option to "skip" a locked section if a newer build already completed it Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Components: lockable-resources-plugin Created: 2016/Sep/01 2:29 PM Priority: Minor Reporter: Roman Baeriswyl It would be great to have an option that when an older build finally gets a lock it can skip it because a newer build already completed it. Example: Start build 1 Start build 2 build 2 reaches locked block build 1 reaches locked block build 2 executes locked block (eg sonarqube scanner or deployment) build 2 frees the lock build 1 gets the lock build 1 skips block in the lock because a newer build already completed it As far as I understand this cannot be done right now. Would be really handy to have this. Add Comment

Re: Option to "skip" a locked section if a newer build already completed it Regarding the documentation, the concurrency property of a Stage (which is now deprecated) could exactly do this: The stage command lets you mark certain sections of a build as being constrained by limited concurrency (or, later, unconstrained). Newer builds are always given priority when entering such a throttled stage; older builds will simply exit early if they are preëmpted. This really is now a missing feature for me.

Just found out that this should be possible to achieve with the milestone step. Hopefully that will get released soon.

The milestone plugin will be here (I guess): https://github.com/jenkinsci/pipeline-milestone-step-plugin

Tobias Gruetzmacher resolved as Won't Do

This seems to need quite a lot of tracking and I currently consider this out of scope for the lockable-resources plugin. Feel free to reopen if you think otherwise.
