Re: Pipeline Multibranch - Add the possibility to use a Jenkinsfile from other SCM It's a bit hard to follow the discussion here, but sounds like there is actually a way to accomplish this (albeit a bit awkwardly), and I know of at least one proprietary Jenkins extension offering what it sounds like this does, so am adjusting the priority downward a bit. Please feel free to amend the title/description to more clearly explain what specifically needed here and why it's critical if you think this should be a critical-priority improvement.

I reported this one! But now we are using shared libraries, so Jenkinsfile only contains the call to the shared library Example: DefaultJenkinsPipeline()

Mariela Daventini Ah! Okay, excellent, best possible outcome. Does that mean I can go ahead and close this one out?

I think so Sam Van Oort!  If any voter needs support, I really recomend using shared libraries!

Re: Pipeline Multibranch - Add the possibility to use a Jenkinsfile from other SCM

Use case: I have a forked opensource repo that I want to make changes to but don't want to pollute with a Jenkinsfile to build with internally. The Jenkinsfile must thus be in a different repository (without playing games in git to "hide" the Jenkinsfile commit(s)). If however I put it in a different repository I loose the ability to have bitbucket trigger the job on push to automatically build branches - right now it will only detect changes from the repository that has the Jenkinsfile which really won't change.

Mark R you can use the Pipeline Multibranch Defaults plugin for this, or if you are a CloudBees customer there is a “custom marker file” feature which is more flexible still.

Re: Pipeline Multibranch - Add the possibility to use a Jenkinsfile from other SCM I am closing this ticket. As far as I know there are two open source plugins that support this use case directly: Pipeline: Multibranch with defaults Remote File Plugin (CC Aytunc BEKEN, any thoughts about changing the display name of the plugin to something like "Pipeline Multibranch Remote Jenkinsfile Plugin" for clarity and so that users are more likely to find it when searching?) As Jesse mentioned, CloudBees also implemented a feature like this for CloudBees customers, see the documentation here. If those plugins do not have the features you want, I would open an RFE against the one you want to use, describing your use case and explaining why the current functionality of the plugin is not adequate.

Devin Nusbaum I agree with, I will try to change the plugin name. Thanks for the suggestion.
