Declarative script: specify build trigger in GUI or script?

[David Aldrich]

Hi,

I'm confused about how to specify a build trigger for a declarative script. I want the job to be triggered by an SCM commit so I specified in my script:

triggers {
pollSCM('H/5 * * * *')
}

to poll every 5 minutes.

However, the job is not being run even though commits have occurred.

I notice that there is also a 'Build trigger' section in the GUI configuration for a branch of the job.

Where should I specify the build trigger: in the GUI or in the script?

Best regards

David

A couple questions - is this being specified in a Jenkinsfile coming from SCM? Have you run the build once?

Hi Andrew,

 

Yes the polling is specified in the JenkinsFile, which does come from SCM.  I found that the polling ran fine after I had manually run the build once, as you intimated. So it’s working fine now.

 

I don’t know how one should now that it’s necessary to run the build manually once. However, I also realise that it is hard to know where to document that sort of thing.

 

I do think it is confusing that the polling schedule can be specified in the GUI and/or in the script.

 

Best regards

 

David
