Possible to skip duplicate builds?

[Stuart Reynolds]

We have a case like this:

 JOB_A gets frequently triggered by checkins (and takes 5 minutes)

and triggers:

 JOB_B with PARAMETER=abc

 JOB_B with PARAMETER=xyz

So, for JOB_B I see may see an ever increasing stack of pending jobs:

 JOB_B with PARAMETER=abc 

 JOB_B with PARAMETER=xyz

 JOB_B with PARAMETER=abc

 JOB_B with PARAMETER=xyz

 JOB_B with PARAMETER=abc

 JOB_B with PARAMETER=xyz

  ....

Is it possible to select only the latest 2 builds and exclude the rest? i.e. scheduling   "JOB_B with PARAMETER=abc" squashing earlier versions of this identical task?

Thanks,

- Stuart

Interesting. In case you don't know, squashing builds with same parameter in the queue is already the default behavior.
In that case, I suppose this is due to the alternation of parameters that that doesn't happen.
I guess writing a plugin for that would not be very difficult.

Cheers

Hmm... thanks. Did not know that.
I noticed today that the dependency graph view show double arrows from
job A to B. Perhaps this is the cause. Will investigate.
