Job structure for multiple build "cycles"

[Scott Klein]

I have multiple jobs - each job triggers zero or more “child” jobs – and I have a trigger to kick off a full build chain by starting the first job as a parameterized build

 

For example: Trigger -> call Job 1 with “clean deploy” -> Job 1 completes and calls Job 2 with the current build parameters, etc, etc

 

So I can run my trigger with a goal as a parameter and everything will build using the parameter I feed into the Trigger.

 

What I want to be able to do is run thru the Job build cycle twice (with different parameters) and after the 2^nd cycle kick off a final job:

·         Cycle #1: run with “mvn deploy” parameters

o   This must complete in full before Cycle #2 starts

·         Cycle #2: run  with “mvn dependency:copy-dependencies …” parameters

o   This copies provided dependencies for each job to a specific folder

·         Last Step: Run final job

o   This scp’s the contents of the dependencies folder up to our server

 

I can’t imagine I am doing anything unique or new so hopefully someone can give me some pointers

 

 

*I cannot run both sets of parameters at the same time or within the same cycle – this is not an option* For some reason when I run as “deploy dependency:copy-dependencies -DincludeScope=provided -DoutputDirectory=$HOME/ghlib -Dmdep.stripClassifier=true -Dmdep.stripVersion=true” my artifacts are not created correctly, but if I just call “deploy” they do. Since I can’t figure that out I figure I can just run 2 build cycles – once for deploy and once for the dependency copy

 

 

Thanks in advance
