Multi-Branch Pipeline triggers interval example?

[Greg Smith]

Hi,

Would someone mind giving me an example of how to use the "properties" task to set a build trigger so that a multibranch pipeline build will run every 15 minutes?

Somehow, both the snippet generator and the pipeline syntax generator are both errorring out on my server, so I can not find any sample of how to do it correctly.

My snippet generator with the value of "H/15 * * * *" just generates the following:
pipelineTriggers([])

And the pipeline syntax generator shows the following:
$class: 'PipelineTriggersJobProperty'
triggers
Array/List:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: do not know how to categorize attributes of type hudson.triggers.Trigger<?>


So with both of those broken, I can't seem to find any good example of how to configure this new capability in my by branch build

Thanks,
Greg

As I hate searching groups for problems, finding exactly my problem, but not finding any answer -- I wanted to follow up on my own post.

I received this example of how to setup the job to build every 15 minutes

properties([pipelineTriggers([cron('H/15 * * * *')])])

When I filed a bug for the snippet generator and documentation not working, in this bug:
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-37477

Cheers,

tried this suggested syntax:

properties([pipelineTriggers([cron('H/15 * * * *')])])

 

using plugin="workfl...@2.13" and plugin="workflow-job@2.6"

but it gives me issues on cron:

No such DSL method 'cron' found among steps

just my observation, others could have better luck..
