Can't figure out how Jenkins GIT Plugin works

[ozca...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

I have a project on Github which has 3 branches: master, test2, test3 -> https://github.com/ozcanovunc/jenkins-test/blob/master/test.py. And I'm running test.py file in batch command by "python test.py" command.

• test2 branch : code with error in test.py
• test3 branch : code with error in test.py
• master branch : ok code in test.py

So when I modify test.py in each branch and build the project I get 3 builds with 1 success and 2 failures which is fine. But afterwards, when I build the project on Jenkins again (with no modifications on codes), I get 1 build and that is test3 build with failure.

So is that a bug or something? Where are the 2 other builds? Master and test2?

(And one more thing. I think it's the pretty much the same problem. When I modify only test.py in master, then build the project, I get one build with success. It doesn't build other branches.)

Regards,

Ozcan

multi-branch support in git-plugin is a poor implementation, and running the job manually will just rebuild the last commit (so only one branch from your 3 ones) not all of them, not even considering build history is irrelevant with branches mixed

If you want actual multi-branch support select a job type which do support scm-api, for sample https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Multi-Branch+Project+Plugin 

I'd like we deprecate this is git plugin (which would remove 75% of its most unmaintainable code) but this would have HUGE impact on user base

I totally agree with you. I thought that I was mising something like some configuration setting.

Multi Branch Plugin solved my problem tho.

Thank you so much!
