Getting cause for branch indexing in multibranch pipeline

[Ramanathan Muthaiah]

Am referring to this API doc to find out which method should be used to identify the reason for a build job to be triggered.

http://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/hudson/model/class-use/Cause.html

Would appreciate if anyone on this list could point me to the relevant method ?

For some strange reason, GHE org folder config (in prod Jenkins) does not have periodic triggering / scanning (that initiates branch indexing) but the detected repos have that option enabled !!!

import jenkins.branch.BranchIndexingCause

    final def jenkinsInstance = jenkins.model.Jenkins.getInstance()

    final def jenkinsProject = jenkinsInstance.getItemByFullName(jenkinsProjectName)

    if (jenkinsProject != null) {

        final def job = jenkinsProject.getAllJobs().first()

        final def lastBuild = job.getLastBuild()

        final def causes = previousBuild.getCauses()

        final def buildCause = causes.first()

        if (buildCause instanceof BranchIndexingCause) {

        }

    }

Thanks Sverre Moe, you made my day !

Here is the final version of the code snippet. 

 

import jenkins.branch.BranchIndexingCause

    final def jenkinsInstance = jenkins.model.Jenkins.getInstance()

    final def jenkinsProject = jenkinsInstance.getItemByFullName(jenkinsProjectName)

    if (jenkinsProject != null) {

        final def job = jenkinsProject.getAllJobs().first()

        final def lastBuild = job.getLastBuild()

        final def causes = lastBuild.getCauses()

        final def buildCause = causes.first()

        if (buildCause instanceof BranchIndexingCause) {

        }

    }
