Does 'scm checkout' always give the same result with parallel builds in JenkinsFiles ?

[sleipnir]

Hi

I was playing with JenkinsFiles and Organization folders (multi-branch pipeline) and I was wondering:
Is there is any guarantee the 'checkout scm' command would checkout the exact same revision on all node, even if new commits are pushed before the build is finished ?
Also, I saw an environment variable that gives the branch name (BRANCH_NAME) but nothing for the revision.
Do I have to call a git command after the 'checkout scm' command to extract the sha1 so I can stamp the build output properly ? (something like 'git rev-parse HEAD')

Here's a test jenkinsfile I'm using:

stage 'build'

parallel (
  BuildDebug: { node {
    checkout scm

 
 }},
  BuildRelease: { node {
    checkout scm
 
 }}
)

Thanks

The intent of the checkout scm step is that it takes a single revision, and uses that revision for the duration of the job.

Unfortunately, a bug was found during discussions after Jenkins World which seem to indicate that there area cases where git plugin 2.5.3 and beyond risks not checking out the same revision for every use of "checkout scm" within a single job.

The fix is in https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin/commit/cd6c7cdcba29f5c3615ad35d690678ebd5694348 .

Tests which confirm the fix has the desired behavior are in https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin/commit/e15a431a62781c6081c57354a33a7e148a4452a1 and https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin/commit/fcbdc768536c2c5286680734bbedc64fec0103c2 .

Those fixes have not yet been included in a plugin release.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Any info about the recommended way to get the sha that was actually used ?

Was this merged already?

Is it safe to use checkout scm within for parallel jobs?
