pipeline - Avoiding repeating work if nodes execute on same build executor?

[Jonathan Hodgson]

Hi,

My project workflow is

1) Checkout revision from repository

2) Apply patch

3) Build various versions (debug/release, 32/64 bit etc).

Now right now I only have one executor, so the various builds will have to happen sequentially, but I would prefer to write the script such that if I add extra executors at a later date, it will use them

So it seems to make sense to divide the building between nodes, in a parallel block.

However, I don't want to be repeating steps 1 and 2 if they've already been done on that executor.

Is there a standard way to do this?

regards

Jon

Put 1 and 2 inside a `node`, then `stash` anything you will need later
and `unstash` it on any subsequent `node`.
