How to use JJB to write the set build description in the Post-Build Actions

[Tony Chia]

The retry build after failure is listed under the "Post Build Actions" and have the following inputs

Retry build after failure

Rerun build for unstable builds as well as failures
Rerun build only for failed parts on the matrix
Delay before retrying build
 Fixed
Fixed delay
 Progressive
Maximum number of successive failed builds

 Advanced...

Can someone points me to the documentation on this? 

Thanks

Tony

I found the answer myself from https://jenkins-job-builder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/publishers.html?highlight=description-setter#publishers.description-setter

Hi Tony,

I'm glad you found the answer by yourself.

Post-build Actions are Publishers in JJB nomenclature mainly because this is what the Jenkins Java API calls them. So if you want to implement a plugin with some post-build action you implement the Publisher API. It's not necessarily intuitive but it's the way it is.

Best,

Adam
