where can I find the code that deletes builds?

[Chris Withers]

Hi All,

Trying to do some debugging for this issue:

https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-16638

Where would I look in a clone of the jenkins repo to find the code that
deletes old builds? (since that's my only guess as to what could have
deleted these child builds...)

cheers,

Chris

i've got 2 snippets you can use.

The first one assume that you have access at the Groovy console. It will delete all the old builds of a job and reset the buildNumber:

def job = hudson.model.Hudson.instance.items.find{ it.name == "<JOB_NAME>"}
job.getBuilds().each{ it.delete()}
job.updateNextBuildNumber(1)

The second snippet delete the job itself (you've to check about the filesystem cleaning). Each "Item" as a delete method

Have a look at: https://github.com/jenkinsci/rrod-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/com/michelin/cio/jenkins/plugin/rrod/model/DeleteRequest.java

The RROD plugin aims to force user to ask to the Jenkins admin to rename or delete a job.

Let me know if you succeed to do it.

You can also look here:

Hudson.model.Run Line 1242:

 public synchronized void delete()

Hi Daniel,

I'm afraid this isn't what I'm after.
A whole bunch of builds in one of my matrix jobs vanished from the file
system this morning.

I'm trying to find out why, rather than deleting anything more!

cheers,

Chris

Got it, however can't see what loggers I could configure to capture when
files are deleted.

I guess I also can't follow where/how this would be called to delete the
child builds of a matrix config while leaving the parent builds in
place, but that's because I don't speak Java, which is a shame...
