Unable to abort build executing Groovy Postbuild script

[Marcin Zajączkowski]

Hi,

In the Groovy Postbuild plugin I call an external service in a loop waiting for some other operation to finish. It works, however, the build ignores a try to abort it using the Jenkins UI or an API.

I tried to check if the current thread isn't interupted (Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()), but it's not. The build results (manager.getResult()) is also SUCCESS.

How can I programatically detect (probably using some Jenkins API) that it was requested to abort a build to break my loop and allow the build to be aborted?

You can detect if the build has been aborted by accessing Thread.interrupted() or Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted();

But your long running task needs to check this...

Thanks for your quick response Ullrich. Unfortunately, I tried it before sending my message to the list and it didn't work. Sample code snippet - Groovy Postbuild:

<CODE>
int i=0

while (true) {

  if (++i > 20) {    //to do not create a zombie build :)
    manager.listener.logger.println "Timeout. Aborting..."
    break
  }

  if (Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
    manager.listener.logger.println "Interrupted. Aborting..."
    break
  }

  manager.listener.logger.println "Not aborted - ${manager.getResult()} - ${Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()}"

  sleep(1000)
}
</CODE>

As a result I have:

<OUTPUT>

Not aborted - SUCCESS - false
Not aborted - SUCCESS - false
(...)
Not aborted - SUCCESS - false
Timeout. Aborting...
</OUTPUT>

I tested it also with the Groovy system script and the result is the same. I'm unable to detect if an abort was requested. It's somehow a limitation if you wait for some external event in the Groovy script.

Is it the same thread? Is there any other way to check if an abort was requested?
