Workspace race condition with gerrit triggers

[Berceanu Cristian]

I have a very simple build step set up: Pull the change from a gerrit server and then build that change. I do pull patchset so the pull doesn't download the whole repo. I also set up a workspace for the next task to compile the downloaded patchset. My question is: Can this run into a race condition? My build takes around 1 minute and if someone commits something in that 1 minute I'm afraid the other task will fire and will overwrite the workspace, since it's a shared workspace.

Hi,

if it is a shared workspace, then yes, it will have a race condition. Use one of the lock-out plugins to limit the concurrency of the job to 1, then the jobs will get queued instead.

Thanks a million! I'll do that
