Delivery Pipeline plugin + Join plugin question

[Tatar Kolos]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement CD with Jenkins and the Delivery Pipeline plugin
combined with the Join plugin seem to provide a very nice way of splitting
and merging the pipeline.

My issue however is that if I retrigger manually a job/step in the
pipeline after it split, the pipeline will not continue as expected.

What I mean is that if I have the following jobs:

"build" _triggering_ "testA" _and_ "testB"
On completion of "testA" _and_ "testB" I have "deploy"

"testA"
/ \
"build" "deploy"
\ /
"testB"

And say "testB" fails, so I retrigger that and it now passes, I'd expect
the pipeline to continue and "deploy" to run. That doesn't happen however.

Seems like the Join plugin is not being invoked in the "build" job
configuration after a downstream job has been retriggered.

Is this a bug? A feature?

Thanks,

Kolos

Hi,

Not really an answer to your question, but as you seem to be still in the beginning of that process, you should really look into trying the Workflow Plugin instead.

Thanks.

Why do you think so?

I need visualisation that can be used as a UI. As I understand with
Jenkins, I need the paid-for version for it.
