[workflow-plugin] build wait for downstream job

[Nicolas Labrot]

Hello,


I have two jobs 'Job 1' and 'Job 2'. 'Job 2' is a downstream job of 'Job 1' (Job 1 builds Job 2 as a post build action). 'Job 2' always fails.

I setup a Workflow project with:

build job: 'Job 1', propagate: true, wait: true

Even if propagate and wait are set to true, my workflow project never waits for 'Job 2' completion and never fails.

Did I do something wrong?

Jenkins: 1.609
Workflow: 1.5


Thanks,

Nicolas

Because the post-build action to trigger another job runs asynchronously. Job 1 has completed, so the Workflow step completes. If you want Job 1 to wait for Job 2, and Job 1 is not itself a workflow, then you need to use the Parameterized Trigger plugin which offers a build _step_ that waits for a downstream build to complete.
