Jenkins Workflow/Pipeline - Separate SCM / Gitlab

[Peter Nijssen]

Hi all,

I really would like to use the Jenkins Workflow/Pipeline plugin. The problem I am currently facing is the fact that Gitlab doesn't have a good integration with this plugin;

https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin/issues/167#issuecomment-167041912

The problem is, the gitlab plugin only kicks a project off, when SCM has been configured to match the project. Since the Workflow plugin does not support this, the job is never kicked off.

Is there anyway I can achieve to use the workflow plugin with Gitlab? Is there a way to use the workflow as a build script? Can I somehow still define the SCM for a project?

Thanks in advance!

i simply create a job that check the SCM for any changes. And then set the pipeline job as downstream job.

That is a possibility. I would love to see a better integration though :(
