running jobs in parallel using workflow plugin

[Ohad Basan]

Hello

I am trying to use workflow plugin to run a specific job 5 times concurrently and then wait for all of the jobs to finish.

this is the groovy snippet.

def concurrent=[:]

for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {

  concurrent["concurrent${i}"] = {

    build job: 'test_job', parameters: [[$class: 'StringParameterValue', name:'queue', value:     

    'automation_prod.q']]

    }

}

parallel concurrent

the result is the job running only once.

what am I doing wrong?

thanks

Ohad

Jenkins will collapse multiple queue items with identical parameters into one. Make sure to pass different parameters.

this is problematic for me.

I need to trigger the same job 5 times with the same parameter value?

it's not possible in any way?

if not I will hack it at the job level...

You could add a parameter that the job does not use just so that the set of parameters is different for each.

still no good

I tried it like this

def concurrent=[:]

for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {

  concurrent["concurrent${i}"] = {

    build job: 'test_job', parameters: [[$class: 'StringParameterValue', name:'queue', value:     

    'automation_prod.q'],[$class: 'StringParameterValue', name:'dummy', value: "${i}"]]

    }

}

parallel concurrent

this way the value of the 'dummy' variable always changing.
