P4 Plugin - Jenkins Poll not triggering builds despite finding changes

[Marley Kudiabor]

Hello,

I'm using the P4 Plugin on a stream and trying to poll and Jenkins isn't triggering a poll despite there being changes. It clearly detects changes and tries to parse them but then it goes on to say "no changes"

polling log below:

Started on Aug 23, 2017 4:43:41 PM
P4: Polling on: master with:jenkins-P4_CS_Copy_HTML_DEV

what is your p4 configuration within the job?

Additionally I should mention I can't expand the +_ javascript link below each p4 action. I'm not sure what should be there. 

I'm also using  Preview Check Only

[Marley Kudiabor]

This is the checkout command

                checkout([$class: 'PerforceScm',

                browser: [$class: 'SwarmBrowser', url: 'REDACTED'],

                credential: 'REDACTED',

                filter: [[$class: 'FilterViewMaskImpl',

                viewMask: '//CALS_Streams/CS_DEV/HTML_DEV']],

                populate: [$class: 'CheckOnlyImpl',

                force: false,

                have: false,

                modtime: false,

                quiet: true],

                workspace: [$class: 'StaticWorkspaceImpl',

                charset: 'none',

                name: 'jenkins-P4_CS_Copy_HTML_DEV',

                pinHost: false]])

the "+" mostly works if you have Quiet turned off.

preview check is probably not going to do a build because it has not updated anything in the workspace. It just updated the the workspace's definition on the server to match the current contents of the stream. thus, no changes

sorry, my p4 builds pre-date pipelines so I'm not that sure of the syntax you have here.

When I check the workspace manually I can see that the files are not up to date. There are files behind the head revision that match the ones in the polling log. I just need to figure out why despite seeing those changes it thinks there are no changes.
Unless this is an actual bug.

Marley. do you want Perforce to checkout those files and perform some kind of build? if so, then I think $class: 'CheckOnlyImpl' is not what you want.

I doubt its a bug (it could be) but the Perforce support in Jenkins is pretty robust and has been around for years.
