configure Jenkins to ignore directories from svn when polling for changes

[Beth Hechanova]

Hi,

 

As part of my CI build process, I want to automatically update a file and update my svn repository with those changes.  If I go down this path, then that svn update would trigger a new CI build (endlessly).

 

Is there a way to configure the svn repository that Jenkins uses to point to a root directory and yet ignore a sub-directory (or an individual file)?  I previously used CruiseControl.NET and was able to set up my CI build in that way.  I don’t see a way around this with Jenkins and the svn plugin, except for explicitly not checking the root directory, and instead itemizing each sub-directory – which I don’t really want to do.

 

Thanks,

Beth

Click on the Advanced button in the SCM configuration. You’ll see all sorts of options for excluding items from triggering a build.

Hi,

I get bugged with an issue that makes me feel like I've already seen that. It look a lot like this link but I don't know what to do:
http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/JIRA-Issue-Comment-Edited-HUDSON-4988-Maven-3-support-in-maven-plugin-td3171394.html
I'm in Jenkins ver. 1.400, does this from my settings.xml causes the issue?

<mirrors>
��� <mirror>
��� ��� <id>reference-central</id>
��� ��� <name>reference-central</name>
��� ��� <url>http://internal.url/nexus/content/groups/reference-cache/</url>
��� ��� <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
��� </mirror>
</mirrors>

This issue doesn't happen in command line.

Thank you very much for any help,
Alexis.

Got it – I don’t know how I missed that feature.

Thanks, that seems to be exactly what I am looking for.
