Hi everyone,

I have some builds that do roughly something like:

- git clone

- make

Because of the flaky origin, the clone sometimes fail.

In that case, I would like to mark a given build as "SKIPPED" rather than "UNSTABLE".

(from within a shell-build-action)

Is something like that possible?

Many thanks in advance.

Matej

Technically yes - as the Result is extensible.

In reality you would then have to fork various plugins.

However there already is NOT_BUILT which sounds like what you want - so the question becomes how to get the build to show this state given your conditions.

If Jenkins is doing the clone then you may need to patch the plugin - if you are doing the clone (why?) then you may be able to use a groovy build step so long as the build result is not final.
