Concurrent builds in a BuildFlow

[Jim Adams]

I am using the BuildFlow plugin to attempt to sequence a whole bunch of builds. The same build could be queued by different build flow jobs. The problem is that if the different build flow jobs are run at the same time one will fail if the other has already enqueued the job. Is there a way to just simply skip that build? Or wait for it to end without enqueuing it?

HI,

I'm not clear on your use case but BuildFlowExtensions[1] contains a "block" DSL that may help you.

The block DSL ensures that only one Run (build) of a particular BuildFlow will execute the steps contained within it concurrently.
It further will only allow the most recent FlowRun to proceed if multiple become blocked.
It is expected that the blockName will only be used once in a Flow - using the blockname multiple times will work, however the results may not be what the user intended).

If the block is not executed then the flow will be aborted.

I saw that but I don't want to block until it is done, I want to not build it if it is already in the queue.
