Promoted Build Parameter Usage

[Trey Duskin]

Hello,

I am trying to use the Promoted Builds Plugin to help me select builds to deploy to environments.  I have set up a Build Job which will build the software, and set up a "Promote build when..." rule on this build which I set up for manual approval.  I have a separate Deploy Job which I set as being Parameterized, using a Promoted Build Parameter which is configured to use the Build Job as the 'Job Name', and I am able to select the Approval I set up on the build job in the drop down.

However, when I go to 'Build Now with parameters' for the Deploy Job after manually promoting a build on the Build Job, the parameter is shown on the "This build requires parameters" screen as an empty drop down, and I cannot select the build I want to deploy.  I think I might be mis-understanding what the Promoted Build Parameter is supposed to do... for example, how am I supposed to use this parameter in the Deploy Job build configuration to access the Build Job's promoted build parameters?  The help text is not very helpful here... or I may just not understand it.  Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Thanks,

Trey

Have you created a build dependency?

I have not, other than by using the Promoted Build Parameter function.  Is there a specific way I should make a dependency?  I have many options... And I don't necessarily want this deploy job to run automatically... I want the promotion step to act as my "gate" to deploy, but I'd like the option to choose what to deploy from among the promotes builds.
