[JIRA] (JENKINS-52605) Helix branches do not recurse when defining multibranch pipeline

[kwi...@perforce.com (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Karl Wirth commented on JENKINS-52605   Re: Helix branches do not recurse when defining multibranch pipeline Needs documentation that this is expected behavior. Built in bubble help  currently states it's recursive: The plugin will recursively search for a Jenkinsfile (or defined item) using the last directory name for the multi-branch name. For example: //depot/... And online doc is not explicit that it is not recursive: https://github.com/jenkinsci/p4-plugin/blob/master/docs/MULTI.md#helix-branches   Additionally the folder name is the unique identifier so doc should state that branch names must be unique.  For example if you use the mapping:   //depot/BaseProj/Proj*/...   or the mapping:   //depot/BaseProj/ProjA/... //depot/BaseProj/ProjB/... And the directories are: //depot/BaseProj/ProjA/01 //depot/BaseProj/ProjA/02 //depot/BaseProj/ProjB/01  ** //depot/BaseProj/ProjB/02  **  //depot/BaseProj/ProjB/03 //depot/BaseProj/ProjB/04 You will end up with the following branches because '01' and '02' are not unique: 01 (from ProjA) 02 (from ProjA) 04 (from ProjB) 05 (from ProjB)   Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.10.1#710002-sha1:6efc396) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Issues" group.
