Title: Message Title

Mark Waite updated an issue   Jenkins / JENKINS-43052 Disallow "Additional Behaviors > Check out to a sub-directory" for Pipeline projects Change By: Mark Waite _Additional Behaviors > Check out to a sub-directory_ clones Jenkinsfile in the specified directory. Meanwhile, Jenkins itself continues to look for Jenkinsfile at the top of the workspace.  This is very confusing. As far as I can see, _Additional Behaviors > Check out to a sub-directory_ is never appropriate with Pipeline.  This should be handled in Jenkinsfile using dir(): {code:java} dir('subDir') {     checkout scm }{code} In JENKINS-40267, [~jglick] suggested that {{git-plugin}} should conditionally display the _Additional Behaviors > Check out to a sub-directory_ option only if the {{AncestorInPath}} is an {{AbstractProject}}.   Removing the option might break compatibility but we could print an explanatory warning into the build log.  The warning would say that {{Check out to a sub-directory}} is not intended for use with Pipeline jobs.  The message should describe the preferred declarative technique of using the the {{dir}} step to provide a subdirectory which contains the checkout or using Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v7.13.6#713006-sha1:cc4451f) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Issues" group.
