1. Archive the needed artifacts in the build job - see the section in post build actions( Archive the artifacts (to the Jenkins build dir), or possibly use one of the other plugins to deploy to another location)
2. Use the copy artifact plugin build step to copy the files from the build job to the test job https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Copy+Artifact+Plugin You will want to set the Discard Old Builds -> Advanced -> Days to keep artifacts/Max # of builds to keep with artifacts options to make sure that you do not run out of space on the Jenkins Master. If you have a large overall size of artifacts you may want to relocate the Jenkins Builds Dir Manage Jenkins-> Configure System-> Build Record Root Directory (under the Advanced item below the Home Dir) Chris, On Wednesday, July 11, 2012 5:19:21 PM UTC+1, Glenn MacGregor wrote: > > Hi All, > > I am looking to update my current build to a multijob build and am > planning on using the Parameterized Trigger plugin for this.
