I have found the git plugin keeps some sort of state about the built branches in the workspace.
If we configure the workspace to be deleted in the beginning or end of the build, there's no predicting which branch Jenkins is going to build next. (Of course, we could specify the branch in the job configuration but there are some jobs for which we really like it when Jenkins can build and test whatever branch someone should push.) So I have used a workaround: Check the "Clean after checkout" box in git SCM Advanced settings. I think it works as well as cleaning the workspace. It might actually make thing slightly faster because Jenkins does not have to clone the workspace from scratch. If you have a good-sized git repo, even the cloning might take a couple of minutes. -- Sami William Soula <[email protected]> kirjoitti 19.2.2013 kello 15.52: > I am trying to build a git project on a windows slave using Jenkins > 1.501 with git plugin 1.1.17.
