Why not just run this last job as a child job of the matrix build? The matrix build is really designed for running the *same* steps for each cell in the matrix; if you find yourself trying to coerce it into handling an entire flow of builds, you're probably heading the wrong direction.
The purpose of 'touchstone' builds in matrix jobs is not to perform preparatory work for the other builds, it's to run a build that acts as a sanity check on the code in question before launching into dozens (or hundreds) of other builds that would just fail anyway. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] At: Apr 16 2013 15:42:54 Thanks for the quick reply, Sami. I'm interested in forcing the particular configuration to run last because I have lots of tests which generate quite a bit of useful debugging info on the back-end of the target that I am running the exhaustive tests against. Once the testing is complete, I retrieve logs from that target system in such a way that the retrieval itself becomes a sort of code coverage test. The thing I am looking for is something like how one can execute a touchstone build first by specifying some identifying character in, but more like a 'tombstone' configuration which would be guaranteed to run last, and be included in the matrix.

You need to remove the configuration you want to run last and make a new non-matrix job. Then make the matrix job trigger a build of the non-matrix job. If this is not good for you, please explain what you are trying to do and maybe we can suggest a better way to do it. -- Sami Adam Daughterson <[email protected]> kirjoitti 3.4.2013 kello 17.22: > I have a matrix build with touchstone builds, multiple configurations, etc. > I have a step which should be the last step in the matrix (not a triggered > parameterized build, etc) and can't find a way to force the job to run that > last step last. > I've tried using the "Run each configuration sequentially" option, but it > appears to only force the jobs to run serially. > > Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get this desired > functionality? > > Thanks in advance, > > Adam > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Jenkins Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
