My understanding and what I have come across is that it does not stop polling. I have a job set up that takes about 20 minutes to run and polls an SVN repository. If a change occurs, the job is triggered, and if a change occurs while the job is building, the next build will sit in the queue until the first finishes.
Are you wanting it to do this or not do this? ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Aldrich" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 10:33:58 AM Subject: Question about Jenkins polling Hi I think I understand the basics of Jenkins quite well but there is one area in which I am unsure how it will behave. I have some long regression tests, which I trigger using cron type schedules. Typically, they run once per day at 8pm. However, if no code changes have occurred that day, this is rather wasteful. So I could, instead, start the tests in response to polling the code repository. My question is, does Jenkins stop polling the repository while a job is running? Suppose my test runs for x hours and, during that time, there are y commits. After x hours has elapsed, will the test be queued once or y times?
