Hi, I am migrating a home-grown build system to Jenkins. The home-grown build system executes a very large milestone build that can run for a day or more (depending on whether there are errors that occur).
I have been using the Build Flow Plugin and it is nearly a perfect fit to replace the home-grown build system. However, our home-grown build system has a "step restart" feature that some of our staff members say they can't live without. The "step restart" feature allows our build team to selectively re-run steps that failed in a previous build within the context of that previous build. When all of the build steps have successfully completed, then the build is finished. My original "design" in Jenkins was to allow them to execute the build multiple times and selectively run the steps that failed. But, since our build team has been using the "step restart" feature for a long time, they are saying that switching to Jenkins is a huge step backwards. I assume that there is no way to modify a job in Jenkins that had run previously; so, I think I am going to have to tell our build team to "tough it out, you are not going to get the step restart feature". Can anyone think of a way in Jenkins to simulate the "step restart" feature that our current home-grown system supports? If there was a way to correlate multiple jobs in a build history, that would probably be "good enough". Thanks for taking the time to read this.
