hi all,
I want to thank Jenkins community for a this excellent tool.
To make my work even easier I would very much like to be able to do
regression testing on my build flow scripts. See [1] for motivation. If
anybody have solved this already I would very much like to know the
solution.
My suggestion to solve this is to read the build flow definition from file
and not directly from a job definition. File path should be passed in as a
parameter. Inspired by [2] and [3] my first try was:
String fileContents = new File('/tmp/flow.txt').text
println fileContents
buildClosures = []
curClosure = { fileContents }
buildClosures.add(curClosure)
parallel(buildClosures)
Output:
Started by user anonymous <http://localhost:8080/user/null>
build("pass")
parallel {
}
Finished: SUCCESS
I admit I did not doubted this would work but I had to try. If anybody
have an idea on how to do this inside a build flow definition or from a
groovy script.
I am expect an answer to this in the build flow plugin code but my
java/groovy knowledge is limited. A pointer where the reading of the build
job definition is done would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Asmund

Motivation:
My 100+ jobs are with many dependencies are getting easy to mess up under
reconfiguration, mostly checkin regression jobs. I have most of my jobs in
freestyle configurations and the dependencies handled by the Build flow
plugin. The freestyle jobs are mostly just executing a script, and is
therefore easy to checkin regression on. But the build flow scripts the
issue I now have.
