Actually, Jenkins build environment I use does distributed builds (I do not manage this). I have a feeling that agent setup is rather static. Projects I need to build have native dependencies, which can change a lot. There are many projects, they share build cluster and there dependencies can be often in conflict.
Can I do something like: * setup an agent with desired OS and basic setup (libraries) * project X build gets triggered * project is assigned to the agent * pre-build step is executed, which takes from workspace file list of libraries specific to project X and install them * maven build is executed -> everything is green * cleanup * ... * project Y build gets triggered * by chance, it is assigned to the same agent * there is no trace of any library installed by project X * pre-build step installs libraries specific to project Y * ... etc On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 11:33 PM, Brent Atkinson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jozo, > > Yes, I was using the less incendiary term for the distributed build agents > (or slaves), so you found the right docs. > > "Container" was referring to something like, but not necessarily Docker > containers. > > When you use agents, you are typically do it to: > > * unload the load from the build master > * need to build on different operating system or architecture from the > master > * need to build in an isolated or preconfigured environment different > from the master > > That last one would seem to align with your question, unless there's a > reason you didn't want to use distributed builds. > > Hope that helps, > > Brent > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the > Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this topic, visit > https://groups.google.com/d/topic/jenkinsci-users/ZISjWJ48VNY/unsubscribe. > To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to > [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/jenkinsci-users/CALyHw0GGSvDR29di81zROJn3A6d5G7vtK4mF7gZ7CWEwS%3D5GFw%40mail.gmail.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/jenkinsci-users/CALyHw0GGSvDR29di81zROJn3A6d5G7vtK4mF7gZ7CWEwS%3D5GFw%40mail.gmail.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
