Is it possible to trigger a build of a job from a Build Flow job whose
execution does not block the execution of the calling job?
If that's not clear, say I have three Jenkins jobs: flow-job, short-job,
long-job. "flow-job" is used to trigger a build of both "short-job" and
"long-job". However, as implied by their names, one job normally takes much
longer than the other. Using the build() function in the build flow DSL,
flow-job won't exit until both short-job and long-job have completed.
However, I would like for both the short and long job to be triggered by
the flow DSL, but for flow-job to only wait for short-job to complete:
long-job should be allowed continue operation after flow-job has completed.
Is there any functionality in the flow DSL that would allow this? I've put
together a system by which groovy will execute a curl command to trigger
the long running job:
def vars = "FOO=BAR&BAZ=QUX";
def trigger_url =
"http://localhost:8080/job/long-job/buildWithParameters?${vars}";;
def cmd = "curl -o trigger.log ${trigger_url}";
out.println(cmd);
def proc = cmd.execute();
proc.waitFor();
and trigger the short running job normally with build("short-job").
This feels a bit messy to me. Is there any native way within the DSL to
achieve this?
