Hi, I'm trying to create a new set of pipeline builds for a number of modules. The modules are built with gradle and have dependencies between themselves. I'd like to leverage the fingerprinting feature in Jenkins to obtain upstream and downstream relationship created automatically, but I'm not clear about how it woud exactly work. My issue is with the fingerprint function not indicating to Jenkins if an artifact is an actual dependency or a product the build.
For example, in a simple case: Build 1 builds artifact A using two external dependencies X and Y. So, build 1 fingerprints A, X and Y. Build 2 builds artifact B using A, and it transitively dependends on X and Y. I understand that by fingerprinting A, B, X and Y Jenkins will set this as a downstream build of build 1. Build 3 builds an artifact C totally unrelated to builds 1 and 2, but it still depends on X and Y. But, since X and Y have been fingerprinted in builds 1 and 2, won't Jenkins record this as a downstream job of both build 1 and 2? Or am I missing something here? I expected there would be a way to tell to Jenkins that artifacts X and Y have not been created by build 1 and 2, but the fingerprint function doesn't seem to be accepting any option. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
