Re: Query about running different job steps on different slaves
This SEEMS to be a pretty cool component, allowing for some features that I've been dying to have in Jenkins. Unfortunately, I'm encountering a number of errors as I try to use the plugin. I'll send those along directly rather than clutter up the group. Also - I would strongly recommend publishing this component like other Jenkins components. It would be a great component to have if it works like it seems to work.

Re: Query about running different job steps on different slaves
I would LOVE to see a plugin like this. If you could send me github information after you make it available, I would be very grateful!

Re: Query about running different job steps on different slaves
As far as I know, there is no plugin that lets you run individual build steps on a different slave than the one that job originally started on. But there ways to mimic this behavior. We do something like this in our own tests. One job starts up; it has a parameter that indicates another slave on which to run parts of the test. The original job (we call it the master job), then uses the Parameterized Trigger Plugin's build step plus the NodeLabel Plugin parameter to start another job (called a slave job) on the slave in question. The ParamTrig build step can be set to wait until the slave job is finished running - that gives us sequential behavior: steps run on the master, then on the slave, then on the master. Sometimes, we have to have steps running in parallel on the master and slave. In that case, the ParamTrig build step can also start the job on the slave then immediately return to its own steps. Synching the two executions can be difficult and tricky On Wednesday, November 21, 2012 6:18:29 AM UTC-8, alok kumar wrote: Hi, Can anyone let me know if it is possible to execute different build steps on different slaves from within a single job?
