I have gitlab with commit hook to Jenkins. The hook is triggered on any commit in any branch. Jenkins has three branches to build.
And I have a problem. If I create any other branch and push it, the hook will trigger the Jenkins and Jenkins will build a branch (master, develop or hotfix) with the newest commit. How can I forbid the build for all other branches except the specified three? I know about when, I need to cancel the build, not just one stage
I found an item in the submenu that is responsible for which branches are used to activate the build.

I have a multibranch job that scans branches and create a pipeline from Jenkinsfile in the branch.
I want a build in the branch to trigger automatically upon a commit being merged into that branch.
i looked at the trigger documenation. it says
"The triggers currently available are cron, pollSCM and upstream."
i think both cron and pollSCM will trigger even if there is no new commit and they are time based so it wouldnt be upon when a commit is merged
If you are using Git/Bibtbucket for your repository you could use the build trigger, based on webhook connection between your Git/Bitbucket repo and Jenkins instance (In the settings of the repo -> Webhooks and there -> new hook with this URL -> http://Jeknins-url/bitbucket-hook/ ) and this will allow the Jenkins to build whenever a push to that project is made. It will run only the job for the branch which got the push command and the merging to a branch is considered as a push, so i assume this will resolve your problem.
As testing team, I wish to only run my Test when Developer is merged their code to Master. However, in Jenkins, my job is triggered everytime Developers push in their code no matter on Branches or Master.
I am using the Build after other projects are built as Build Triggers, and I cant see any option for me to filter the branch like what in TeamCity.
Can anyone help?
I have two jenkins freestyle project which have same scm git url. I configure both project to build by trigger github push. if i push to repository, both of them automatically build running. how can i configure only one of them to run build.
For the Jenkins project/job which you want to skip , try enabling under Source Code Management setting in jenkins config:
"Don't trigger a build on commit notifications".
When this plugin searches for all projects to build upon a commit from Gitlab, it skips projects with this switch turned on.
I have a pipeline project added to Jenkins. I would like to tell Jenkins to build a specific commit in this project by using a REST query.
The project is configured as Jenkinsfile pipeline project. I would like Jenkins to get the Jenkinsfile from this specific commit I've selected, and then the pipeline script would checkout the code and perform the build.
My problem is that I can't force Jenkins to take Jenkinsfile from my selected commit. I can configure it so it'll get Jenkinsfile from master or any other branch, but I don't know how to parametrize the place where I want Jenkins to take Jenkinsfile from.
I.e. when building commit foo, I want Jenkins to checkout the repository I've provided, switch to commit foo and use Jenkinsfile from this commit. Next build job would want to use Jenkins to build commit bar; in such case Jenkins would clone the repo, switch to the bar commit, and start the Jenkinsfile from the bar commit.
Is this action supported by Jenkins?
Duck debugging in action.
My problem was resolved by making sure the "lightweight checkout" in the Git repository settings pane was un-checked. A bug in Jenkins?
I am not sure if I am asking the question in right way.
When I am triggering the multi branch pipeline job and I do "checkout scm" in Jenkinsfile, does it checkout the pull request or Master + pull request?
It depends of your settings.
As I remember, multibranch pipeline builds pull requests in separated view and it can build as PR source branch and result of PR. It cloned your repo, checkouts target branch, merges source branch into it and runs your stages.
If you look at the logs you will see that it checks out the hash of the commit
example: git checkout 1fb651dfdcbea276627de0247bbf5047840cae4c
As for workspace, if you log in to the Jenkins machine where this is running you will see that each branch has a separated workspace. Here you will find the source code of the checked out branch. The separated workspace ensures that there is no conflict when working with multiple concurrent branch builds.
