I Have been working on bitbucket and jenkins for android applications. I am having many branches in my repository and i want to track just my master branch in jenkins where it meets the following criteria. 1) When we push any code with name 'A' into master it should automatically trigger a build.2) when we push a code as name 'B' into the same master branch it shouldn't trigger the build. Is there a way to do it. I tried excluding branch by using :^(?!.release).*$ but it is picking all other branches too.
Can anyone help?
You can specify which branch to be built in your job like this:
If you don't want the build to occur for specific codes then you can add them in to the Excluded Regions
Go to Additional Behaviors under Git in your job configuration and select Polling ignores commits in certain pathsand add the paths to the files for those you want to ignore builds if any changes happen to them:
This should work!

I have previously use Jenkins and BitBucket on premises and been able to have Jenkins notify bitbucket of the build condition of each individual branch (success, failed, in progress) however since I moved to bitbucket cloud it has started applying the condition of every build on every branch to every branch. For example if I have just a master and develop branch (to keep it simple) and the master branch failed because of some deployment configuration I am unable to merge a fix into it from develop even if develop is passing because it claims 1 of my 2 builds is failing on the develop branch.
This is tough to explain clearly in words so I've attached some pictures:
Two branches one build failing but both being marked as failed
Showing that develop branch is passing
Proof it wont let me merge
These notifications come from jenkins and have been set up using the standard cloudbees-bitbucket-branch-source:2.9.7 plugin to scan my bit bucket cloud.
Okay so this was a really obvious mistake but I thought I would leave the reason why this happened here in case any one makes the same mistake. cloudbees-bitbucket-branch-source:2.9.7 notifies bitbucket using the commit ID, when creating the branch structure for the repository I branched off main to make develop and both got built but both had the same commit ID and so both were notified of both builds. The problem fixes it's self on the first cycle of code to run through it.
I have a project which has multiple jenkins files and a jenkins with the bitbucket team plugin. The whole point is to separate staging from release.
When I push on bitbucket a change on a branch that both jobs monitor ( lets say master ) then both jobs will trigger as expected. I would like to disable this trigger on one of the jobs and force it to be manual only (lets say on job A which is the release. The jenkinsfile defined the release process but should be run only manually ) .
so far in the team configuration I cannot stop the trigger but neither in a jenkinsfile I can set a property ( this#ignorePostCommitHooks ) and make it work. ( I do setup it. But it does nothing ). Is there a way to configure the job triggering?
Also a side question, Jenkins offers this option
But even after setting it when I save the configurations and jenkins starts looking in the repository for matching projects / branches it will start building any branch it finds. Is there a way for this option to actually work?
Thank you in advance.
Wrapping it into an all match make it work.
I have a multibranch project in jenkins, and every time I press Scan Repository Now it queue a new build just because
‘Jenkinsfile’ found
Met criteria
What I'd like to do is whenever I scan the repository, it only add Pull Request to the project without triggering a build. And also, if I turn on scan repository trigger, periodically if not otherwise run, every time it branch indexing, it also build the pull request even after I turn on Skip initial build on first branch indexing.
What I'd like to do is whenever there's a comment 'build' in the pull request, then it builds the branch, so if the pr doesn't contain the comment, it should not build anything.
How can I achieve this?
This is my setup
I use Jenkins 2.180
According to the pipeline documentation there should be a option do dissable Index Triggers on Multibranch types, see https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#options
But i didn't find the option itself either, so i deactivated it per Pipeline definition in the Jenkinsfile of every branch :/
overrideIndexTriggers
Allows overriding default treatment of branch indexing triggers. If branch indexing triggers are disabled at the multibranch or
organization label, options { overrideIndexTriggers(true) } will
enable them for this job only. Otherwise, options {
overrideIndexTriggers(false) } will disable branch indexing triggers
for this job only.
I also use SCM webhooks to autmatically trigger the branch indexing etc
The default for Build Strategies is to OR the list together. You'll need to remove the existing build strategies and add an "All Strategies Match" build strategy and add "Change Requests" and "Skip Initial Build on First Branch Indexing" to that.

We have Jenkins set up with 7 multibranch pipeline projects, each building off the same git repo, but for different target platforms. Each of these multibranch pipelines builds a number of branches. We currently set which branches each multibranch pipeline builds by using the following property in the multibranch project configuration:
Branch Sources -> Git -> Behaviors -> Filter by name (with wildcards)
Currently, each multibranch pipeline has the same string of branches in this Filter by name (with wildcards) field. Each time we want Jenkins to start building a new branch, we go through all 7 multibranch project configurations and update this field to include the new branch.
It's a bit of a pain to go through each configuration and change this field every time, since we always want each configuration to have the same list of branches. Is it possible to simply use some type of a variable in this field? This way we only would need to change one location instead of trying to keep 7 different configurations in sync with each other, which is prone to error and also a bit of a pain.
Thanks for your help!

Rather than filtering with wildcards, you could try filtering branches with regular expression. In our case, pattern like:
(master|develop|release.*|feature.*|bugfix.*)
has been working well to cover the repository. That is, assuming that you follow Git Flow or similar methodology. Unfortunately, there is no simple way to sync the configuration between MultiBranch Pipelines build from one repository. Neither Multibranch Pipeline, nor Organization plugins are designed to work with Multiple Jenkinsfiles.
Also, you can try to sync only the branch configuration between Projects using Jenkins script console. Most of the Job configuration does not have to be set on Project level. For instance, you can create shared script (or shared library) to would be sourced by other jobs, to set the same job properties on each of them. See How do you load a groovy file and execute it for details.
if you want to use the wildcard you can provide like below:
In this example it will discover only qa and dev branch.
NOTE: You have to use "Discover branches" also with "filter by name (with wildcards)" behaviour.
I have multi-configuration project in Jenkins. My git repository have different branches. For example:
dev
stage
bug/code1
feature/code2
etc...
I want to create different Post build tasks, Publish HTML reports etc for each branch.
What is the problem? I changed configuration for stage branch. All works fine only before Branch Indexing. After this process, custom configuration for each branch replaced by multi-configuration project. It means if I added specific task only for stage branch, after Branch Indexing task will be removed.
Multi-Branch Project Plugin says this:
Sub-projects appear to be configurable, but they will be overwritten
by branch indexing if you manually modify them. There is no clear way
to remove or hide the configuration option on sub-projects (except
maybe with project-based matrix authorization??), though version 0.1.x
of this plugin accomplished that via some trickery that is not
possible in newer versions.
So my question is: How I can create custom configuration for each branch? Or what is the best solution for this? Maybe I should create different projects for stage, dev branches?
Thank you.
We have the similar situation like you, more than 10 branches need to be maintained. Instead of using multi branch plugin, we use job dsl to create the jobs for each branch.
For example, hello_branch1, hello_branch2....
Inside our job dsl project, we save the different json config for the different branches. In your case, you can think we save the post build script, or report to be published....
This will make sure the generated jobs are standalone and will not affect each other.
