Jenkins : Clone Workspace SCM Plugin

Plugin Information

View Clone Workspace SCM on the plugin site for more information.

This plugin makes it possible to archive the workspace from builds of one project and reuse them as the SCM source for another project.


Usage

Publisher
  • In the configuration for a project whose workspace you want to clone and re-use in other projects, select "Archive for Clone Workspace SCM" in the list of publishers.
  • If desired, specify the files to include in the archive - by default, this will be "*/". Use Ant-style globs.
  • Specify the criteria a build needs to meet in order to be archived.
  • Run a build. If it meets the criteria, its workspace will be archived, until a new build meeting the criteria has run, at which point the old archive will be deleted.
SCM
  • In the configuration for a project which you wish to have re-use another project's workspace, select "Clone Workspace" from the list of possible SCMs.
  • Choose the parent project whose workspace you wish to re-use from the drop-down list - if no projects have the Clone Workspace Publisher enabled, the drop-down will be empty.
  • Choose the parent build criteria you wish to use.
  • Run a build - assuming the parent project has an archived workspace meeting the criteria in question, it'll be expanded and used as the workspace for this build.
  • Additionally, the changelog from the parent project build that archived workspace came from will be re-used as the changelog for this build.
