I would love to see a situation where we could predefine a matrix and then toggle different products on or off. For example, we have: Models A, B, C, D
Builds Debug, Release Normally this would be A Debug
A Release
B Debug
B Release And so on, and so on. In our case, where we have about 90 different models, it would be extremely useful to be able to configure, via a GUI of some kind, which of those intersections we want, rather than rebuilding the entire set for a configuration option which only affects one or two models. At this point, the only option available to us is the Jenkins Matrix Build Plugin, which is awful in a few fairly frustrating ways, but is also the only thing that does what we want. Examples: configuring an SCM in a matrix build job results in one svn checkout for the matrix build job and one checkout each for the cartesian product, and then, since we have a separate child job for doing builds, one checkout each for the child jobs. We don't want the matrix job to do any checkout, but if you configure it with a Git or SVN URL then it will do it regardless. |
