RTC 4.0.1 integratio​n with Jenkins - how can I check to see if any changesets were accepted into the workspace?


Donald Poulin (2249119107) | asked Mar 18 '13, 10:29 a.m.

I am running an RTC -> Jenkins build every 15 minues and would like to be able to determin on the Jenkins side after the JBE steps completes whether any changesets were accepted into the workspace. Is there a property I can examine to determine if any changesets were accepted? If so I can check that property and if no changesets were accepted I can exit the Jenkins build script  wthout executing any of the acutal code build steps.

I am using a modified version of the  buildOnHudsonJenkinsAdvanced  script.

 You mean other than the return code of 2 from JBE?  Anything else would have to be regexed with scm status or something along those lines where it would be able to detect incoming changesets.

The RC=2 in the JBE output only occurs for scheduled builds, when there are no changes accepted and hence nothing to build.  If the build is being scheduled from Jenkins, then this won't apply.  


JBE's SCM participant does set a "team.scm.changesAccepted" property, but this doesn't appear in the JBE output.  You could get it by configuring the build definition to output a properties file, then parsing that, but that's admittedly tedious.

So within the "buildOnHudsonJenkinsAdvanced script" how would I check for an RC=2 and then exit the script?

Cancel that last question - I found the section "loadworkspace" where the return code(s) are evaluated.
