Does restart job reload the build script?

Hi

I feel debug in BF is very very low efficiency, when I have to run the project again and again. Please let me know if there is anyway to debug without running the BF project. It's just too slow.

One question: most of time, when it fails in a step, I want to re-run the step after changing something. e.g. I have a master script which each BF step is just calling one of its function. When I restart a job, will BF re-load the build script?

Thanks

Hi Jirong,

I guess your script is located somewhere in the file system and referenced from the command or an env variable: yes the script will be called for the restarted step and if you have modified the script it will pick up the changes.

Note that restarting a job relaunches it with same tag and, by default, same environment variable values.

Regards,

Jorge.

If I change the command in the failed step? Will the restart job use the new command?

Yes, the restart will use the new step command.
