I have two jobs(A and B) that I want to B is triggered by A with the git commit used by A after A is successfully built.
The build trigger plug-in supports trigger the downstream job with the git commit used in the upstream job.
My question is how the downstream job uses the passed in commit to check out. I didn't find which variable is passed by job A, and how to use the pass-in commit value to check out code in B via Git plug-in of Jenkins?
I found the solution. There is a plugin called Groovy Postbuild pluging that let you execute a Groovy script in the post build phase. Addind a simple code to the downstream jobs you can modify the upstream overall status.
This is the code you need to add:
upstreamBuilds = manager.build.getUpstreamBuilds();
upstreamJob = upstreamBuilds.keySet().iterator().next();
lastUpstreamBuild = upstreamJob.getLastBuild();
if(lastUpstreamBuild.getResult().isBetterThan(manager.build.result)) {
lastUpstreamBuild.setResult(manager.build.result);
}
You can find more info in the entry of my blog here.
Make sure you are using the correct step to execute your downstream jobs; I discovered that since I was executing mine as a "post build step", I didn't have the "Block until the triggered projects finish their builds" option. Changing that to "build task" as opposed to a "post build task", allowed me to find the options you are looking for within the Parameterized Trigger Plugin.

Jenkins Git plug-in is an intelligent tool. No specific configuration is needed. In upstream job trigger the downstream job with the Git commit used by the upstream job, downstream will automatically checkout the commit passed in by upstream.
