Jenkins – Marking upstream Jenkins/Hudson as failed if downstream job fails

continuous integrationhudsonhudson-pluginsJenkins

I am using Parameterized Trigger Plugin to trigger a downstream build.

How do I specify that my upstream job should fail if the downstream fails? The upstream job is actually is dummy job with parameters being passed to the downstream.

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/Hudson upstream job does not get the status “ball” color of the downstream jobs

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.

Jenkins – How downstream job uses the git commit that is passed by upstream job

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.
