如何避免Jenkins在构建另一个分支时认为该构建是固定的？

Question

We use the git plugin to build all the branches of our repo ( Branch specifier is ** ).

The problem is if branch A breaks, we get notified by email.

However, if someone pushed to branch B and it builds correctly, then we get a second email telling use "Build back to normal".

But the branch A is still broken, yet we think all is good.

Is there a way to make the "email notifier" (and Jenkins) understand that the build is still broken for a branch?

Or is there another approach to build all branches , even new ones, automatically?

Answer 1

You should create a build per branch.

First, you should setup a sync job that creates the jobs automatically if a new branch is created. You will want to use these scripts/plugins: http://entagen.github.io/jenkins-build-per-branch/

Then you will receive notifications per branch instead of the entire repository. We do this for our project and it works great. We went a little further and spin up staging environments per branch as well.
