如何使用Jenkins Build Keeper插件

Question

I would like to use the Jenkins 'Build Keeper Plugin' but I don't know how. The plugin site doesn't describe how to use it. Plugin Site

On this page I found the extension points which I would like to use, eg the org.jenkins_ci.plugins.build_keeper.KeepFirstFailedPolicy

But in the configuration part of my project, I can't find any place to configure it to use that policy. So where do I have to add it?

Jenkins version is 1.544

Answer 1

Have you tried to open Job configuration page and look for settings ?

For example it is another plugin but it is very similar : Build Discard plugin, may be you will use it for your purposes:

Build discard old build settings

Answer 2

You can configure it in the job under the section Build Environment.

For screenshots see also https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-25293

Answer 3

If used from within a pipeline, it is enough to write 'currentBuild.rawBuild.keepLog(true)'

That is unfortunately not an interface to the plugin, just a jobs setting, but can solve it when You want to keep all builds, or decide within the build if to keep it.
