Plugin Information

Plugin ID clone-workspace-scm
Latest Release 0.5-h-1
Latest Release Date Feb 8, 2013
Sources Github
Support Eclipse Hudson Forum
Issue Tracking Eclipse Bugzilla

This plugin makes it possible to archive the workspace from builds of one project and reuse them as the SCM source for another project.

Note: source for this plugin is not in the Hudson Subversion repository. It can be found at Github.

Requires Hudson 1.350 or later.
This plugin depends on minor modifications to Hudson core, which were introduced in Hudson 1.350. It will not work with earlier versions of Hudson.

Usage

Publisher
  • In the configuration for a project whose workspace you want to clone and re-use in other projects, select "Archive for Clone Workspace SCM" in the list of publishers.
  • If desired, specify the files to include in the archive - by default, this will be "*/". Use Ant-style globs.
  • Specify the criteria a build needs to meet in order to be archived.
  • Run a build. If it meets the criteria, its workspace will be archived, until a new build meeting the criteria has run, at which point the old archive will be deleted.
SCM
  • In the configuration for a project which you wish to have re-use another project's workspace, select "Clone Workspace" from the list of possible SCMs.
  • Choose the parent project whose workspace you wish to re-use from the drop-down list - if no projects have the Clone Workspace Publisher enabled, the drop-down will be empty.
  • Choose the parent build criteria you wish to use.
  • Run a build - assuming the parent project has an archived workspace meeting the criteria in question, it'll be expanded and used as the workspace for this build.
  • Additionally, the changelog from the parent project build that archived workspace came from will be re-used as the changelog for this build.

Changelog

Version 0.2 (also March 14, 2010)
  • Clarifying display name text for CloneWorkspacePublisher
Version 0.1 (March 14, 2010)
  • Initial release.

    Has this plugin been tested with Master/Slave setups? I ask because my jobs seem to work as long as both the upstream (publishing) and downstream (SCM) job run on my master... but the downstream jobs seem to hang while unpacking the archived files:

    UPDATE

    I have done some more digging and am starting to think it may have something to do with the size of the files being archived in the workspace - perhaps with how the files are streamed/buffered when being unzipped on the slave? See my additional comments at on the related Issue: http://issues.hudson-ci.org/browse/HUDSON-6817

    Hello,

    It seems that this plugin fails when the workspace is too big.

    I have tested it with a small workspace and it works fine, but in real life my workspace contains more than 20 000 files and I have this error:
