Pre-notify before build starts about stashnotifier-plugin HOT 7 OPEN

The general question for pre-build state is that what to do with job state if it was cancelled. No one status represent this situation. Currently I see no option to unmark the state.

Canceling the build from the queue is not much different from aborting the build during the first second. The build has not completed, and will not complete, but the code under test is not to blame.

Abort marks the build as FAILED, and so should the cancel. That's not optimal, obviously, but far better than reporting SUCCESS (which could allow merging untested code) or INPROGRESS (which could make the user wait for the results instead of taking action).

We could ask Atlassian to add more codes in the future versions.

In the meantime, maybe the detailed status could be added to the message, e.g. cancelled by Jenkins @ http://jenkins/ or aborted by Jenkins @ http://jenkins/

For matrix builds that report results from the child jobs only, nothing needs to be reported on cancel.

Current Stash API knows only three statuses

"state": "<INPROGRESS|SUCCESSFUL|FAILED>",

As the build step there is nothing to do with these ones as they triggered only at the time the job actually starts.

The internet says that BuildWrapper could be implemented, but this a kind of research for me.

Yeah, I want to set state=inprogress over at stash when the job call is received as jenkins not when job actually starts building. This way when there's a long queue, stash will show that the build has "started" (effectively been queued up to run).

This is actually a bug; once a job is in a queue, it should be marked as pending in Stash.

There is an option to use BuildWrapper (I'm not sure I understand well what the class does though) or to use QueueListener. Either case, this will require quite extensive decomposition of StashNotifier class.

It might be also interesting to go completely in the way of Listeners (i.e. use BuildStepListener instead of Notifier) and rewrite the plugin completely.

Decomposition is an option. I hope I'll get this and start 2.0 branch sometimes

Until we have a decision - pre-build notifying is not an option

I've created a request to add options including QUEUED to the BuildState enum: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV-13304
