Configuring Build Triggers

Build trigger is an event that initiates a new build. The build is put into the Build Queue and is run when there are idle agents that can run it.

For each build configuration you can configure the following triggers:

• Configuring VCS Triggers: the build is triggered when changes are detected in the version control system roots attached to the build configuration.

• Configuring Schedule Triggers: the build is triggered at a specified time.

• Finish Build trigger: the build is triggered after a build of the selected configuration is finished. If corresponding checkbox is enabled, a build is triggered only after successful build of the selected configuration.

• Configuring Dependency Triggers: the build is triggered if a specified Maven artifact has changed.

• Configuring Dependency Triggers: the build is triggered, when any of the snapshot dependencies is updated in the remote repository.

• Retry build trigger: the build is triggered if the previous build failed after specified time delay.

While creating/editing a build configuration you can configure these triggers at the Build Triggering page by clicking Add new trigger. For configuration details on each trigger, refer to corresponding sections.

tip

Note that if you create a build configuration from a template, it inherits build triggers defined in the template, and they cannot be edited or deleted. However, you can specify additional triggers.

In addition to the triggers defined for the build configuration, you can also trigger a build by an Accessing Server by HTTP, or manually by running custom build.
