triggers - Jenkins schedule multiple versions of the same build -

i have project has 3-5 different mercurial branches going @ times. want schedule weekly jenkins test run our tests on relevant branches.

what want, think, parameterized build, branch name parameter, , have list of branches, , 1 time week, run parameterized build each of parameters in list.

however, see can't send parameters triggered build. assume there plugin this. job generator right plugin? there better?

i should mention currently, doing multiple scms, , having body of build have sh loop runs through each directory , runs tests. inefficient, , pain maintain...

i can suggest 1 solution couldn't called elegant.

firstly, need create multi-configuration project (aka matrix project).

in project need declare 1 node (it can existed master node) , 1 type of axis (for illustration branch - careful don't utilize jenkins set environment variables variables) values corresponding each branch (for illustration default, testing, devel, etc).

after need add together in project build action in need check environment variable (previously declared $branch) , find branch build launched (the main thought illustrated illustration using bash).

and need manually sources corresponding branch.

next build steps can same branches.

this approach have set of drawbacks: 1. can not triggered project changes in repository (you can check using mercurial plugin 1 branch). 2. subprojects rebuilt if have not changed. 3. appropriate statically defined branches. 4. not elegant.

but has 1 advantage versus parameterized build: 1. artifacts (and build logs) of branches stored in separated directories (because separate subprojects).
