Description Andreas Sewe CLA 2013-12-13 12:31:03 EST 
Build Identifier: Hudson: 3.0.1-b2

Originally filed as Bug 423808 against our HIPP Hudson instance at Eclipse (https://hudson.eclipse.org/recommenders/):

The problem is occurs when two jobs (in our case: gerrit.master.luna and gerrit.master.kepler) both have the Gerrit Trigger plugin configured and one is a child of the other. The UI shows that the Gerrit and Git configuration is inherited completely. Nevertheless, a new change set in Gerrit only triggers the child job, not the parent job (from where the Gerrit Trigger config was inherited in the first place.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a job A
2. Configure the Gerrit Trigger plugin for A
3. Create a project B with A as cascading job
4. Do not configure the Gerrit Trigger plugin explicitly for B; let the config be inherited.
5. Push a change into Gerrit
Actual Results:  
Only job B is executed.

Expected Results:  
Both jobs A and B are executed.

Not sure whether this is a problem with just the Gerrit Trigger plugin or with the way cascading works.

Hi Andreas, Lots of cascading related changes went in Hudson 3.1.1, so need to check if this issue still exists in 3.1.1. Can you check with 3.1.1-RC1 (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/hudson/war/hudson-3.1.1-RC1.war)

Hi Winston. I am afraid I can't easily switch to a different Hudson version; both Hudson and Gerrit are maintained by the Eclipse Foundation.

I may be able to set up a local test install of Hudson in a few days, though, (currently traveling) that also builds whats in our Eclipse Gerrit. I'll report back on this, then.
