Using Jenkins Ask a question

Hi I’m using Jenkins 2.263.4 with ghprb 1.42.1 and I’m trying to get the Pull Request Builder to run tests against forked branches, unfortunately, it looks like it fails because it doesn’t check out the upstream it just looks for the commit in the current repository. Has anyone done got this working ?

Hi Martin. I can’t comment on GHPRB specifically, but there’s a note at the top of its plugin page that indicates that " [y]ou should probably migrate to GitHub Branch Source Plugin" (link corrected, since the link in the plugin page is incorrect). We’re using the GitHub Branch Source plugin to build many PRs a day on our GitHub Enterprise instance and it works fantastically. Maybe this would be a better option?
