I’m using Multibranch pipeline for building devs branches. I’m using JobDSL for configuring this pipeline together with JCasC reload feature (https://github.com/jenkinsci/configuration-as-code-plugin/blob/04d018ef0a6da25f59d0910cc671bf2c015a1f23/docs/features/configurationReload.md - POST option) to manage my Jenkins instance.
The problem is every time when I execute a configuration reload this forces Jenkins to “Branch Indexing” which for unknown reason triggers rebuild for all branches. Whole rebuild takes a lot of time and makes Jenkins reconfiguration procedure nightmare.
This is a part of the log for “Branch Indexing” event which causes this massive rebuild. Unfortunately, I do not know what and why Jenkins lose track of previous source:
Takeover for [pipeline » branch-3549](https://jenkins:8443/job/pipeline/job/branch-3549/) by source #1 from source that no longer exists Branch reopened: branch-3549 (eedac86891fb53ce6e6bf89c09583c00eb1490e1) Scheduled build for branch: branch-3549
I fully understand that when Jenkins loose “branch source” then it needs to rebuild all, but why “branch source” disappear in the first place? What to change to avoid these massive rebuilds?
This is my JobDSL configuration of the pipeline.
