Windchill (PTC) RV&S plugin automatic build on file change

Using Jenkins Ask a question
1

I have the Windchill (PTC) RV&S Jenkins plugin installed on out Jenkins server and it builds the PTC project on manual request.

I expected that a file change, i.e., a file check-in in that project, to trigger an automatic build since the Change Detection mode is set by default to File Change mode, but that does not happen. Any idea why?

Thanks a lot!

I recommend that you contact the support organization at PTC. PTC Windchill and PTC Windchill RV&S are commercial products. Your organization is paying for commercial support of the product. I’m sure they will want to help you in your use of the product.

Hi Mark, thank you for your suggestion. I’ve contacted the PTC support as well and I’m waiting for some feedback from them.
The reason I submitted the question here is that I found all the info about this Windchill (PTC) RV&S Jenkins plugin on the Jenkins website. That’s why I assumed that was created and maintained by the Jenkins community.
The site indicates a contact person, Cletus D’Souza, that I believed was connected to Jenkins rather than PTC.
Cheers! :slightly_smiling_face:

It works fine when the Poll SCM option is enabled. It does detect changes (check-ins, file addition/deletion) and Jenkins triggers a build as expected. It does not detect properly the commitId of the updated files, though, it comes as null…
