Configure Jenkins to work with SVN branches

Question

I am currently setting up Jenkins to work with SVN repository. Currently it works fine for the trunk. Now I want to set up Jenkins to take care of newly created branches. I don't want to create a new project manually for every new branch in SVN.

• Is there already a solution which allowes to use SVN and to create jobs/tasks in Jenkins automatically for every brach created in SVN?
• How do you use Jenkins with SVN tags/branches?

Answer 1

Also check my extend answer if you are not very familiar with jenkins.

It provides a step by step solution with screenshots.

The subversion plugin is installed by default in recent versions(as for Sep 2015).

Then you should configure your project as following:

1. check "This build is parameterized"
2. choose "List subverion tags (and more)"
3. in the name field, set a varaiable name which can be referenced later in the svn url. I choose svnbranch here.
4. in the Repository URL field, give it your project URL (which needs to contain trunk, branches, and tags)
5. fill other field as your needs
6. in source code management, reference the variable defined before in your repository url.

check following screenshots:

Answer 2

The Subversion plugin should include a drop-down build parameter option. You can include your base repository and then select either the branches, tags, or trunk.
