jenkins ignores "inclusive regions"

Question

I have two jenkins projects

1) one that polls over git repo

2) second that triggers java application

I want to configure (1) to poll on a specific file only, so i did it under "inclusive regions". However, i see the project is triggered after every change in the repo, not only when the specific file is changed.

Has anyone experienced the same?

Other work around?

Answer 1

Following the question "Jenkins Git plugin included regions not working", make sure that:

• your "included region" is a path relative to the root folder of your Git repo.

  a/b/c...bal/sdk.conf
  

• "Force polling using workspace" under "Source-Code-Management - Additional Behaviours"

Note: there are still open bugs relative to "included regions":

• "JENKINS-28032: Included Regions do not work when monitoring all branches"

Make sure you are not monitoring all branches.
