Generating steps #3750

Gwanhir ·

Hello,

I'm creating a plugin that will allow us to generate steps dynamically but I have several issues.

I extends the SequentialStep and override the findChildren() function to generate the steps I want. But I have several issues with that :

  1. When I create a step using it's default constructor, I had errors with the path being null. So I added the path to the step.
  2. Then I had an error with the step not being associated with any build. So I added the build to the step and the step to the build.
  3. And now I have error where my step is not found in current build. I looked into the source code and it seams that the configuration needs to be aware of the step.

So before continuing with that, do you know if it's even doable ? If the issue is that a running build can't be changed, will I be able to create an entire configuration with all the steps in it and trigger it ? Or even launch a promotion for the current build to the newly created configuration.

Thanks.

Generating steps dynamically is not supported. How about adding child step and use repeat parameters to run it multiple times each time with different set of param?
