Chapter 9. Skip Next Build Plugin

Introduction

The Skip Next Build plugin allows you to skip building a project for a short period of time. While you could achieve something similar by disabling the project from the project configure page, you would need to remember to re-enable the project afterwards.

There are two main use cases for this plugin:

  • If you are going to be taking some external resources that the build requires off-line for maintenance and you don’t want to be annoyed by all the build failure notices.
  • If you are merging a major feature branch and you want to prevent builds until after the merge is completed.

The Skip Next Build plugin was introduced in Nectar 11.10.
