Question

How do I trigger another job from hudson as a pre-build step?

Answer 1

I have the same issue and I found a way to do:

I am using jenkins version jenkins-1.452-1.1.

Say I have job A and B, and Job A is depending on job B. When building job B, I want A triggered automatically, and B is blocked until A build successfully.

When define build configuration in build section, I add 'trigger build on other projects'. then fill the form.
