Hello Sriram,
Thank you for your response, I already read that thread. This is different
in tha even after pruning the flyweight it regenerated within minutes. My
materials are set to auto update so that doesn't help. My question really
is does GoCD create a new flyweight for the same material if:
1.
The same material is defined *differently* in different pipelines.
2.
Even small changes like:
-
Different material_name
-
Different branch (e.g., main vs release)
-
Different path: in Git plugin
-
Different clone settings (shallow_clone, auto_update)
-
Even different *casing* in URLs (GitHub.com vs github.com)
