Re: Upgrading to Jenkins 2.2 Breaks Build Flow Plugin DSL Editing

[AJ Ferrigno]

Thanks for the info.

I have found a workaround for now - I just moved the DSL out from the
Jenkins job itself and into a source controlled file, which is arguably
where it should have been from the beginning.

In the course of making this change, I have discovered another strangeness
regarding this plugin - the DSL textbox actually does not disappear when
the checkbox "Flow run needs a workspace" is checked. I guess that could be
another workaround, but it is not clear to me how both things could be
true. It seems mutually exclusive for one to define flow DSL from a
workspace file and also from an in-job DSL textbox. I might have to
investigate what would happen if both things were used.

I did try investigating via Chrome developer tools what would cause the
textbox to disappear, and it seems like it is due to the table's TR element
(with class "config-table-top-row") getting added an additional style of
"style=display: none" as soon as I scroll down far enough, as soon as the
flow dsl text box shows a few lines. This dom change would obviously cause
it to disappear. I don't really see what could cause that to happen, there
are no network changes happening as I scroll down that I can see, but there
are a bunch of "Process DOM-Change event"s happening. I guess one of them
could be causing the problem, but they still happen after it disappears, so
I'm not sure how to debug further.

I'll have to keep looking into this before I feel comfortable taking this
one on as a maintainer! But I'll let you know if I can.

Re: Upgrading to Jenkins 2.2 Breaks Build Flow Plugin DSL Editing

[Baptiste Mathus]

Indeed, this plugin is up for adoption now that Damien stepped down.

But, as says Nicolas who created it, this plugin is unlikely to have a lot
of traction and any real future [1] so you're likely to have to dig into
the issue yourself.
But you're very welcome to step over as a maintainer AJ. Just tell us and
we can grant you the required permissions if you wish to fix and release it.

[1] not forgetting the merit of Nicolas and this plugin, which was actually
one of the inspirations for the Pipeline plugin.

Re: Upgrading to Jenkins 2.2 Breaks Build Flow Plugin DSL Editing

[Stefan Thomasson]

It is said that jenkins 2.x should be backwards compatible so I not really sure 
why buildflow break the gui. For me it only dissapear when navigating using the 
tab, so scrolling usually works.
Right now I do not consider pipeline mature enough for use in production but 
you may be of other opinion.

Upgrading to Jenkins 2.2 Breaks Build Flow Plugin DSL Editing

[AJ Ferrigno]

Hello,

We have been using the Build Flow plugin for about a year now. We have a 
large block of DSL which we mostly needed for parallel execution.

I have just tried upgrading to Jenkins 2.2, and I am now unable to edit the 
DSL in our existing Build Flow job. I open the job, click configuration, 
scroll down to where the DSL would be, and the entire DSL just disappears 
from view. The only way I can edit the DSL is to navigate to the config.xml 
file on the master, change it there, and then reload configuration from 
disk. Obviously, this is an inconvenience.

I have tried making a brand new (blank) Build Flow job and the same issue 
happens. Once I paste in my DSL, save it, then return to the configuration 
and scroll down, the DSL box disappears.

Upgrading to Jenkins 2.6 does not fix the issue (in fact, it breaks other 
things sadly). Upgrading all my plugins does not fix the issue.

It looks like this plugin is deprecated in favor of Pipelines and may no 
longer be supported. I will need to investigate Pipelines to see how to 
move away from our DSL. However, there was a change this month to link it 
to Pipelines. Is it possible to get this problem fixed as well? I even 
volunteer myself to fixing it, although I am not a Jenkins developer and 
wouldn't know where to start debugging this thing. I'm hoping someone else 
would understand why something would disappear from the page as a result of 
the 2.2 upgrade. Maybe after having it explained, I can make the hopefully 
small code change to get it fixed.

Thanks in advance,
AJ
