Trigger builds on tag discovery

Description

Hey folks,

We started using this plugin extensively, (had some issues with creating multibranch organization scanners that discover tags by default, via configuration as code), but it seems there is no way for the discovered tags to be built automatically.

I was searching related issues here, but only found comments explaining that it is not currently implemented.

Could I request this feature to be added? I was trying to implement this feature myself and create a pull request, but I got lost in the code and don’t know what should be added that triggers the build. (Didn’t really work with Jenkins and its ecosystem before.)

Thanks in advance!

So, I gave it another shot and finally managed to make it work. After installing basic-branch-build-strategies plugin, a new section is available in the Team/Project job config. You have to add all 3 strategies:

• Change requests
• Regular branches
• Tags

I’m not sure what happened yesterday, but I might have been playing with plugins too much. This time I tried with a fresh jenkins install and everything worked as expected.

Looks like that plugin will not work as intended.

For the tags not to be discovered or to be skipped in the first place the “Discover Tags” behavior of the Github Branch Source plugin needs to be extended or an extra plugin developed that adds a tag filter behavior.
