Bug: Downstream job fails to update upstream pr

I have one job building PR’s and it works great, updates commit status on GitHub as expected. It also triggers the downstream job correctly, but the downstream job is not able to update the commit status of the pr that triggered the upstream job.

In the upstream job I have checked the advanced option: Display build errors on downstream builds? In the downstream job I have checked: Set GitHub commit status with custom context and message (Must configure upstream job using GHPRB trigger)

In the jenkins log I get:

INFO: downstream_job #62 main build action completed: SUCCESS

I’ve tried upgrading to version 1.31.4, but the issue is the same.

I have the exact same issue. The problem is that the various ghprb* parameters are not set on the downstream job. I added them manually in the trigger Downstream Parametrized job, and it seems to be working now.

Thanks @masterzen, it works! For anyone that stumbles upon this in the future, here are the parameters that make this work (maybe some of them are unnecessary but didn’t feel like trying subsets of this):

sha1=${sha1}
ghprbActualCommit=${ghprbActualCommit}
ghprbAuthorRepoGitUrl=${ghprbAuthorRepoGitUrl}
ghprbCredentialsId=${ghprbCredentialsId}
ghprbPullId=${ghprbPullId}
ghprbGhRepository=${ghprbGhRepository}
ghprbSourceBranch=${ghprbSourceBranch}
ghprbTargetBranch=${ghprbTargetBranch}
