[JENKINS-53738] Gerrit Trigger not triggering jobs with older Gerrit configuration (tag dynamicGerritProjects is missing).

Scenario

Start Jenkins 2.138.1 with Gerrit Trigger plugin 2.27.7, everything configured properly, NO jobs.

Import jobs from old Jenkins 1.642.1 with Gerrit Trigger plugin 2.18.3 and restart Jenkins.

Our Review- and Deploy-Jobs do not get triggered from Gerrit Trigger plugin after committing changes for review to Gerrit or after submitting such changes.

Observed

The imported old config.xml files do not have tag . After opening and saving the configuration of these jobs this tag is added and they are triggered again.

Raw content of original issue

Scenario


Start Jenkins 2.138.1 with Gerrit Trigger plugin 2.27.7, everything configured properly, NO jobs.


Import jobs from old Jenkins 1.642.1 with Gerrit Trigger plugin 2.18.3 and restart Jenkins.


Our Review- and Deploy-Jobs do not get triggered from Gerrit Trigger plugin after committing changes for review to Gerrit or after submitting such changes.


Observed


The imported old config.xml files do not have tag <dynamicGerritProjects class="empty-list"/>. After opening and saving the configuration of these jobs this tag is added and they are triggered again.


 

• environment: Jenkins 2.138.1, Gerrit Trigger 2.27.7

Start with the imported job config.xml files and the missing dynamicGerritProjects tag, comparing configurations from Gerrit Trigger 2.18.3 and 2.27.7 under the listed Jenkins versions. Reproduce the migration and triggering scenario, then verify that imported Review and Deploy jobs trigger without opening and saving their configuration.
