Multiple Materials

In some cases, you might need to use multiple source control repositories for a single pipeline. For example, you might have your source code in subversion and your deployment scripts in a mercurial repository. If either your source code or your deployment scripts change, Go will run a build.

When using multiple <materials>, each material must have a unique "dest" folder specified for the agent to check the source into.

Example usage

Assuming the source code is stored in the subversion repo at http://svn-server.local/ and the deployment scripts are stored in the mercurial repo at http://hg-server.local/

  • Follow the Quick pipeline setup instructions, using the subversion repository url as your SCM details.
  • Your pipeline should now be set up with one material. We want to now add another.
  • Navigate to the Admin section
  • Select your pipeline from the pipeline list.
  • Click "Edit This Pipeline"
  • Update the materials section to include the Mercurial (Hg) repo: 
    <pipeline name="deploy">
    <materials>
        <svn url="http://svn-server.local/" dest="code" />
        <hg url="http://hg-server.local/" dest="deploy-scripts" />
    </materials>
    ...
</pipeline>
  • Click "Save"
