💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a single file name instead of a pattern.

Forgetting to include the wildcard for all folders.

The pattern **/*.jar archives all JAR files from all folders after the build.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a local or personal email address instead of the team email.

Leaving the email field empty.

The email should be sent to the development team, so [e-mail] is the correct recipient.

Fix the error in the post-build action that triggers a downstream job.

Jenkins

post {
  success {
    build job: '[1]'
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Bdeployapp

CDeploy_App

Ddeploy-app

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using lowercase or incorrect separators in job names.

Misspelling the job name.

The job name is case-sensitive and usually uses PascalCase like DeployApp.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to add a post-build action that triggers only when the build is unstable and waits for completion.

Jenkins

post {
  unstable {
    build job: '[1]', wait: [2]
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

ARunTests

Btrue

Cfalse

DDeploy

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Setting wait to false when you want to wait.

Using a job name unrelated to testing or unstable builds.

The job RunTests is triggered, and wait: true makes Jenkins wait for the job to finish.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to archive logs only if the build is successful and notify the team.

Jenkins

post {
  success {
    archiveArtifacts artifacts: '[1]'
    mail to: '[2]', subject: '[3]'
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A**/logs/*.log

[e-mail]

CBuild Success Notification

[e-mail]

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the QA team email instead of the dev team.

Incorrect artifact pattern that misses log files.

Logs matching **/logs/*.log are archived. The dev team is notified with the subject Build Success Notification.
