Overview

The build changes view shows you a summary of all SCM changes that affected a particular build. Note that change information is availailable once bootstrapping begins for any of the stages in the build. Links are provided to the changelist view which shows full details for each changelist. You can also provide a change viewer url if you wish to link revisions to an external viewer such as Fisheye.

Note that this view shows all changes since the last time the same build specification was executed. This may not necessarily be the previous build, as the project may have multiple build specifications configured.

Information Shown

The information displayed is split into two tables. The "build revisions" table shows:

• built revision: the revision that was used for this build
• previous build revision: the revision of the previous build of the same build specification (if any)
• previous successful build revision: the revision of the previous successful build of the same build specification (if any)
• previous unsuccessful build revision: the revision of the previous unsuccessful build of the same build specification (if any)

The previous successful and unsuccessful revisions are shown to help identify the changes that may have caused a change in the build state. For example, if the specification has been broken for multiple builds, you can see the revision of the last successful build. Clicking on the "changes since" link next to that revision will show all changes since the successful build.

The second table shows a summary of all changes in the build (or since the selected revision). For each change, you will see:

• revision: the revision information (often a number) for the change
• who: the SCM login of the user that submitted the change
• when: the time that the change was submitted
• comment: the first 60 characters of the comment the user made for the change

You will also see a list of up to five files involved in the change. The full list is available on the changelist view.
