Multiple Jenkins jobs on multiple platofrms

Question

I am trying to build multiple Jenkins jobs, e.g. job1, job2 where jobs2 is downstream job1, each one needs to run on multiple platforms, e.g. Win, Mac, Unix

I need job2 on Mac to start once job1 on Mac has finished, same for others... but cannot find a simple way to do this simple thing!

I tried the Matrix configuration, parametrized trigger, extended trigger, NodeLabel, but non did the right job

This task looks simple but I could not achieve! Any help is really appreciated

Can you describe a bit of why some of the solutions you tried didn't work? — gaige
Matrix configuration did the job, but job2 will only get triggered after all job1 platforms are finished, this could be ok, but I have about 10 jobs, 6 platforms each, this could take a lot of time — user2165047
It would complete in the time of the slowest platform, because it builds all the platforms in parallel (unless you deliberately set it to serial.) — Trejkaz

Have you tried the Build Pipeline Plugin or Pipeline Plugin to help address this? You can also consider creating these pipeline dynamically depending on job dependency and then run.

Seems like a fit to me.
