Jenkins SVN post-commit hook not triggering for job set on a subdirectory

Question

I have two Jobs in Jenkins, one which has a working copy of "subversion/repos/mainframe" and another that has a working copy of "subversion/repos/mainframe/subdir".

I then created a hook on the mainframe repository to call Jenkins on any commit. This hook has been triggering my first Job without a Problem. But the second Job doesn't get triggered at all. The only difference is that the second Job is set to a subdirectory inside the repository and i'd like to keep it that way. Even when i commit a file inside "subversion/repos/mainframe/subdir" the second Job doesn't get polled, only the first.

How can i trigger the second Job with a post-commit hook?

post-commit.cmd in hooks:

\...\post-commit.exe %1 %2

post-commit.exe (cleaned up):

' read Parameters
sArchive = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(1)
sRevision = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(2)

' get UUID
Dim process As New Process()
process.StartInfo.FileName = "svnlook.exe"
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "uuid " + sArchive
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
process.Start()

Dim reader As StreamReader = process.StandardOutput
UUID = reader.ReadLine()
wrGETURL = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(jenkinsTESTURL + UUID.Trim() + "/notifyCommit?rev=" + sRevision)
wrGETURL.Method = "POST"
Dim postData As String = "`svnlook changed --revision " + sRevision + " " + sArchive + "`"
Dim byteArray As Byte() = Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData)
wrGETURL.ContentType = "text/plain;charset=UTF-8"
wrGETURL.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
Dim dataStream As Stream = wrGETURL.GetRequestStream()
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
dataStream.Close()

Jenkins Log (only the first Job gets triggered):

Edit:

Simply changing the second Job to point to "subversion/repos/mainframe/" works. Then the trigger calls both Jobs. It's just not a workable solution because then it gets called way too many times for commits that shouldn't affect the Job.

The post-commit triggers a poll on jobs involving the repo, did you double check poll scm is enabled on the subdirectory job? Did it do a poll and not see a change? — Dominik Gebhart
Is there a menu entry to see the result of the most recent poll? Does it correspond to the time of your commit? — Dominik Gebhart
I've added the log, there's an error "No subversion consumers" although it does trigger the first Job correctly. — drouning

It's not a problem to fire off a job for a sub directory. My guess is that your hook code isn't setup to handle the sub directory. We need to see your post-commit hook code to assess further, though.
