our project structure has been split. On the one hand there is the /plugins folder containing all main plugin projects. On the other hand we have a /tests folder containing all the fragment projects that are the unit tests for their corresponding main plugin projects.

Jenkins lets me check out multiple repositories, and even to the same folder in the workspace.

The problem is that the first checkout is deleted when the second URL is checked out.

/plugins is placed into the workspace directory, then the workspace directory is “cleaned”:

Cleaning local Directory .

Then the second directory /tests is checked out.

Of course I want that both folder contents are placed in the same workspace directory. How can I do that?

    Assuming you’re using Subversion to checkout your projects, you need to specify the “Local module directory” to something other than the default for each path you are checking out.

    For example;

    If you have svn://myrepo/myproject/plugins and svn://myrepo/myproject/tests, the configuration would be along the lines of;

    Modules:
Repository URL : svn://myrepo/myproject/plugins
Local module directory (optional) : plugins

Repository URL : svn://myrepo/myproject/tests
Local module directory (optional) : tests

    This would then inform Jenkins that it has two paths to checkout and into separate locations.

    If you are trying to checkout a project into the subfolder of another working copy, you may have to use svn:externals on the parent directory.
