getConfigContext

public abstract ItemGroup getConfigContext(ItemGroup itemGroup)

Optionally provides the ItemGroup from which configuration files should be retrieved for the provided one.

Examples of expected usage:

In promoted-builds-plugin, the itemGroup used as context for a promotion run is a hudson.plugins.promoted_builds.JobPropertyImpl which is not supported by the configuration file retrieval logic in ConfigFiles.getByIdOrNull(ItemGroup, String).

However, as the hudson.plugins.promoted_builds.JobPropertyImpl has an owner property containing the promoted build, it is possible for the promoted-builds-plugin to implement this extension by returning the owner's parent when the itemGroup provided to the getConfigContext(ItemGroup) method is an instance of hudson.plugins.promoted_builds.JobPropertyImpl, and null if it is of any other type.

This will allow for the configuration file retrieval code to revert to the standard logic from the owner's parent starting point.

Parameters:

itemGroup - the source ItemGroup

Returns:

an ItemGroup to use to retrieve configuration, or null.
