What does the jenkins webhook actually do?

[NicoB (Nicolas Bontoux)]

Hey @David_Karr ,

To connect the dots here, and avoid parallel threads, I feel like your observation below:

@David_Karr

I have another project that is a copy of that first project, but without a webhook url. What I noticed is that both builds are now getting past the “wait for quality” gate step, even the one that doesn’t have a webhook url.

Could be explained by our findings from this other thread:

Need a "sleep" between "withSonarQubeEnv" and "waitForQualityGate" or it spins in "IN PROGRESS"

You’re right @NicoB. If the analysis is fast enough to be completed by the time the waitForQualityGate starts, the pipeline will succeed, even with no webhook configured.

Agreed that this clarifies this thread too ?
