Move artifacts instead of copy after Hudson build - hudson

We are using Hudson v.2.2.1
I noticed that Hudson makes a copy of the generated artifacts instead of a move. Is there a way to run any type of script after build that could remove those artifacts?
I was thinking about creating a new task for each project, but this seems to be a little overkill to me.
Or is there a way to get information about the build that triggered the post-build?
Thanks

Fix to my issue was to install "Workspace Cleanup Plugin"

How to make GitHub Action installation as simple as possible

I'm working on a relatively simple GitHub Action that I'd like to add to the GitHub Marketplace, and I'd like to make it as simple as possible for people to install in their repositories. But, even the simple instructions provided by GitHub involve steps such as creating a workflow file, copying content into it, etc.
Is there no simpler installation process? Ideally, I'd like to find a single-step or push-button solution – something like a one-step "click this link to install this action" process. Is there such a thing?

Google Services Gradle Plugin not generating resources from json

Problem started suddenly and seems to be not related to any change that happened in code around its first occurance.
We have automated CI workflow that prepares RC.
At first every second build worked. Now I had to rebuild RC 7 times to get app that is not crashing.
After investigating it is clear that there are no config values in resources, ergo plugin is not generating values from json config file. Basically rebuilding same code many times makes it work, at some point.
We had recently changed dependency injection in app from dagger components to hilt, it might be the reason of some kind of race or shared resources during build time.
It is also problematic to work around. I've prepared resource files with all values in order to manually add them in build process instead of generating with plugin. Now, because we also use crashlytics, I cannot remove google services plugin as crashlytics is checking for google services tasks in gradle. I cannot remove unused json file as plugin will crash because of lack of config file. Plugin also (based on docs https://developers.google.com/android/guides/google-services-plugin) adds some dependencies to main module, but I wasn't able to find anything in :app:dependencies so maybe docs are outdated.
I am not able to provide any project for reproduction as it only happens in commercial project. I understand it makes the problem hard to resolve in such case but maybe other people has it also.
AGP: 7.2.0-beta02
Google Services plugin: 4.3.10
Hilt: 2.41
EDIT:
I've resolved symptoms by creating gradle module for each build type we have, and each module contains only res/values.xml which I've copied from app/build/generated/res/google-services/*. This way required keys are always available in resources, as we do not often (hardly ever) change json file with config. I am still trying to investigate builds with --scan option but I cannot reproduce it with scan, it only happens without it.

How to build ISPAC using VSTS

It appears that building ISPAC using MSBuild is near impossible. I'm hoping I can find a way to create ISPACs in the VSTS build processes, but it doesnt appear to be straight forward.
there is a VSTS task by ToxicGlobe
https://github.com/ToxicGlobe/VSTS-SSIS-Extension
However support seems minimum, and there isnt alot of traction.
how does the real world create ISPACs in a common CI process?
There isn’t such build-in task available in VSTS, but you can refer to the source code of VSTS-SSIS-Extension to custom the build/release task to meet your requirement through VSTS extension: Add a build task
I use this command:
devenv SolutionName.sln /Rebuild
In the Bin folder of the project, you are going to find the .ispac file, Remember to include the path of devenv.exe in the System Variable "Path"

Jenkins File Viewer

I'm in the process of setting up our builds on our new Jenkins CI server. One thing I've noticed, which I don't really like is that I can't see a difference in the changes.
Jenkins knows what files have been modified/deleted but I cannot see where I can see the diff of those files?
Jenkins does not calculate diffs itself, but instead lets you link to a tool that does, such as a diff on GitHub, or a ViewSVN instance etc.
For example, on Apache's Jenkins instance, you can see a "ViewSVN" link next to each change:
https://builds.apache.org/job/ActiveMQ/changes
It depends on your SCM and the tool you normally use for browsing diffs, but there should be a Jenkins plugin available for you.
If not, it should be trivial to write your own :)

"Post build event error"

I am using Visual Studio 2008 to build my projects.
I often take existing sample code and edit it and toy around with it, as I am just learning and I'd like to advance my skill.. it's nice to have a template to work with.
That being said, I often get the build error "Post build event failed". This is often accompanied by a "could not find xxx.sbr file" or something. I do not know what an sbr file is, not a "post-build event". Re-building doesn't seem to help, and clearing all the files out before tying another build does not help either.
That being said, the executable still always gets built.
I was wondering:
What is a post build event and what are the implications/causes of its failure?
What is an sbr file? I tried researching this a bit.. a "Source Browse File"? This site seemed pretty informative: http://www.ehow.com/facts_5657521_file-extension-sbr_.html
The problem is, I don't understand why the compiler would complain about not finding this (isn't it supposed to MAKE this?) and what EXACTLY it does ("enables Microsoft Visual Studio to access your source code" - can't it do this anyway?)
Thanks!

post build event is just a command you can have visual studio run after it's finished - maybe to kick off tests or build an installer.
It's in properties->build events in the menu - right click on the project.
The SBR file is used by visual studio to browse sources and lookup which function is in which file. I have had problems where somehow it's internal list of dependencies gets screwed up and it always rebuilds one of them.
Try a clean and rebuild, then try quitting visual studio and deleting the .ncb file
