Publish2 Plugin Ordering/Hierarchy

rthompson · June 4, 2020, 11:40am

Hello all.

This might be a dumb question, but is there any way to control the order of the plugins in the tk-multi-publish2 app?

I know that the plugins execute in the order they are displayed, and I need the plugins to run in a specific order so that processes complete correctly, but I don’t know how to make it do that…

Any suggestions?

I would need to double check, but I think the order is as described in the publish app settings in the environment ymls, ie the plugin set first in the list gets executed first.
