Is there any event that can be handled by a custom event handle so that when a user clicks the Merge Check button on the pull request web page a pre-merge sanity build can be kicked off? If the sanity build passes then the merge can proceed. Otherwise, the merge will not happen.
I had already used a custom merge check to enable/disable the Merge Check button when certain conditions happened, e.g. allowed merge only when the ToRef branch was "feature/<name>". But in the above case we will like to save Jenkins resources by starting the sanity build only when the user clicks on the Merge Check button.
Thanks.

Hi Cheuk,
I just wrote a really long answer and when I posted it this thing told me:

I can't face typing it all again, but approximately I said:
You should avoid doing this on a merge check. Merge checks should be quick and they run often.
One option might be to:
Another possible way is to add an event handler on GitMergeRequestedEvent, that, if no builds are associated with the PR, kicks one off, then calls .cancel() with a sensible error message.
If a passed build is associated with the PR it can allow the merge to proceed.
I'd be lying if I was to tell you that all this is super-easy.
