Jenkins Build Pipeline - Restart At Stage

Question

I have the following build pipeline set up as a job:

Stage 1 - verify all dependencies exist
Stage 2 - build the new jar
Stage 3 - Run integration tests
Stag         


        

Answer 1

A bit old topic but since Jenkins still (!) doesn't support this I'm sending another solution for scripted pipeline implementations. It's based on building stages list dynamically when running pipeline.

1. step - stages definition enum

enum Steps {
  PREPARE(0, "prepare"), 
    BUILD(1, "build"), 
    ANALYSE(2, "analyse"), 
    CHECKQG(3, "checkQG"), 
    PROVISION(4, "provision"), 
    DEPLOY(5, "deploy"), 
    ACTIVATE(6, "activate"), 
    VERIFY(7, "verify"), 
    CLEANUP(8, "cleanup")

  Steps(int id, String name) {
      this.id = id
          this.name = name
  }

  private final int id
    private final String name

  int getId() {
      id
  }

      String getName() {
      name
  }

    public static Steps getByName(String name) {
        println "getting by name " + name
        for(Steps step : Steps.values()) {
          if(step.name.equalsIgnoreCase(name)) { 
              return step 
          }
        }
        throw new IllegalArgumentException()
    }
}

2. method creating the final steps list

  def prepareStages(def startPoint){
        println "preparing build steps starting from " + startPoint
        Set steps = new LinkedHashSet()
        steps.add(Steps.PREPARE)
        steps.add(Steps.BUILD)
        steps.add(Steps.ANALYSE)
        steps.add(Steps.CHECKQG)
        steps.add(Steps.PROVISION)
        steps.add(Steps.DEPLOY)
        steps.add(Steps.ACTIVATE)
        steps.add(Steps.VERIFY)
        steps.add(Steps.CLEANUP)
        List finalSteps = new ArrayList()
        steps.each{
            step ->
                if (step.id >= startPoint.id) {
                    finalSteps.add(step)
                }
        }
        return finalSteps
    }

3. and u can use it like this

def stages = prepareStages(Steps.getByName("${startStage}"))

node {
    try {
        //pipelineTriggers([pollSCM('${settings.scmPoolInterval}')])  //this can be used in future to get rid build hooks 

        sh "echo building " + buildVersionNumber(${settings.isTagDriven})
        tool name: 'mvn_339_jenkins', type: 'maven'

        script {             
            println "running: " + stages
        }

        stage('Prepare') {
            if (stages.contains(Steps.PREPARE)) {
                script { currentStage = 'Prepare' }
               //.....
            }
        } //...

the "startStage" is a build parameter defined as follows

parameters { choiceParam('startStage', [ 'prepare', 'build', 'analyse', 'checkQG', 'provision', 'deploy', 'activate', 'verify', 'cleanup' ], 'Pick up the stage you want to start from') }

This allows me to pick up the stage I want to start the pipeline from (prepare stage is set by default)
