When you are using a free style project you can set that after 20 minutes the build is aborted if not concluded. How is this possible with a Jenkins Multi Branch Pipeline Project? StephenKing You can use the timeout step: timeout(20) { node { sh 'foo' } } If you need a different TimeUnit than MINUTES , you can supply the unit argument: timeout(time: 20, unit: 'SECONDS') { EDIT Aug 2018: Nowadays with the more common declarative pipelines (easily recognized by the top-level pipeline construct), timeouts can also be specified using options on different levels (per overall pipeline or per stage):

I need to launch a dynamic set of tests in a declarative pipeline. For better visualization purposes, I'd like to create a stage for each test. Is there a way to do so? The only way to create a stage I know is: stage('foo') { ... } I've seen this example , but I it does not use declarative syntax. david.perez Use the scripted syntax that allows more flexibility than the declarative syntax, even though the declarative is more documented and recommended. For example stages can be created in a loop: def tests = params.Tests.split(',') for (int i = 0; i < tests.length; i++) { stage("Test ${tests[i

I have a Jenkins pipeline which has multiple stages, for example: node("nodename") { stage("Checkout") { git .... } stage("Check Preconditions") { ... if(!continueBuild) { // What do I put here? currentBuild.xxx ? } } stage("Do a lot of work") { .... } } I want to be able to cancel (not fail) the build if certain preconditions are not met and there is no actual work to be done. How can I do this? I know the currentBuild variable is available, but I can't find the documentation for it. You can mark the build as ABORTED, and then use the error step to cause the build to stop: if (!continueBuild)

I've created a pipeline and using the embedded groovy pipeline script definition and can't seem to get the version ID of the project from the POM. I tried this which works in a groovy console but on in the Jenkins build pipeline script: def project = new XmlSlurper().parse(new File("pom.xml")) def pomv = project.version.toString() According to the documentation Jenkins has a $POM_VERSION but the value doesn't have anything in it when I assign it to a variable and echo it out. def pomv = "$POM_VERSION" OR def pomv = '$POM_VERSION" Use readMavenPom like this: pom = readMavenPom file: 'pom.xml'

I want not to allow two jobs of the same type (same repository) not to run in parallel on the same node. How can I do this using groovy inside Jenkinsfile? hypery2k You got at the disableConcurrentBuilds property: properties properties: [ ... disableConcurrentBuilds(), ... ] Then the job would wait the older one to finish first The answer provided in https://stackoverflow.com/a/43963315/6839445 is deprecated. The current method to disable concurrent builds is to set options: options { disableConcurrentBuilds() } Detailed description is available here: https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline

I'd like to leverage the existing Mailer plugin from Jenkins within a Jenkinsfile that defines a pipeline build job. Given the following simple failure script I would expect an email on every build. #!groovy stage 'Test' node { try { sh 'exit 1' } finally { step([$class: 'Mailer', notifyEveryUnstableBuild: true, recipients: 'me@me.com', sendToIndividuals: true]) } } The output from the build is: Started by user xxxxx [Pipeline] stage (Test) Entering stage Test Proceeding [Pipeline] node Running on master in /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/rpk-test/workspace [Pipeline] { [Pipeline] sh [workspace] Running
