jenkins-workflow

I am studying capabilities of Jenkins Pipeline:Multibranch. It is said that a recently introduced properties step might be useful there, but I can't catch how it works and what is its purpose. Its hint message doesn't seem to be very clear: Updates the properties of the job which runs this step. Mainly useful from multibranch workflows, so that Jenkinsfile itself can encode what would otherwise be static job configuration. So I created a new Pipeline with this as a script (pasted directly into Jenkins not in SCM): properties [[$class: 'ParametersDefinitionProperty', parameterDefinitions: [[

After reading Jenkins tutorial explaining Pipeline plug-in, it seems that plug-in should make it possible to implement Post-Build steps. However documentation is rather limited in regard to specific instructions. For example I wonder how to implement: Run only if build succeeds Run only if build succeeds or is unstable Run regardless of build result Run only if build succeeds stage 'build' ... build ... tests stage 'post-build' ... (Or add -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=false to the MAVEN_OPTS ) Run only if build succeeds or is unstable stage 'build' ... build try { ... tests } catch { ... }

I am trying to find an example of using the Jenkins Copy Artifacts Plugin from within Jenkins pipelines (workflows). Can anyone point to a sample Groovy code that is using it? If builds are not running in the same pipeline you can use direct CopyArtifact plugin, here is example: https://www.cloudbees.com/blog/copying-artifacts-between-builds-jenkins-workflow and example code: node { // setup env.. // copy the deployment unit from another Job... step ([$class: 'CopyArtifact', projectName: 'webapp_build', filter: 'target/orders.war']); // deploy 'target/orders.war' to an app host } With a

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

How can I trigger build of another job from inside the Jenkinsfile ? I assume that this job is another repository under the same github organization , one that already has its own Jenkins file. I also want to do this only if the branch name is master, as it doesn't make sense to trigger downstream builds of any local branches. Update: stage 'test-downstream' node { def job = build job: 'some-downtream-job-name' } Still, when executed I get an error No parameterized job named some-downtream-job-name found I am sure that this job exists in jenkins and is under the same organization folder as the

I'm currently doing some evaluation on the Jenkins Pipeline plugin (formerly know as Workflow plugin). Reading the documentation I found out that I currently cannot retriev the workspace path using env.WORKSPACE : The following variables are currently unavailable inside a workflow script: NODE_LABELS WORKSPACE SCM-specific variables such as SVN_REVISION Is there any other way how to get the absolute path to the current workspace? I need this running some test which in turn gets some parameter (absolute path to some executable file). I already tried using new File("").absolutePath() inside a
