Pipeline: basic steps (2023)

Check out this plugin on the plugin site

catchError: Catch errors and set build result to errors

If the body throws an exception, mark the build as an error, but still continue executing the pipeline from statement tocatchErrorStep. The behavior of the step when an exception is thrown can be configured to print a message, set a build result other than an error, change the stage result, or ignore certain types of exceptions used to break the build.

This step is most useful when used in the declarative pipeline or with the options to set stage outcome or ignore build breaks. Otherwise, consider using plainattempt-catch(-Finally) Blocks. It is also useful when using certain post-build actions (notifiers) originally defined for freestyle projects that pay attention to the result of the ongoing build.

node { catchError { sh 'might fail' } step([$class: 'Mailer', recipient: 'admin@somewhere'])}

If the shell stage fails, the status of the pipeline build is set to "failed" so that the subsequent mail stage recognizes that this build failed. In the case of the email sender, this means that they will send emails. (It can also send emails if this buildsuccededbut previous ones failed, and so on.) Also in this case, this step can be replaced by the following idiom:

node { try { sh 'might fail' } catch (err) { echo "Caught: ${err}" currentBuild.result = 'FEHLER' } step([$class: 'Mailer', EmpfÃĪnger: 'admin@irgendwo'] )}

For other cases easyattempt-catch(-Finally) blocks are used:

node { sh './set-up.sh' try { sh 'may fail' echo 'Successful!' } catch (err) { echo "Failed: ${err}" } finally { sh './tear-down.sh' } echo 'Printed whether the above succeeded or failed.'} // ...and the pipeline as a whole succeeds

Seethis documentfor background.

  • buildResult : String(Optional)

    When an error is caught, the overall build result is set to this value. Note that the build result can only get worse, so you cannot change the resultSUCCESSif the current result isUNSTABLEor worse. UseSUCCESSorNullto avoid setting the build result when an error is caught.

  • catchInterruptions : boolean(Optional)

    If true, certain types of exceptions used to interrupt the flow of execution for pipelines are caught and handled by the step. If false, these types of exceptions are caught and immediately rethrown. Examples of these types of exceptions are those thrown when a build is manually canceled via the UI and those thrown by thetime outStep. True by default.

  • Message: string(Optional)

    A message logged to the console when an error is caught. If the stage outcome is provided, the message is also associated with that outcome and can be viewed in visualizations.

  • stageResult : String(Optional)

    When an error is caught, the step result is set to this value. If a message was specified, the message is associated with that result. UseSUCCESSorNullto prevent the stage result from being set when an error is caught.

delete Dir: Recursively deletes the current directory from the workspace

Recursively deletes the current directory and its contents. Symbolic links and junctions are not followed, but removed. To delete a specific directory of a workspace, wrap thedelete Dirstep in onedirStep.

    Echo: Print message

    • Message: string

      The message to write to the console output.

    Mistake: error signal

    Signals an error. Useful when you want to conditionally abort part of your program. You can also justthrow new Exception(), but this step avoids printing a stack trace.

    • Message: string

      The message logged to the console when an error is caught.

    file exists: Check if the file exists in the workspace

    Checks whether the specified file exists on the current node. Returnstrue | INCORRECT. This step must be performed within anodeContext:

    # Declarative syntax stage ('Check existence of index.html') { agent any # Could be a top-level or stage-level directive steps { script { if (fileExists('src/main/resources/index.html') ) { echo "Found src/main/resources/index.html file!" } } }}

    With the declarative syntax, it must be executed in a stage with an agent defined (e.g. other than "agent none"):

    # Scripted Syntaxnode { if (fileExists('src/main/resources/index.html')) { echo "Datei src/main/resources/index.html gefunden!" }}
    • File: string

      Path to a file or directory to verify its existence.

      • Both absolute and relative paths are supported. If you use a relative path, it is relative to the current working directory (the workspace by default).
      • Both Unix and Windows paths are supported with a
        /
        Separator:
        node('Linux') { if (fileExists('/usr/local/bin/jenkins.sh')) { sh '/usr/local/bin/jenkins.sh' }}node('Windows') { if ( fileExists('C:/jenkins.exe')) {bat 'C:/jenkins.exe' }}
        When using a Windows path with the backslash (
        \
        ) separator, don't forget to escape it:

        node('Windows') { if (fileExists('src\\main\\resources')) { echo 'Found directory resources.' } }

    istUnix: Checks if it is running on a Unix-like node

    Returns true if includednodeis running on a Unix-like system (like Linux or Mac OS X), false if Windows.

      Post: Post

      Simple step to send email.

      • Subject: String

        Email subject line.

      • body: string

        message text.

      • bcc : string(Optional)

        BCC email address list. Comma separated list of email addresses.

      • cc: string(Optional)

        CC email address list. Comma separated list of email addresses.

      • Character set : string(Optional)

        Character encoding for the email body. Defaults toUTF-8

      • from : string(Optional)

        From the email address. By default, the admin address configured globally for the Jenkins instance.

      • mimeType : String(Optional)

        MIME type of the email body. Defaults toText/ready.

      • answerTo : String(Optional)

        Reploy-To email address. By default, the admin address configured globally for the Jenkins instance.

      • to : string(Optional)

        To the email address list. Comma separated list of email addresses.

      pwd: Get current directory

      Returns the current directory path as a string.

      • tmp: boolesch(Optional)

        When this option is selected, a temporary directory associated with the current directory path is returned, not the directory path itself. The return value is different for each current directory. No two directories share the same temporary directory. This is a convenient place to put temporary files that shouldn't overload a source check; local repositories or caches; etc. False by default.

      readFile: Read file from workspace

      Reads a file from a relative path (with root in the current directory, usually workspace) and returns its content as a simple string.

      • File: string

        Relative (/-delimited) Path to the file within a workspace to read.

      • Encoding: string(Optional)

        The encoding to use when reading the file. If left blank, the platform default encoding will be used. Binary files can be read into a Base64 encoded string by specifying "Base64" as the encoding.

      repeat: Repeat the body up to N times

      Repeat the block (up to N times) if an exception occurs during execution of the body. If an exception occurs on the last attempt, it will cause the build to abort (unless it's somehow caught and processed). User crashes of the build arenotcaught.

      • count : int
      • Conditions(Optional)

        Conditions under which the block should be repeated. If none match, the block fails. If no conditions are specified, the block is always repeated, except in the case of user exits.

        (Video) The Basic Steps of an Animation Pipeline
          Array/list of nested selection of objects
        • Agent

          Recognize that anodeblock, or specific steps in it such asSch, failed for reasons likely related to infrastructure rather than build behavior. If the connection to an agent is lost or the agent is removed from the list of executors while in use (usually in response to the disappearance of underlying cloud resources), this condition allowsrepeatassign a new agent and try the whole block again.

          • kubernetesAgent

            Similar toAgent()(agent error), but tailored for agents deployed from a Kubernetes cloud. Unlike the agent's generic error condition, this ignores certain pod termination reasons that are likely under the pipeline author's control (e.g.OOM killed) while still allowedrepeatto recover from frequent cases of pod deletion.

            • handleNonKubernetes : boolean(Optional)

              Act like the genericAgent()(agent error) when applied to a non-Kubernetes agent. Useful in cases where it is difficult to predict in a job definition whether a Kubernetes or another agent will be used.

          • not continueable

            The Jenkins controller restarted while the build was performing a step that cannot continue. Some steps likeSchorEntryare written to survive a Jenkins restart and just pick up where they left off when the build resumes. others likeBoxorjunitusually completes immediately but cannot tolerate a reboot. If any of these steps were in progress when Jenkins was shut down, the continued build will throw an error. Use this condition withrepeatallows the stage (or the whole enclosurenodeblock) are repeated.

          sleep: Sleep

          The pipeline build will simply pause until the specified amount of time elapses. Equivalent (on Unix)sch 'sleep ...'. Can be used to pause a branch ofparallelwhile another continues.

          • Time: International

            The length of time the step sleeps.

          • Unit(Optional)

            The unit for the time parameter. Defaults to 'SECONDS' if not specified.

            • Values: NANOSECONDS,THE MICROSECOND,MILLISECONDS,SECONDS,PROTOCOL,STD,TAKE

          stow away: Stash away some files to be used later in the build

          Saves a set of files for later use on each node/workspace in the same pipeline run. By default, cached files are discarded at the end of a pipeline run. Other plugins can change this behavior to keep stashes longer. For example, the declarative pipeline contains akeepStashes()Option to allow stashes from a run to be retained and used when that run is restarted.
          Stashes from one pipeline run are not available in other runs, other pipelines, or other jobs. If you want to persist artifacts for use outside of a single execution, consider usingArchive Artifactsinstead of this.notethat thestow awayAnddecongestSteps are designed for use with small files. For large data transfers, use the External Workspace Manager plugin or an external repository manager like Nexus or Artifactory. This is because hidden files are archived in a compressed TAR and for large files this requires significant on-master resources, especially CPU time. There is no hard stash size limit, but between 5 and 100 MB you should probably consider alternatives.

          • Name: string

            name of a hiding place. Should be a simple identifier, similar to a job name.

          • allowEmpty : boolesch(Optional)

            Stash even if no files are included. IfINCORRECT(Default) throws an error if the stash contains no files.

          • excludes: string(Optional)

            Optional set ofAnt style exclusion pattern.
            Use a comma separated list to add more than one expression.
            If empty, no files are excluded.

          • contains: string(Optional)

            Optional set ofAnt style include patterns.
            Use a comma separated list to add more than one expression.
            If empty, how treated**: all files.
            The current working directory is the base directory for the saved files, which are later restored to the same relative locations. So if you want to use a subdirectory, include thatdir.

          • useDefaultExcludes : boolesch(Optional)

            If selected, use Ant's default exclusions - seeHerefor the list. True by default.

          Step: General build step

          This is a special step that allows to call builders or post-build actions (as in freestyle or similar projects), generally "build steps". Simply select the build step to invoke from the drop-down list and configure as needed.

          Note that only pipeline-compatible steps appear in the list.

          To use this step, you must provide a delegate class, e.gstep([$class: 'A3Builder']).

          time out: Enforce timeout

          Executes the code within the block with a specified timeout limit. When the timeout is reached, an exception (org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.FlowInterruptedException) is thrown, causing the build to abort (unless it's somehow caught and processed).

          (Video) Four ways to examine the steps of a Pipeline
          • Time: International

            The amount of time this step will wait before aborting the nested block.

          • Activity: Boolean(Optional)

            Timeout after no activity in logs for this block instead of the absolute duration. False by default.

          • Unit(Optional)

            The unit of the time parameter. Defaults to 'MINUTES' if not specified.

            • Values: NANOSECONDS,THE MICROSECOND,MILLISECONDS,SECONDS,PROTOCOL,STD,TAKE

          Tool: Use a tool from a predefined tool installation

          Binds a tool installation to a variable (returns the tool's home directory). Only already configured tools inConfigure systemare available here. If the original tool installer has the auto-deploy feature, the tool will be installed as required.

          • Name: string

            The name of the tool. The tool name must be preconfigured in Jenkins atManage Jenkins→Global tool configuration.

          • Type: String(Optional)

            Select the type from those availableintegrated tool provider.

          unstable: Set stage result to unstable

          Prints a message to the log and sets up the total build result and the stage resultUNSTABLE. The message is also linked to the stage result and can be viewed in visualizations.

          • Message: string

            A message that is logged to the console. The message is also linked to the stage result and can be viewed in visualizations.

          decongest: Restore previously saved files

          Previously restores a set of filesstow awaypasted into the current workspace.

          • Name: string

            Name of a previously saved stash.

          wait until: Wait for status

          Performs his body repeatedly until he returnsTRUE. when it returnsINCORRECT, wait a while and try again. (Consecutive errors slow the delay between attempts to a maximum of 15 seconds.) There is no limit to the number of repetitions, but if the body throws an error, it is issued immediately.

          • initialRecurrencePeriod : lang(Optional)

            Sets the initial wait time between retries in milliseconds. Default 250ms.
            Each error slows down the delay between attempts to a maximum of 15 seconds.

          • quiet : boolean(Optional)

            If true, the step does not log a message each time the condition is checked. False by default.

          warnError: Catch errors and set build and stage result to unstable

          Executes its body and, if an exception is thrown, sets up the general build result and the stage resultUNSTABLE, prints a specified message and the exception that is thrown in the build log, and associates the stage result with the message for visualizations to display.

          EquivalentcatchError(message: message, buildResult: 'UNSTABLE', stageResult: 'UNSTABLE').

          • Message: string

            A message logged to the console when an error is caught. The message is also linked to the stage result and can be viewed in visualizations.

            (Video) Basic Pipeline Construction

          • catchInterruptions : boolean(Optional)

            If true, certain types of exceptions used to interrupt the flow of execution for pipelines are caught and handled by the step. If false, these types of exceptions are caught and immediately rethrown. Examples of these types of exceptions are those thrown when a build is manually canceled via the UI and those thrown by thetime outStep. True by default.

          mitEnv: set environment variables

          Sets one or more environment variables within a block. Environment variable names are not case-sensitive, so setting "Foo" changes the value of "FOO" if it already exists. Environment variables are available to all external processes spawned in this area. For example:

          node { withEnv(['MYTOOL_HOME=/usr/local/mytool']) { sh '$MYTOOL_HOME/bin/start' }}

          (Note that we're using Groovy single quotes here, so variable expansion is done by the Bourne shell, not Jenkins.)

          See the documentation for thatenvsingleton for more information on environment variables.

          • overrides: array/list of string

            A list of environment variables to set, each on the formVARIABLE=WertorVARIABLE=to reset otherwise defined variables. You can also use the syntaxPATH+WHATEEVER=/etwasput in front/somethingTo$PATH.

            wrap: Generic build wrapper

            This is a special step that makes it possible to call build wrappers (also called "environment configuration" in Freestyle or similar projects). Simply select the wrapper to use from the drop-down list and configure as needed. Everything inside the wrapper block is under its effect.

            Note that only pipeline-compatible wrappers appear in the list.

            To use this step, you must provide a delegate class, e.gwrap([$class: 'AnsiColorBuildWrapper']).

            write file: Write file to workspace

            Writes the specified content to a named file in the current directory.

            • File: string

              Relative path of a file within the workspace.

            • text string

              The data to write to the file.

            • Encoding: string(Optional)

              The target encoding for the file. If left blank, the platform default encoding will be used. If the text is a Base64 encoded string, the decoded binary data can be written to the file by specifying Base64 as the encoding.

            archive: Archive artifacts

            Archives create output artifacts for later use. As of Jenkins 2.x, this step is deprecated in favor of the more configurable onesArchive Artifacts.

            • contains: string

              Include matching artifactsAnt style pattern. Use a comma separated list to add more than one expression.

            • excludes: string(Optional)

              Exclude artifacts that matchAnt style pattern.
              Use a comma separated list to add more than one expression.

            getContext: Get context object from internal APIs

            Gets a context object as inStepContext.get; see.myContext. Lasts a singleTypDispute. Example:

            getContext hudson.FilePath

            For use from trusted code, such as B. global libraries that can manipulate internal Jenkins APIs.

            • Typ
              • Typ: java.lang.Class<?>

            unarchivieren: Copy archived artifacts to the workspace

            • mapping(Optional)
              • Typ: java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>

            myContext: Use context object from internal APIs inside a block

            Encloses a block in a context object as inBodyInvoker.withContext; see.getContext. Lasts a singlecontextargument plus block. Example:

            (Video) Azure DevOps Tutorial for Beginners | CI/CD with Azure Pipelines

            withContext(new MyConsoleLogFilter()) { sh 'process'}

            In the case of automatically, merges its argument with context objectsConsoleLogFilter,LauncherDecorator, AndEnvironmentExpander.

            For use from trusted code, such as B. global libraries that can manipulate internal Jenkins APIs.

            Do nottry to pass objects defined in Groovy; only Java-defined objects are supported. Really you should avoid using this andgetContextand just define aStepinstead in a plugin.
