Table of Contents Matrix building with scripted pipeline Screenshot of matrix pipeline Adding static choices Adding dynamic choices Full pipeline example with dynamic choices Background: How does it work? Exposing a shared library pipeline step Summary With the recent announcement about matrix building you can perform Matrix builds with declarative pipeline. However, if you must use scripted pipeline, then I’m going to cover how to matrix build platforms and tools using scripted pipeline. The examples...

I often find myself needing to run the same actions on a bunch of different configurations. Up to now, that meant I had to make multiple copies of the same stages in my pipelines. When I needed to make changes, I had to make the same changes in multiple places throughout my pipeline. Maintaining even a small number of configuration was difficult for larger pipelines. Declarative Pipeline 1.5.0-beta1...

The task for my Google Summer of Code program was to improve the performance of the Role Strategy Plugin. The performance issues for Role Strategy Plugin had been reported multiple times on Jenkins JIRA. With a large number of roles and with complex regular expressions, a large slow-down was visible on the Web UI. Even before GSoC started, there were a number of patches which tried to improve performance...

The GitLab Branch Source Plugin has come out of its beta stage and has been released to the Jenkins update center. It allows you to create job based on GitLab user or group or subgroup project(s). You can either: Import a single project’s branches as jobs from a GitLab user/group/subgroup (Multibranch Pipeline Job) Import all or a subset of projects as jobs from a GitLab user/group/subgroup...

The template’s main repo is at React Plugin Template This template is part of the project Working Hours UI Improvement during Google Summer of Code 2019, which improved the UI of Working Hours Plugin using this pattern to develop Jenkins plugins with React. The Working Hours Plugin repository can be found at Working Hours Plugin. Overview Developing plugin for Jenkins has always been easy to do with its Jelly...

During my Google Summer of Code Project, I have created the brand new Folder Auth Plugin for easily managing permissions to projects organized in folders from the Folders plugin. This new plugin is designed for fast permission checks with easy-to-manage roles. The 1.0 version of the plugin has just been released and can be downloaded from your Jenkins' Update center. This plugin was inspired by the Role Strategy Plugin and brings...

At end of the first GSoC phase, I announced the first alpha release of the CLI tool and library that will help centralize plugin management and make plugin tooling easier. Phase 2 has mainly been focused on improving upon the initial CLI and library written in Coding Phase 1. In particular, we’ve been focusing on getting the tool ready to incorporate into the Jenkins Docker Image to replace the install-plugins.sh bash...

Hello. As you may know, during the last year GSoC Mr. Shenyu Zheng was working on the Jenkins Code Coverage API Plugin. With Mr. Zheng we made a change so the plugin now is able to check the difference in code coverage between pull requests and target branches. In lots of projects it is a common practice to track if unit tests code coverage doesn’t decrease....

Pipelines are the efficient and modern way how to create jobs in Jenkins. To recognize pipeline changes quickly and easily, we developed the Pipeline Configuration History plugin. This plugin detects changes of pipelines and provides the user an option to view changes between two builds (diffs) of pipeline configurations visibly and traceably. How everything started It all started 10 years ago — with classical job types (e.g. Freestyle, Maven, etc.). Every...

The Working Hour Plugin provides an interface to set up a schedule of allowable build days and times. Jobs that run outside of configured working hours are held until the next allowable build time. For the first code phase at Google Summer of Code, I’ve been working on Working Hours Project, which needed improvements on usability. Rather than classical Jelly pages, React seems to be...
