Re: Anyway to programatically update a Jenkinsfile?

we don´t use Jenkinsfile(s) at all - instead we generate all the jobs using the Job-DSL. The jobs than either have the full (generated) code in it - or even better they just call some functions of a shared library. Any modifications can be applied by a new version of the shared library - or by a

Re: Anyway to programatically update a Jenkinsfile?

Use a template engine to generate Jenkins files, I suggest the StringTemplate template engine. It's a purely declarative template. There are examples in the intro doc that you can try in

Re: Anyway to programatically update a Jenkinsfile?

I have to agree with Jeremy on this. Using a templating engine like m4 or jinja2 is superior to programmatic generation of groovy, if you need to do it on the fly. Why? Simplicity and Readability. I inherited a build system that is based on using a multibranch pipeline with a Jenkinsfile that l

Re: Anyway to programatically update a Jenkinsfile?

Re: Anyway to programatically update a Jenkinsfile?

I use a templating tool (m4) so I can build up a groovy script using macros. In the first stage of my Jenklinsfiie, I call a bash script that generates a groovy script, which I then load and execute. The loaded script has N stages. Note that if the ordering of your stages changes, jenkins will

Anyway to programatically update a Jenkinsfile?

Does anyone know of any libraries/tools that will allow me to add/remove/update sections of a Jenkinsfile programatically? I have a load of different projects which I need to update to include some new mandatory parameters. I'd like to go down the 'shared library' route but in this instance its
