Can I create dynamically stages in a Jenkins pipeline?
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]}") {
sh '....'
}
}
As JamesD suggested, you may create stages dynamically (but they will be sequential) like that:
def list
pipeline {
agent none
options {buildDiscarder(logRotator(daysToKeepStr: '7', numToKeepStr: '1'))}
stages {
stage('Create List') {
agent {node 'nodename'}
steps {
script {
// you may create your list here, lets say reading from a file after checkout
list = ["Test-1", "Test-2", "Test-3", "Test-4", "Test-5"]
}
}
post {
cleanup {
cleanWs()
}
}
}
stage('Dynamic Stages') {
agent {node 'nodename'}
steps {
script {
for(int i=0; i < list.size(); i++) {
stage(list[i]){
echo "Element: $i"
}
}
}
}
post {
cleanup {
cleanWs()
}
}
}
}
}
That will result in: dynamic-sequential-stages
