"build" step is not documented

XMLWordPrintable

      It seems that the build step is not documented in the GitHub repository.
      The introduction text just mentions

      build other projects (workflow or freestyle)

      but the build step is neither used nor explained anywhere (tutorial etc.).

      Coming from the Build Flow plugin, I'd say it's an important step and should be documented.

          This is mentioned in the DZone article: https://dzone.com/refcardz/continuous-delivery-with-jenkins-workflow
          It is also available in the snippet generator.

          Actually the DZone article is the most comprehensive workflow documentation, yet. So it is documented.

          The ultimate home and format of documentation is still up in the air so I do not see a point in tracking this as a bug.

          The tutorial was originally just a tutorial, and was not a claim to be complete reference documentation for all features. Then it metastasized. At some point the tutorial parts need to be extracted and cleaned up, and other content put into some other format.
