Steps outside a stage or within a stage but outside a parallel do not get visualized

    Description

      This feature request is unplanned and is not actively being worked on

      We are unable to merge orphaned steps (that is, steps that exist outside of a stage or outside of a parallel within a stage) into the closest stage or a synthetic without considerable engineering effort to ensure that all steps are available in the visualization.

      As a workaround we recommend that you wrap any steps within stage and do not include steps sitting outside a parallel in the same stage or try Declarative Pipeline which was designed not to have this problem.

      Scope
      For visualisation purposes:

      • Step outside stage is relocated to the previous stage or next stage (depending if at start, middle or end of the pipeline)
      • Step before a parallel block is relocated to the first parallel branch
      • Step after a parallel block is relocated to the last parallel branch

      Problem
      It is possible that a stage, that has parallel branches under it, also has steps before or after a parallel section.

      Example 1 - step outside stage block
      The output of the step that echos never going to let you down will never be visible from the UI.

      node {
  stage "Stage 1" {
    sh "echo never going to give you up"
  }
  sh "echo never going to let you down"
  stage "Stage 2" {
    parallel (
      "Firefox" : { echo "Never run around" },
      "Edge" : { echo "Never desert you" }
    ) 
  }
  
  stage "Stage 3" {
    echo "Make you cry (never)"
    echo "Tell a lie and hurt you (never)"
  }
}

      Example 2 - step inside stage but not within parallel
      The output of the step that echos never going to let you down will never be visible from the UI.

      node {
  stage "Stage 1" {
    sh "echo never going to give you up"
  }
  
  stage "Stage 2" {
    sh "echo never going to let you down"
    parallel (
      "Firefox" : { echo "Never run around" },
      "Edge" : { echo "Never desert you" }
    ) 
  }
  
  stage "Stage 3" {
    echo "Make you cry (never)"
    echo "Tell a lie and hurt you (never)"
  }
}
