Expose "jenkins" contributed steps/flownodes

XMLWordPrintable

      Take a simple pipeline like: 

      stage "starting"
node {    
    stage "building"
        sh "echo 42"
    stage "testing"
        sh "echo 43"
}

      There is a bunch of work done by jenkins that is no reflected in the nodes returned for a stage: 

      Started by user mic@goo.com
[Pipeline] stage (starting)
Entering stage starting
Proceeding
[Pipeline] node
Running on master in /Users/michaelneale/projects/paas/blueocean/blueocean-plugin/work/workspace/pipey
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] stage (building)
Entering stage building
Proceeding
[Pipeline] sh
[pipey] Running shell script
+ echo 42
42
[Pipeline] stage (testing)
Entering stage testing
Proceeding
[Pipeline] sh
[pipey] Running shell script
+ echo 43
43
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
Finished: SUCCESS

      would it make sense to expose some of these "jenkins" nodes in the stage that they really come under (like starting the build, fetching a node, workspace etc).

      Whilst showing all steps in a flowNode may be possible, showing these "synthetic" steps along with the users steps makes sense.

          Note that one plugin actually uses the full flownode graph to display this:

          code: https://github.com/jenkinsci/pipeline-view-plugin

          I don't think it makes sense to show this in the stage graph, other than very simple flows, but it is useful information to show in the step listing.

          jdumay synthetic steps - I believe there is a backend ticket for exposing it but I am not sure where it is. We may want to differentiate how it is shown in the GUI as there can be a lot of them.
