vpandey great

so theres a path forward for this one?

jdumay yes!

jdumaymneale Ah, I think I misunderstood the model. I can get definition of each step: FreeStyleProject.getBuilders() -> gives all build steps definitions. However from executed run of a freestyle job , there is only top level run object and no way to get individual executed steps and each step's details (id, result etc). So as it appears we can't expose freestyle executed steps as individual steps.

I will check with unicorn team to see if there is way to get such info.

As discussed in an email thread - the data does not exist in jenkins to do this. It would require a fairly major change to capture things like logs per step. We should not do this, it's not worth it.

As I mentioned, a better "value add" in future for freestyle is to take chains of freestyle jobs and show them as one "pipeline result" - where the stages are jobs, but an individual freestyle job - not much we can show (other than what console annotators and other things may yield in the future - there are some console annotators that allow you to collapse the log into areas not unlike steps, perhaps that is the only way that it can be made to look similar for freestyle, but it isn't a generic solution).

Lets close this and fry other fish.

SGTM

vpandey jglick WDYT about using console annotators to provide "sections" of the log per builder?

jdumay Maybe, have a BuildListener annotate log section per builder, jglick can confirm or tell if there are better ways to do it.
