Pipeline Config: ability to skip whole pipeline or stages based on boolean condition

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      A common enough pattern is to skip either a whole pipeline or a stage based on the branch of execution. This is pretty common in deployment focused pipelines, and would be a strong reason to break out of config and that would be a shame.

      It would be nice if this was somewhat first class in pipeline config. Some may be able to be done with a block scoped step... but not clear if all can be.

      A general way of saying "if this boolean condition is false, skip this stage" would be the way to go - a branch matching would be one particular use of this, but the right thing to do is go generic.

            It's "resolved" as POSTPONED. So it's not fixed. Also, closing issues like that doesn't allow people to vote for them, which kind of sucks (I've seen it for other issues like supporting labels to steps).

            Huh? We released the when directive for Declarative ages ago.

            Sorry, I think I got the comments mixed up, I was replying about scripted pipelines:

            => therefore filed https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-47286 "Support skipping stages in scripted pipelines for nice visualization in blue ocean and classic UI stage view"
