Allow loading libraries in evaluated scripts

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      When I am trying to load a library in the evaluated script, I get "Could not find any definition of libraries [foo]" error. The minimal job is like this:

      evaluate '@Library("foo") _'

      It would be really nice if this code worked as-is, but any workaround would help me too.

            Why would you want to do this? And even if you did, I think JENKINS-39450 would be a better approach.

            We use evaluate to load jenkinsfiles with non-default names in multibranch pipelines. A separate step to load a library will help, although it means that @Library annotation becomes completely useless for us.

            I really wish that at least built parameters or env vars could be expanded in the @Library string.

            samliddicott you can use the library step for dynamic import of libraries.
