Git Parameter does not work as input in a scripted pipeline

    • Jenkins ver. 2.89.1
      Git Parameter Plugin 0.90

      I tried to use the git parameter plugin in a pipeline script to fill an input (Target Branch to merge to in another repository).

      According to https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/pipeline-input-step/ GitParameters should work for inputs, 

      input(
        id: 'Proceed1', message: 'Specifiy QA Candiate Branch', 
        parameters: [
          [$class: 'GitParameterDefinition', 
           name: 'candidateBranch', 
           type: 'PT_BRANCH', 
           ]
        ]
      )

      This gets rendered but whatever I do the branch select stays empty (When refreshing I can see a brief spinner with "Retrieving..."). I also tried to capture related logs but couldn't get anything (From looking at the code only exceptional cases are logged).

      I also tried as documented in https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/pipeline-input-step/

      type: 'Branch' 

      Just to validate that it works in general I added the parameter to the job itself and if I trigger a parameterized build the select is properly filled.

          Hi mjungsbluth

          Thanks for your request, unfortunately plugin doesn't support 'input-steps'.
          I changing the issue on a feature not a bug.
          I did small research and change in source code isn't simple.
          I will be able to come back this issue only at the beginning of April

          Regards

          Bogusław
