      Hi,

       

      Is it possible to use changeset syntax ?

       

      For example,

      stage ('test') {
  when {
    changeset "branchA/folder1/**"
  }
  steps {
    ...
  }
}

          [JENKINS-58441] can I use changeset in when pipeline syntax

          Hi luckyhorang - Yes but I do not know how useful it will be. The following uses 'changeset' to test for the 'Jenkinsfile':

           

          pipeline {  agent { label 'master' }  stages {
   stage("Test changeset"){
        when { changeset "**/Jenkinsfile"}
            steps{ echo "The changeset test worked!!"}
        }
    stage("Display changeset?") {
      steps {
        script {
           def changeLogSets = currentBuild.changeSets
           for (int i = 0; i < changeLogSets.size(); i++) {
           def entries = changeLogSets[i].items
           for (int j = 0; j < entries.length; j++) {
               def entry = entries[j]
               echo "${entry.commitId} by ${entry.author} on ${new Date(entry.timestamp)}: ${entry.msg}"
               def files = new ArrayList(entry.affectedFiles)
               for (int k = 0; k < files.size(); k++) {
                   def file = files[k]
                   echo " ${file.editType.name} ${file.path}"
               }
            }
           }
        }
      }

          Note that the text at the end attempts to display the contents of the changeset. In my case the output was:

          [Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] withEnv
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Test changeset)
[Pipeline] echo
The changeset test worked!!
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Display changeset?)
[Pipeline] script
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] echo
1734 by super on Thu Jul 11 16:39:02 UTC 2019: Edited
[Pipeline] echo
  edit //streams/main/Jenkinsfile
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // script
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // withEnv
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
Finished: SUCCESS

          I did not understand the changeset regex syntax so you may have to ask others about that.

          I'm trying to get this exact example working in a multibranch pipeline, and the when test exactly as written above is failing for some reason despite the other stuff looking OK... any ideas?

          [Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Test changeset)
Stage "Test changeset" skipped due to when conditional
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Display changeset?)
[Pipeline] script
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] echo
66 by jesse on Tue Nov 05 03:40:41 PST 2019: Polling time adjust
[Pipeline] echo
 edit //streams/Dev-Jenkins/Jenkinsfile
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // script
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
