I'm new to Jenkins Pipeline jobs, and I'm facing an issue I cannot solve.
I have a stage with a hardcoded sleep
seconds value:
stage ("wait_prior_starting_smoke_testing") {
echo 'Waiting 5 minutes for deployment to complete prior starting smoke testing'
sleep 300 // seconds
}
But I would like to provide the time argument via a job (string) parameter SLEEP_TIME_IN_SECONDS
. But whatever I have tried, I am not able to get it to work.
How do you convert a string parameter to the int
time argument?
Finally I did found a way to get this work:
stage ("wait_prior_starting_smoke_testing") {
def time = params.SLEEP_TIME_IN_SECONDS
echo "Waiting ${SLEEP_TIME_IN_SECONDS} seconds for deployment to complete prior starting smoke testing"
sleep time.toInteger() // seconds
}
