Jenkins: How to skip a specific stage in a multibranch pipeline?


We have "stage (build)" on all our branches. Temporarily how can we skip this stage to run on all our branches in multibranch pipeline. I know one solution is use when condition on stage and ask all developers to pull that branch into their branch. But thats lot of work and coordination. Instead I am looking for a global configuration where we can simply skip the stage by name on any branch.


Solution

  • It sounds like you keep the Jenkinsfile alongside the code, but want to change how the Jenkinsfile runs from an administrative point of view.

    You could store this stage in a separate (version control flavor of preference) repository. Before you execute the stage, load in the repository then load in the script file and within the stage execute a method defined in that file.

    Alternatively, add a parameter to the build job (this assumes you aren't setting parameters via options in the Jenkinsfile) that is a boolean to use or skip the stage and you can modify the project configuration when you want to turn it on or off
