How to invoke a jenkins pipeline A in another jenkins pipeline B
I have two Jenkins pipelines, let's say pipeline-A and pipeline-B. I want to invoke pipeline-A in pipeline-B. How can I do this?
(pipeline-A is a subset of pipeline-B. Pipeline-A is responsible for doing some routine stuff which can be reused in pipeline-B)
I have installed Jenkins 2.41 on my machine.
A little unclear if you want to invoke another pipeline script or job, so I answer both:
Pipeline script The "load" step will execute the other pipeline script. If you have both scripts in the same directory, you can load it like this:
def pipelineA = load "pipeline_A.groovy"
pipelineA.someMethod()
Other script (pipeline_a.groovy):
def someMethod() {
//do something
}
return this
Pipeline job
If you are talking about executing another pipeline job, the "build job" step can accomplish this:
build job: '<Project name>', propagate: true, wait: true
propagate: Propagate errors
wait: Wait for completion
If you have paramters on the job, you can add them like this:
build job: '<Project name>', parameters: [[$class: 'StringParameterValue', name: 'param1', value: 'test_param']]
Following solution works for me:
pipeline {
agent
{
node {
label 'master'
customWorkspace "${env.JobPath}"
}
}
stages
{
stage('Start') {
steps {
sh 'ls'
}
}
stage ('Invoke_pipeline') {
steps {
build job: 'pipeline1', parameters: [
string(name: 'param1', value: "value1")
]
}
}
stage('End') {
steps {
sh 'ls'
}
}
}
}
Adding link of the official documentation of "Pipeline: Build Step" here: https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/pipeline-build-step/
As mentioned by @Matias Snellingen and @Céline Aussourd, in the case of launching a multibranch job you have to specify the branch to build like this :
stage ('Invoke_pipeline') {
steps {
build job: 'pipeline1/master', parameters: [
string(name: 'param1', value: "value1")
]
}
}
In my case it solved the problem.
