Develop a custom step that would make pipeline wait for a webhook

[Julien HENRY]

Hi guys,

We would like to implement a feature in the SonarQube plugin that would make the pipeline wait for some external/asynchronous processing to be completed (SonarQube analysis). In addition we would like to get some data (JSON payload) from this external process. Something like:

def analysisResult;
withSonarQubeEnv('mySonar') {
    sh 'mvn sonar:sonar' // Submit asynchronous analysis
    analysisResult = waitForSonarQubeAnalysis 
}

if (analysisResult.isSuccess) {
  promote()
} else {
  notifyKO(analysisResult)
}

I found this ticket https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-27127 that is really close to what we need. Is there any progress on that topic? Waiting for this generic step, do you think it would be possible to implement the feature with a custom step?

Thanks

Julien

Yes, sounds like it. The issue needs to be “defuzzed” somewhat:
concrete proposals written up, possibly broken into multiple features.

Not currently.

Sure, there is nothing stopping you from writing a limited version of
this feature tailored to your needs.

https://github.com/jenkinsci/workflow-step-api-plugin/#creating-an-asynchronous-step

plus probably an `UnprotectedRootAction` (take care to consider
malicious payloads).

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for the pointers.
