Unable to use build step with boolean parameterized parameter

Issue Type:	Improvement
Assignee:	Andrew Bayer
Components:	pipeline-model-definition-plugin
Created:	2016/Dec/02 11:48 AM
Environment:	pipeline model definition plugin version 0.6 Jenkins 2.25
Labels:	pipeline jenkins
Priority:	Blocker
Reporter:	aurelien leboulanger

I'm not able to use both parameters and build with boolean parameter because the build step need a boolean value and i can only pass the value with a string:

 
                                                                #!/usr/bin/env groovy
pipeline {
    agent any

    parameters {
        booleanParam(defaultValue: false, description: 'Simulate the promotion', name: 'SIMUL')
    }

    stages {
        stage('promote') {
            steps {
                build job: 'promote', parameters: [
                    booleanParam(name: 'SIMUL', value: "${env.SIMUL}")
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}
 
                                                            

will generate this kind of error:

 
                                                                java.lang.ClassCastException: hudson.model.BooleanParameterValue.value expects boolean but received class java.lang.String

Re: Unable to use build step with boolean parameterized parameter

My first thought is to just try value: env.SIMUL - in relatively recent versions of the various Pipeline plugins, you can actually just use value: SIMUL, for that matter. Let me know if that helps?

Re: Unable to use build step with boolean parameterized parameter

[~herau] Hrm. So, with {{workflow-job}} 2.8 installed, {{booleanParam(name: 'SIMUL', value: env.SIMUL)}} works - see https://github.com/jenkinsci/pipeline-model-definition-plugin/pull/75 for an example based on yours. {{" \ $ \ {env.PARAM}"}} definitely does *not* work, but {{env.PARAM}} does.

Re: Unable to use build step with boolean parameterized parameter

The workflow-job is a sub-plugin right ? Does this will be able in the next release of the model definition plugin ?
Thanks for you pull request

Re: Unable to use build step with boolean parameterized parameter

You should be able to use params.PARAM now if you've got workflow-job 2.8 or later installed, yeah.

Re: Unable to use build step with boolean parameterized parameter

i'm using pipeline-model-definition (version:0.6), so i'm using workflow-job 2.8 but this syntax doesn't works.

#!/usr/bin/env groovy
pipeline {
    agent any
    parameters {
        booleanParam(defaultValue: false

, description: 'Simulate the promotion', name: 'SIMUL')
    }
    stages {
        stage('promote') {
            steps {
                build job: 'promote', parameters: [
                    booleanParam(name: 'SIMUL', value: env.SIMUL)
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}
 
                                                            

will generate this exception : java.lang.ClassCastException: hudson.model.BooleanParameterValue.value expects boolean but received class java.lang.String

Re: Unable to use build step with boolean parameterized parameter

Right, try params.SIMUL, rather than env.SIMUL.

Re: Unable to use build step with boolean parameterized parameter

Andrew Bayer aurelien leboulanger I came across this a few weeks ago as well and found that it works if I don't use all CAPS.

This works:

 
                                                                 parameters{
        booleanParam(defaultValue: true, description: '', name: 'skip')
    }

This would not:

 
                                                                 parameters{
        booleanParam(defaultValue: true, description: '', name: 'SKIP')
    }

Can't actually reproduce the issue with 'env.PARAM' or 'params.PARAM',
but can with '"$

{env.PARAM}

"'. If there's a deeper problem here, it's
that we're not actually validating the parameters to the parameters of
steps themselves, but that's a different matter.
