Re: Create a new option for running when condition before stage input

We have the same requirement, business case is following:

  • in multibranch pipeline we want to run the build for every branch but
  • deployment should be done only for the master- or hotfix-branches
  • after manual confirmation
  • in other branches the deployment should be skipped without interaction

We have the same requirement:

  • run a stage with input only for specific branches

Re: Create a new option for running when condition before stage input
I found a workaround, just put your input directive inside the steps one like that
 
{code:java}
 stage('Production Deploy') {
    agent
{ label 'linux' }
    when {
{         branch "master"    }
    steps {
{         input \{ message 'Deploy to Production?' }
        echo 'Deploying to Production ... '    }             
}
{code}

This workaround blocks an executor for the time waiting for input. Following is wanted (as described in https://jenkins.io/blog/2018/04/09/whats-in-declarative/)

 

pipeline {
    agent none // no executor is blocked 
    stages {
        stage('Production Deploy') {
            when {
                branch 'master'
                // beforeInput: true
            }
            input { 
                message 'Deploy to Production?' // For this input can be waited several days
            }
            agent any // From here on for executing the steps an executor is needed
            steps {
                echo 'Deploying to Production ... '
            }
        }
    }
}

Change By: Andrew Bayer
Currently, when using the "stage-level" input (here: [https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#input)] the when condition of the stage is evaluated after the input is gathered.  We should add an option so the when condition is evaluated before the input is gathered. Something like:

{code:java}
stage('Production Deploy') {
    agent { label 'linux' }
    when {
        branch "master"
        beforeInput : true

    }
   input { message 'Deploy to Production?' }
    steps {
        echo 'Deploying to Production ... '
    }             
}{code}
 
*Use cases*
* Evaluate the when condition before the input has been gathered.

*In scope*
* Declarative pipeline only
* Only used for input at stage level https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#input

Re: Create a new option for running when condition before stage input

Looks good!

Q: Can I, and if so how can I make the result of the captured input (the approver) available in a variable?

Re: Create a new option for running when condition before stage input

Just a warning, the beforeInput is not documented in the article nor in the snippet generator. I just faced this and the only solution is in Torsten's comment.
