Jenkins / JENKINS-59663 Pipeline input step should never use an executor Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Components: pipeline Created: 2019-10-04 16:59 Priority: Minor Reporter: Benjamin Muschko If a pipeline declares an agent/node for the whole pipeline or for a stage, an input step will automatically hold on to an executor. As a workaround you will have to define your agent/node declaration in a way that do not wrap the input step. I cannot think of a use case where you will ever want to hold on to an executor when waiting for a manual input. The approval process can take anywhere from minutes, days or even weeks. I think it's reasonable to say that the input step should handle the behavior internally by never run on an agent/node independent of the agent/node declaration. Please provide use cases where holding on to an executor makes sense for better understanding in case I am missing something. Add Comment
