Check to see if a Pipeline step exist?

[Cuong Tran]

All,

I need to be able to run the same pipeline code under Jenkins 1.x and Jenkins 2.x servers so I want to detect if a step exists and provide alternative.  

For example, the "archiveArtifacts" step doesn't exist in Jenkins 1.x.  Does anyone have a similar problem?

Thanks.

Hi

   You can use this link to keep track of what is already available and what is not.  https://github.com/jenkinsci/pipeline-plugin/blob/master/COMPATIBILITY.md

This resource is a much more comprehensive reference: https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/

A background process searches all plugins which extend Pipeline extension
points and generates that page. Unless there has been some failure to generate,
which rarely happens, that page will be very up to date.



Now to the original poster's original question:

https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/workflow-basic-steps/#code-archive-code-archive-artifacts

As the documentation mentions, archiveArtifacts is only supported on Jenkins
2.x


I strongly recommend upgrading to the latest Jenkins 2.46.1 LTS, there are a
tremendous number of bugs fixed and security issues addressed which are only
available in more current LTS releases.
