How to safe guard against broken jenkinsfiles causing pipelines to run indefinitely?

[red 888]

I have my repo getting polled every 5 mins.

But I found that if the jenkinsfile is totally broken the pipeline will fail with "This stage has no steps".

Then every 5 mins it will retry it and keep failing.

How do I safe guard against this? Can I set a threshold somewhere so if this happens it doesn't churn forever?

Yes and no. No, nothing specific to pipeline springs to my mind for this.

But yes, is very easy to use system Groovy script to, for instance, find the recent builds that failed in less than 5 seconds.

Something like (untested, on the phone):

Jenkins.instance.allItems

.findAll { it instanceof SomeProject, filter what you want }

.collect { it.builds }

.flatten()

.findAll { it.state = failed && it.duration < 5000 }

.each { println it.job.name }

Beware that the code above is totally untested and partly pseudo code, so you need to complete it.

Sure ask again if you can't get it finished.

Cheers
