Generate stage from script stdout

[Yeikel Santana]

Dear Jenkins Community,

I am aware that we can generate dynamic stages using groovy scripts. Question is, can we also do this from the standard output of a script?

For example, I have a script written in Nodejs that I execute with "sh node script.js" and that It can produce standard output to the console.I would like to use its outputs to generate new stages . Is this possible? Do I need to parse the output from groovy in order to do something like this?

I would like to avoid rewriting this script to groovy as much as possible.

Thank you!

yes. You can generate groovy code using any tool you want and then use load to import it, e.g. 

node('docker') {

    checkout scm

    // this step generates Jenkinsfile.do_merge

    sh script: './bin/git/needs_merging -j'

    pipeline = load 'Jenkinsfile.do_merge'

    pipeline.execute()

}

and the generated code looks like 

$ cat Jenkinsfile.do_merge 

// Jenkins job definition for the daily-merge job.

// 

// GENERATED by needs_merging 

//

// DO NOT EDIT

//

def execute() {

/// your code goes here

}

return this
