Trigger arbitrary build/post-build steps from pipeline

[Andrew Melo]

Hello all,

I would like to trigger build/post-build steps that don't appear in the snippet viewer (e.g. publish TAP results) from a pipeline. Is there a way to trigger arbitrary build/post-build steps that don't appear in the snippet browser, or will the plugin need to be updated to explicitly support being triggered from pipelines?

Thanks!

Andrew

Hi again,

I poked at it some more and it appears I'll have to explicitly change the plugins I want to use in a pipeline. The following:

step([$class: 'TapPublisher', testResults: 'tap.log']) 

yields the following error:

no known implementation of interface jenkins.tasks.SimpleBuildStep is named TapPublisher

Or, perhaps a new groovy step that consumes classes of type 'Recorder' is the better idea?

Thanks again!

Andrew

Hi,

I've dug a bit more, perhaps that will help find a solution. It appears the "step" groovy function wants a class that implements SimpleBuildStep, but the plugins I'm looking at implements/extends hudson.tasks.Recorder. I'm confused about the issue. If I look at the javadoc:

http://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/hudson/tasks/Recorder.html

I see that Recorder implements BuildStep, but not SimpleBuildStep. But (and my java is rusty, so forgive the terminology), since BuildStep is a superinterface of SimpleBuild step, shouldn't it "count" for when step() searches for a class implementing the interface?

Thanks

Andrew

ping? Is the shiny new pipeline functionality simply incompatible with all of the existing plugins?

From a pipeline, You cannot invoke methods in other Jenkins plugins unless

those plugins have been modified to support pipelines.  See:
