Jenkins build step time

[Mona Pinjani]

Hi,

We have freestyle jobs in which we have various bill steps listed as "execute shell". 

Ex.

bundle 

# Build Ruby Gem

bundle exec rake build

All of these run inside a docker container.

How can I get a list of build times for each of these steps, including the time taken to spin up the docker container ?

You can use the timestamp plugin:

If you use unix you can use the time command too within your build steps as long as they are "execute shell" types:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_(Unix)

for instance:

time bundle

time bundle exec rake build

My two cents
