howto use library function for parameter list

[Thomas Markus]

Hi,

I'm using the extended choice parameter plugin for a selection list made
by a groovy script.

How can I use a library function for this? Currently I have to copy my
scipt. I'm to dumb to find that answer myself :(

best regards

This is what my pipeline looks like:

@Library('MyBuild') _

myBuild( module: MyModule', platform: 'win32vc19' )

Maybe its similar for the extended choice-plugin?

You mean using a function from a custom pipeline library for a scripted value of the extended choice? I don't think this is possible. As the script for the extended choice parameter is executed _before_ the job has started, the library will not be available.

When using a library inside a run (@Library decorator or library() function), Jenkins will check out a working copy of the library into a special @lib folder. The groovy code is then loaded from there and can be used inside the pipeline. But, this happens only when the build is actually started.
