Can I add a "publish" button to a build page

[Jonathan Hodgson]

Hi,

If a build is successful (compiled correctly, passed all tests), I may then want to send it out to beta testers. Which means copying the built binary to a location where they can find it, and sending out emails. I don't want to do this for exery successful build though.

A sensible solution is seems to me would be to have a button on the build page where I could trigger a groovy script to do this. Is there a plugin which would facilitate this?

regards

Jon

You might take a look at the Promoted Builds plugin. It allows you to manually "promote" a particular build, and trigger other actions. It's designed exactly for this sort of situation.

I have exactly this same need, but with pipeline builds. 

The Promotion plugin works awesome for regular builds, but unfortunately does not work with pipeline builds. 

I created this Jira to track enhancing the plugin to support pipeline builds:  https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-36089

Has anyone found any other solution for this use case (Need to take actions on a specific build) when using multibranch pipeline builds?

Cheers,
Greg

You could use an input step (https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/pipeline-input-step/#code-input-code-wait-for-interactive-input) to require manual validation.

Wrap it in a timeout https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/workflow-basic-steps/#code-timeout-code-enforce-time-limit to clean-up pending builds you didn't approve after a given time.

This above (input with timeout) is what we are currently doing. When the milestone step is done (see https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/JENKINS-27039), I believe we will switch to using that instead.
