How to dynamically get list of branches or pull requests in Jenkinsfile/groovy?

[Mark Stosberg]

Currently I've got an input() call in my Jenkinsfile that prompts users to select a branch name to manually deploy:

  userInput = input(

   id: 'userInput', message: 'Manual Deploy?', parameters: [
   [$class: 'ChoiceParameterDefinition', choices: 'develop\nmaster\nPR-124', description: 'Branch to deploy', name: 'branch', defaultValue: 'develop'],
  ])

Instead of hardcoding a list branch names, how can I dynamically build this list based on the list of the pull requests that are already known to Jenkins in our multlbranch pipeline configuration?

Jenkins is configured to automatically build new pull requests already. 

Thanks,

      Mark

You'd best be served by writing a plugin with a step...

Start from the code for resolveScm and you should be able to modify that to return a list of branch names rather than the current behaviour of returning a scm instance for a specific named branch (resolveScm will have a delta from what you want but it should have the smallest delta)

Check this plugin - https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Git+Parameter+Plugin

If you may change your build behavior from user input to parameter, this plugin might serve you well.
