+1 online pipeline syntax generator. The online documentation is such a pain, page too long to scroll, no type or any example, no freaking idea what the hell the value shape must be sometime. You kind of need deep knowledge of Java/Jenkins Groovy to have a slight idea of what the value are or make reference too.
When you see crap documentation like this, you known the documentation is a failure, oh look great I should put a value of string! what value, what effect, is it a path or something, go figure, what does the name actually does?!? this is pretty bad, I almost always need to find example, the doc is useless:
Or the so verbose description of script!
I wish I could make a better pun, but I don’t see anything to add 😉
Who ever made the documentation layout and descriptions (or if you prefer the lack of both) did a poor job. The collapsing on a single page make navigation of it a nightmare too. Live search maybe, link to an actual page with actual doc for the function/method/options. Take a look at Qt/Microsoft C# documentation or many other online. That would actually help people. And like the comment above, why is this not online available to all?
My 2 cents about the snippets/doc, you might disagree, but figuring out the command should not be the challenge of using a tools.

This is all well and good, but does not answer my question.
