Suppressing certain builds

[jeremy mordkoff]

I use scripted pipelines

I would like certain builds to abort early. (1) if it is just a branch creation event, (2) if the commit message is "bump" and (3) if the only change was in certain submodules. 

I think I know all the pieces to make this work -- I can write a tool that could determine if a build was needed or not. What I don't know is what is the best way to abort the pipeline. Do I set the currentBuild.status and return? Or do I need to wrap all of the subsequent stages in an if?

Can you give a simple example?

node { 

 stage("checkout") { 

   checkout scm 

   result = sh (script: "git log -1 | grep bump", returnStatus: true) 

   if (result == 0) { 

      println("CI bump commit...skipping build")

      currentBuild.result = 'NOT_BUILT'

      # can I just return here ? exit 0? 

   }

 }

 stage("build") { 

....
