Declarative Pipeline with variable number of stages

[Andreas Røsdal]

Hello,

I would like to implement a declarative pipeline in Jenkin, using only one Jenkinsfile,
but have variable number of stages depending upon which branch of the project is being built.

Is this possible? Can I dynamically change the number of stages in a dynamic pipeline?
Can I dynamically change the label text of a stage in a declarative pipeline?

Hi there,

You can conditionally run certain stages, using the `when` directive
and the `branch` conditions:
https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#when
https://youtu.be/YWb5Is6VwPg

I'm not sure whether you can dynamically specify a stage name, but
calling a shared library function that returns a String could
potentially work.

Regards,
Chris

You can conditionally run certain stages, using the `when`  directive

When I exclude certain stages from the pipeline using the 'when' directive,

they are still included in the Jenkins pipeline stage view as having run successfully for some milliseconds,

even though they where excluded by 'when'.

This is the view: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Pipeline+Stage+View+Plugin

Is seems like a bug in the Jenkins stage view plugin, that stages which are excluded by 'when' are still

shown as having completed successfully?

Thanks for the reply!
