Return value from step (pipeline)

[sreeram yerrapragada]

Hello Jenkins Users,

Is it possible to capture the return value from pipeline step?

ex:

def result = findbugs(pattern: '**/target/**/findbugsXml.xml')

echo result

Thanks

To store cmd status or output, you should use sh(). You will find code snippets in this link, https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/examples/

BTW, Jenkins Pipeline doc has step called, "findFiles" but there is nothing like, findbugs. Is that your custom function?

Pipeline step return values can be captured.

Refer to "https://github.com/MarkEWaite/jenkins-bugs/blob/e47d74ea8185c24d9c9531b7a126ae4a8fadef56/Jenkinsfile#L39" for an example of the return value of "checkout" being assigned and used.

Ramanathan, "findbugs" is a step added by the findbugs plugin.  It was added in findbugs plugin version 4.70.

I don't know if the findbugs step returns a value you could use.  I thought it had settings which would mark the build as stable or unstable depending on the detection of findbugs warnings.  The Jenkins plugin development infrastructure can run findbugs as part of plugin continuous integration, and marks the build unstable when a findbugs warning is detected.

This is not yet possible. The findbugs step does not return anything currently. This will change in a future version of findbugs.
