Jenkins / Bug JENKINS-38995
Choice parameters cannot be used inside of Multibranch Pipelines
Issue Type: Bug Bug
Assignee: CloudBees Inc.
Components: pipeline
Created: 2016/Oct/14 3:20 PM
Priority: Minor Minor
Reporter: R. Tyler Croy

In a project I need parameters (with defaults) to execute property - imagine having a default to "debug" build parameter with the option for a user to select "release" build/deploys every now and again.

I can accomplish this with a "non-multibranch Pipeline" by using the Choice parameters when configuring the project, but when I use the properties step my Multibranch Pipeline cannot execute properly.

Given the following Jenkinsfile

properties([parameters([choice(choices: ['debug', 'release', 'dev'],
        description: '', name: 'buildType')]), pipelineTriggers([])])

node {
    echo buildType
   // echo "buildType is: ${buildType}"
}

This will result in the exception below:

Finished: FAILURE

I should note, the project is not properly scanned for the parameter properties as the "Build Now" sidebar item does not change to "Build with Parameters".

Re: Choice parameters cannot be used inside of Multibranch Pipelines

Jesse Glick, that ticket is for the choice parameter for the input step and doesn't clearly map to the properties step as far as I can tell? Perhaps that ticket title needs to be changed to something like "all choice parameters generated by the snippet generator are wrong?"

Same code either way.

This problem is really anoying and filling quite a bunch of places on the net.

It seems that the array syntax of defining the choices is not supported and must be replaced by a string that is concatenated by \n. This snippet did the trick for me:

{{
properties([parameters([choice(choices: "debug\nrelease\ndev",


description: '', name: 'buildType')]), pipelineTriggers([])])
}}
