Help with basic pipeline job please

[bri.m.russell]

Hi 

I'm having trouble using scm checkout in a really basic pipeline configuration. I wonder if anyone could please help me spot my schoolboy error:

I have a sample github project here: https://github.com/bmrussell/pipelinetest with a small Jenkinsfile:

stage 'CI'

node {

    echo 'Checking out...'

    scm checkout

    echo 'Checked out.'

    dir

    currentBuild.result = 'SUCCESS'

}

The pipeline job is just configured as Pipeline Script from SCM, giving 

https://github.com/bmrussell/pipelinetest.git

with everything else as default. When built this gives

Obtained Jenkinsfile from git https://github.com/bmrussell/pipelinetest.git

[Pipeline] stage (CI)

Using the ‘stage’ step without a block argument is deprecated

Entering stage CI

Running on master in C:\Users\Brian\.jenkins\workspace\pipeline-test

[Pipeline] {

Checking out...

[Pipeline] }

[Pipeline] // node

Does anyone have any ideas?...

thanks in advance.

Of course the underlying problem is staring at something too long...

checkout scm not scm checkout

time for a beer...
