Builder > Shell question

[Enrique Valenzuela]

Hi team!
Kinda new to the game and I have been migrating an older version of JJB to the 6.3.0 for a team, while doing this, I found that we had a lot of repetitive bash scripting, so I want to add it in a shared script and then add that into almost every shell of my job templates but when doing that, I end up with 2 shells (because the include tag doesn't allow me to include and add inline scripting).

Thus, I was wondering if there is a way to have a shell in the builder section to include both scripts and also a shell, for example:

Right now I have the following code:
======= CODE ====

- job-template:
    id: apb_build_application_v0
    name: 'BuildApplication-{job_name}'
    folder: '{job_path}'
    description: 'BuildApplication-{job_name}'
    project-type: freestyle

    wrappers:
      - timestamps
      - ansicolor:
          colormap: xterm
      - build-user-vars
      - workspace-cleanup
    builders:
      - shell:
          !include-raw-verbatim:
            - functions.sh
      - shell: |
          #!/bin/bash -e
          # echo_notification function defined in the above functions.sh file
          echo_notification hello

==== END CODE ===

due to having 2 shell in the builders, its defined as 2 distinct steps, so I was wondering if I can do something like:

==== CODE ====

builders:

  - shell: 

      !include-raw-verbatim:

         - functions.inc.sh

      - |

         echo_notification hello

=== END CODE

Any idea on how to achieve that that is not "adding all the additional code" to other scripts and just adding them in a list for the include tags?

Thanks for your time and help!

Best

Hi, Enrique.

One approach is to create your custom shell macro, which would receive both include list and actual script (not tested, just an example):

Macro file:
----------------------------------
builder:
  name: my-shell
  builders:
  - shell: !j2: |
      #/bin/bash -e
      {{ for file in includes }}
      source "{{ file }}"
      {{ endfor }}
      {{ shell-script }}
----------------------------------

Job template file:

----------------------------------
builders:
- my-shell:
    includes:
    - functions-1.sh
    - functions-2.sh
    shell-script:

           # echo_notification function defined in the above functions.sh file
      echo_notification hello

----------------------------------

You can also use defaults for includes, or have some of them hardcoded in macro, etc.

Hi Vsevolod, 

Thanks for the macro idea! Will give it a whirl!
