Plugin build step not appearing

[Greg Allen]

I am sure I am missing something simple but I can't see it. Hopefully
another set of eyes will help.

I am trying to create a custom build step but it is not appearing in the
list of build steps in the dropdown in the GUI.

My really simple code follows. Can anyone tell me what is missing?

Thanks,

-- Greg


import hudson.Extension;
import hudson.Launcher;
import hudson.model.BuildListener;
import hudson.model.AbstractBuild;
import hudson.model.AbstractProject;
import hudson.tasks.BuildStepDescriptor;
import hudson.tasks.Builder;

public final class TestBuildStep extends Builder {

@Extension
public static final class TestBuildStepDescriptor extends
BuildStepDescriptor<Builder> {

@Override
public String getDisplayName() {
return "Test Build Step";
}

@Override
public boolean isApplicable(final Class<? extends
AbstractProject> jobType) {
return true;
}

}

@Override
public boolean perform(final AbstractBuild<?, ?> build, final
Launcher launcher, final BuildListener listener) {
return false;
}
}

Did you create a matching config.jelly in the resources? Be sure to check out how Stapler works; this is how the jelly file's fields "staple" to Java fields and methods. All the tags you should need are in the taglibs link on this page:

Architecture - Jenkins - Jenkins Wiki

		Architecture - Jenkins - Jenkins Wiki Jenkins is primarily a set of Java classes that model the concepts of a build system in a straight-forward fashion (and if you are using Jenkins, you've seen most of those already).

While we're on the subject; what's the latest state-of-the-art for plugin views? Jelly, groovy, or something else? If so, I'd like this page updated because that's the page that helped me get started.

I didn't think the config.jelly was needed as this extension doesn't expose any configuration options.  But I've added one with just the <jelly></jelly> tags and it still doesn't appear.

Try

mvn clean hpi:run

Thanks, Jesse. I'm not sure why, but that did it.

I had been building the plugin and installing it on my jenkins server
outside of eclipse and the build step wasn't showing up. And I had tried
a mvn clean as well. I did as you suggesting and the build step showed
up in the jenkins that started. So I then ran mvn:package and installed
the plugin manually on my jenkins server and it appeared there as well.

Thanks again!

Probably Eclipse does not run the relevant annotation processor reliably.
