Pipeline steps reference not listing the external workspace manager plugin steps

[martinda]

Hi,

The Pipeline steps reference is not listing the steps provided by the External Workspace Manager Plugin.
Is there something missing in the plugin?

Hello,

Good point Martin.

For example, I've seen that the selectRun step from the Run Selector Plugin is referenced on that list. AFAIK I haven't done anything different on the Run Selector than on the External Workspace Manager.

I wonder how that list is populated. Is it an automatic process? or someone has to add the references somewhere?

Hi!

Responding to your questions much later, but the process hasn't changed that much since you originally posted.  The pipeline steps reference page is generated automatically; it should update frequently and there are constant improvements out there for that doc generation right now.  If your plugin is relatively new, then it might not have been picked up yet (though at this point depending, it should be).  I might need to check on that job to make sure it's still going.  It's INCREDIBLY resource intensive (basically it creates a Jenkins that knows about every single plugin in the Jenkins update center) (you might not want to try that in your own Jenkins environment!), and I need to see how it's doing on some of the new processes.

You don't need to do anything different with your plugin or add it to a list.  Recently, there was an update to make the documentation more complete.  So if your step integrated with the workflow-scm plugin (like it was a step in that you called it from "step" or "wrap") it'll be added.  That should get rolled in soon, and the page will be updated shortly after.

Hope this answers your questions!

Hi Kristin,

Is your response still valid?

I developed new plugin and successfully published it this week and it is already like 3 days and there is still no steps reference for the plugin at the main page. I am wondering if I did something wrong or should I just wait little bit longer for the change to take a effect?

I answered this on IRC, but for posterity: We currently update the steps doc once per week, on Sunday.
