| jenkins declarative pipeline has a nice condition to check for branch names:
stage('build Snapshot') {
when { not { branch 'master' } }
steps {
sh 'mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore'
}
}
unfortunate, it only checks for the branch name in `env.BRANCH`. Sure, I can use something like this:
when {
expression { return env.GIT_BRANCH == "master" }
}
but that's not as nice as the former... The other solution for this would be, the pipeline-model-definition-plugin would check for multiple variables (BRANCH_NAME, BRANCH, GIT_BRANCH) and maybe throw an error in case they define different values (except for null). This does not sound like a big issue, but for sure it will make a lot of things easier to understand, e.g. why would the condition behave different in a multibranch job then in a normal job? please also see JENKINS-50622 |
