Priority:	Critical
Reporter:	Hokwang Lee

Hi,

Is there a p4 way for below ?

Please refer to https://jenkins.io/doc/tutorials/build-a-multibranch-pipeline-project/

There's expression like

```

stage('a') {

when

{ branch 'dev' }

steps

{ <snip> }

```

How can I use for this in p4?

Re: how to use when branch keyword

Hello Hokwang Lee,

I have just tested and this seems to work with a multibranch pipeline. In the following only the branch 'main' exists:

 
                                                                pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Checkout') {
	    when {
	       branch 'BRANCH_DOES_NOT_EXIST'
	    }
            steps {
                echo 'Don't show this...'
            }
        }
        stage('Build') {
	when {
	       branch 'main'
	    }
            steps {
                echo 'Building...'
            }
        }
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                echo 'Testing...'
            }
        }
    }
}

 
                                                            

The relevant output I get in the console log is:

 
                                                                [Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] withEnv
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Checkout)
Stage "Checkout" skipped due to when conditional
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Build)
[Pipeline] echo
Building...
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Test)
[Pipeline] echo
Testing...
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // withEnv
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
 
                                                            

Note that the stage 'Checkout' is successfully skipped when I run this against 'main' because it is not 'BRANCH_DOES_NOT_EXIST'.
