Is it possible to make a mix job with Freestyle and Pipeline ?

[Eldad Cohen]

Hi,

This requirement have raised since there is no support for TFS plugin with pipeline. My project is using TFSVS code.

Thanks

You can use pipeline and orchestrate Freestyle jobs:

- https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/pipeline-build-step/#build-build-a-job

For instance, see the below declarative pipeline snippet:

pipeline {

    agent any

    stages {

        stage('Build TFSVS') {
            steps {

             build job: 'YourFreeStyleJob'

            }
        }

    }

}

You can see further examples in the below url:

- https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/examples/#trigger-job-on-all-nodes

Probably you can combine JobDSL and Pipeline to code your Jenkins Jobs/Pipelines 

I hope it helps.

Cheers

Thanks on the detailed answer.
Is it a good practice ?

[Eldad Cohen]

Hi,

What is the best practice to work on the freestyle workspace , since the freestyle job is doing a checkout of the code via TFSVS.

Do I need to use   a Custom workspace or to copy all workspace ?

Thanks
