Can System Groovy Choice Parameter be defined globally?

[Victoria Kozel]

I need to define same System Groovy Choice Parameter in multiple Jenkins jobs. I wonder if there is a way to avoid copying the script in all those jobs, and maybe define the script as a global parameter just once - same way as Global Choice Parameter from same plugin is defined. If you have an answer or an idea please share :)

Thank you!!

Hi there,

I don't know what plugin you are using exactly. There are different approaches as far as I see:

1) https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Active+Choices+Plugin plugin supports the scriptler plugin, that's another way of centralising those scripts.

2) if you are tied to that particular Groovy Choice Parameter then by storing those scripts in the master filesystem and

a) using http://groovy.codehaus.org/api/groovy/lang/GroovyShell.html as suggested:

b) using the 'evaluate' method as suggested

If I recall correctly I used to use the evaluate function a few years ago:

- http://docs.groovy-lang.org/2.4.7/html/gapi/groovy/lang/Script.html#evaluate(java.lang.String)

I hope it helps
