Workflow: How to get entire workflow definition from SCM

[KARR, DAVID]

I haven't looked at an installation using the Workflow plugin, but I have a question or two.

I get the impression that the script used in a workflow job can be loaded from SCM, instead of hardcoded into the Jenkins job. How exactly do you specify that? I noticed the "load" workflow step, but that's not quite the same thing.

One of the components of the workflow system is a plugin that provides a global git repository where you can push your groovy build scripts.

https://github.com/jenkinsci/workflow-plugin/tree/master/cps-global-lib

This is really quite nice because you can develop your build workflow in groovy in a way that feels very good to me as a developer -- I started out with a single script that combined a few of the steps together, but very quickly started adding a JiraClient class and then JiraIssue class and then a GitHubCommitStatus class and a HipChatClient class and you can wrap everything up together in a way that makes the UI feel very clunky.

‘load’ indeed presumes at least a little “bootstrap” code, such as

node('some-label') {

  git '…'

  load 'flow.groovy'

}

The workflow-cps-global-lib provides an alternate approach, with Jenkins hosting the flow, but that is not necessarily what you want either.

https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-26101 tracks loading the complete script from a designated SCM source without any bootstrap code.

How awesome it would be actually to put gerrit inside instead of plain git?
