BlueOcean Pipeline and huge number of parallel steps

[Clément Gautier]

Hello there :)

We have in our company a build that launch a lot of tests on our code base and result in more that 400 paralell branches, each of them executed on a different slave node.

Actually we face an issue where pipeline can't display all the parallel branches: "Unable to display more"

We don't even want them to be rendered as separated steps, we just want them to be launched simultaneously.

The pipeline we have actually looks like this (The problem occurs on the Functional tests part):

Build --- Unit Tests --- Integration Tests --- Functional Tests ---

                     |                          |                              |

                  tool A                suite A                     matrix-A-A-batch 0

                  tool B                suite B                     matrix-A-A-batch 1

                  tool C                                                matrix-A-A-batch 2

                                                                           matrix-A-A-batch 3

                                                                            ....
                                                                           "Unable to display more"

 

I don't know if I this issues will fix my issue and how I can contribute on them:

* https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-41205

* https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-38442

Am I using Jenkins the good way ? I mean it is supposed to be able to handle a very large amount of slave nodes,

so I assume you can use all of them in the same pipeline if you have thousands of browser tests to be run on a large matrix right ?

Do you know if I could use something else than parallel that could fit?

Thanks a lot
