Issue
I have a Jenkins jobs that runs as so (very simplified but the structure is there):
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
node('my_label'){
timestamps{
build()
postBuild()
}
}
def build(){
parallel{
flavorABuild: {
if(condtionA){
node(my_label){
stage("build flavor a"){
sh buildcommand
}
}
}
}
flavorBBuild: {
if(condtionB){
node(my_label){
stage("build flavor B"){
sh buildcommand
}
}
}
}
flavorCBuild: {
if(condtionC){
node(my_label){
stage("build flavor C"){
sh buildcommand
}
}
}
}
}
}
This works fine for my purposes as far as functionality goes, but when any of those conditions (build parameter check boxes) are not checked for building a specific flavor, that build still shows up in my BlueOcean view as a parallel build step just with no actions in it (automatically succeeded).
Is there a better/cleaner builtin way to generate conditional parallel builds? All suggestions welcome, however I am trying to avoid adding more plugins.
Solution
You can simply omit adding the stages to the parallel execution map. Refer to the following.
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
node('my_label'){
timestamps{
parallel getParallelStages()
}
}
def getParallelStages() {
def stageMap = [:]
if(ConditionA) {
stageMap['flavorABuild'] = { node(my_label){
stage("build flavor a"){
sh buildcommand
}
}
}
}
if(ConditionB) {
stageMap['flavorBBuild'] = { node(my_label){
stage("build flavor B"){
sh buildcommand
}
}
}
}
return stageMap
}
