Jenkins Pipeline Syntax Guide 📚

Jenkins Pipeline syntax is a powerful tool for defining the structure and behavior of your CI/CD workflows. It provides a clear and concise way to write pipelines using either Declarative or Scripted syntax. Here's a quick breakdown:

🛠️ Declarative Pipeline Syntax

  • Syntax Type: pipeline { ... }
  • Key Features:
    • Simpler structure with stages and steps
    • Built-in support for environment, parameters, and triggers
    • Easier to read and write for basic workflows
  • Example:
    pipeline {
      agent any
      stages {
        stage('Build') {
          steps {
            echo 'Building the application...'
          }
        }
      }
    }

📜 Scripted Pipeline Syntax

  • Syntax Type: node { ... }
  • Key Features:
    • More flexible for complex logic
    • Requires explicit script block for Groovy code
    • Supports advanced plugins and custom steps
  • Example:
    node {
      stage('Build') {
        echo 'Building the application...'
      }
    }
