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
andsteps
- Built-in support for
environment
,parameters
, andtriggers
- Easier to read and write for basic workflows
- Simpler structure with
- 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...' } }
