I have a jenkinsfile dropped into the root of my project and would like to pull in a groovy file for my pipeline and execute it. The only way that I've been able to get this to work is to create a separate project and use the fileLoader.fromGit
command. I would like to do
def pipeline = load 'groovy-file-name.groovy'
pipeline.pipeline()
If your Jenkinsfile
and groovy file in one repository and Jenkinsfile
is loaded from SCM you have to do:
Example.Groovy
def exampleMethod() {
//do something
}
def otherExampleMethod() {
//do something else
}
return this
JenkinsFile
node {
def rootDir = pwd()
def example = load "${rootDir}@script/Example.Groovy "
example.exampleMethod()
example.otherExampleMethod()
}
You have to do checkout scm
(or some other way of checkouting code from SCM) before doing load
.
Thanks @anton and @Krzysztof Krasori, It worked fine if I combined checkout scm
and exact source file
Example.Groovy
def exampleMethod() {
println("exampleMethod")
}
def otherExampleMethod() {
println("otherExampleMethod")
}
return this
JenkinsFile
node {
// Git checkout before load source the file
checkout scm
// To know files are checked out or not
sh '''
ls -lhrt
'''
def rootDir = pwd()
println("Current Directory: " + rootDir)
// point to exact source file
def example = load "${rootDir}/Example.Groovy"
example.exampleMethod()
example.otherExampleMethod()
}
If you have pipeline which loads more than one groovy file and those groovy files also share things among themselves:
JenkinsFile.groovy
def modules = [:]
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('test') {
steps {
script{
modules.first = load "first.groovy"
modules.second = load "second.groovy"
modules.second.init(modules.first)
modules.first.test1()
modules.second.test2()
}
}
}
}
}
first.groovy
def test1(){
//add code for this method
}
def test2(){
//add code for this method
}
return this
second.groovy
import groovy.transform.Field
@Field private First = null
def init(first) {
First = first
}
def test1(){
//add code for this method
}
def test2(){
First.test2()
}
return this
Ciao, very useful thread, had the same problem, solved following you.
My problem was: Jenkinsfile
-> call a first.groovy
-> call second.groovy
Here my solution:
Jenkinsfile
node {
checkout scm
//other commands if you have
def runner = load pwd() + '/first.groovy'
runner.whateverMethod(arg1,arg2)
}
first.groovy
def first.groovy(arg1,arg2){
//whatever others commands
def caller = load pwd() + '/second.groovy'
caller.otherMethod(arg1,arg2)
}
NB: args are optional, add them if you have or leave blank.
Hope this could helps further.
