Issue
We have our shared libraries on gitlab called mainlibrary and it has a lot of groovy files.
Example in mainlibrary gitlab repo we have the following files.
startup_pipeline.groovy
cleanup_pipeline.groovy
In one of our Jenkins job we need to include multiple groovy files in the Jenkinsfile. Is this possible?
This is how the Jenkinsfile looks like:
@Library('mainlibrary')_
startup_pipeline(email:'[email protected]')
Can I include the second groovy function file into this Jenkinsfile like this?
@Library('mainlibrary')_
startup_pipeline(email:'[email protected]'),
cleanup_pipeline(email:'[email protected]')
Solution
Considering the cleanup_pipeline.groovy is located under the vars folder and your code already has a complete declaration inside, your example may work, and the second file can be included. The only modification is the extra comma:
@Library('mainlibrary')_
startup_pipeline(email:'[email protected]')
cleanup_pipeline(email:'[email protected]')
Or can be under src and imported, but I never used this approach.
Usually, I keep the main logic inside vars, and other complex things go to src.
Based on Jenkins documentation, see more in Directory structure and Defining custom steps.
Video step by step building a shared library, you can build and test something similar if you are not sure about the structure.
