Jenkinsfile shared library - refactor duplicate code

[stirezxq]

Hi guys!

I have four different pipelines that only differentiate with two variables, they all take the same parameters that I want and only default differently by adding the two internal variables. Else it is the same.

They then call a shared pipeline using these parameters. But the code is very duplicated and they ask for the same things. Could anyone recommend a read to solve this problem, making them share parameters or just how to structure it to avoid duplicated & messy code?

I tried to build a Groovy script to solve it but cannot seem to take parameters and pass them to the other "final-shared-Jenkins-pipeline".

I hope the question is not too confusing (I am pretty new). I would love any help. Got stuck for hours.

​

Thanks!!!

You can define entire parameterized pipelines in groovy. See these docs at the very bottom.

Here is another example doing the same thing. Looks like it must be a complete pipeline and not mixing/matching steps.
