Jenkins_Build_Pipeline

Devops Tutorial 24 -​​ Jenkins​​ Build​​ Pipeline

What you will Learn:

  • Create​​ and​​ chain jobs

  • Setup​​ Build​​ pipeline​​ (install​​ Build​​ pipeline’​​ plugin)

  • Add ‘Build Pipeline’ view

  • Run pipeline

  • Configure pipeline

  • Open console for a job

  • Re-run a job in the pipeline

Create​​ and chain​​ jobs

Create 3 simple freestyle jobs

Select ‘Execute shell’ from the ‘Add​​ build step’ dropdown and enter​​ an echo statement, see below

Apply and save

Similarly create ‘DeployJb2’​​ 

Similarly create ‘TestJb2’​​ 

So we have created 3 jobs

Important note: Make sure that 3 jobs are running fine​​ individually

Chain jobs

We will now chain the 3 jobs. Configure DeployJb2​​ first

Select ‘Build after other projects are built’ checkbox

Enter ‘BuildJb2’ in the text field

Apply and Save

Similarly configure ‘TestJb2’.

So we have chained the 3 jobs.​​ 

To​​ validate the chaining,​​ manually​​ execute ‘BuildJb2.​​ 

Notice below that DeployJb2​​ gets executed​​ automatically​​ 

Similarly​​ TestJb2​​ gets executed​​ automatically

Install​​ Build pipeline’ plugin

Install​​ ‘Build​​ pipeline’ plugin

Important note:​​ Restart jenkins after installing plugin

Add ‘Build Pipeline’ view

Click + sign

Enter view name and select ‘Build Pipeline view’

Click Ok

Select Initial Job

Apply and Ok

You can see the view of last run (if any)

Run pipeline

Click ‘Run’ button

Refresh the page, you will see the new pipeline gets triggered

Refresh the page, notice that execution is over

Configure pipeline

Click Configure​​ 

Select 3 from the dropdown ‘No Of Displayed Builds’

Apply and Ok

You can now see last 3 builds displayed

If needed, you can click the link under a job to see the details

Open console for a job

You can also click the small black square window​​ ​​ to open the console for a respective job

If you don’t see the console window, click​​ ​​ and select ‘New Window’ from the dropdown ‘Console Output Link Style’, click Apply and Ok

Re-run a job in the pipeline

You can click the yellow coloured forward arrow​​ ​​ ​​ to re-run the job

When you click the arrow, the​​ job​​ gets triggered​​ on the same pipeline​​ 

Once complete, you would see the new build number (#6 as seen below) only on the job that was rerun. Other jobs still have old build number

Refresh the page, you would now see new build number on each job (#6 below)

So this is how we create a ‘Build pipeline’.
