When Jenkins stage get error then to do something?

Question

I want when some of the stages in the Jenkins pipeline get error then to have some options like asking for input, or print some message. For example in this pipeline error is in the stage 2 by executing not existing 'shit' (sh 'asdasd') node('master') { try { stage('stage1') { echo 'stage 1 succeeeded' } stage('stage2') { echo '1st task of stage 2 is cool' // this is the ERROR sh 'asdasd' } } finally { echo 'SUCCESS' } } My question is how ask for input IF error popup if some of the stages?

Answer 1

There are several posts that show how to capture errors using try - catch blocks inside anything, stages in this case: see e.g. this or this What you want additionally is define an user input in the "catch" case. In general, that is a bad idea, see this article describing why user inputs are dangerous in pipelines. But the article also offers a solution including timeouts. If really needed, code can be something like... node('master') { try { stage('stage1') { echo 'stage 1 succeeeded' } stage('stage2') { try { echo '1st task of stage 2 is cool' // this is the ERROR sh 'asdasd' } catch (errScript) { try { timeout(time: 60, unit: 'SECONDS') { // set desired timeout userInput = input( id: 'userInput', message: 'Press OK to continue', ) } } catch (err) { // timeout reached or user input def user = err.getCauses()[0].getUser() if('SYSTEM' == user.toString()) { // SYSTEM means timeout. // Do your timeout thing } else { // Evaluate your user input action } } } // catch (errScript) } } finally { echo 'SUCCESS' } Run code snippetExpand snippet
