The Jenkins pipeline is a collection of codes written in a Jenkins file, allows the Jenkins to operate in a sequence. It provides a platform to run each job simultaneously. The pipeline enables the workflow of the jobs by using the pipeline plug-in.
The installing process of pipeline plug-in is the same as that of other Jenkins plug-ins. Open The Jenkins in your web browser and go to the Manage The Jenkins page. Search “pipeline” plug-in in the available section and choose the option “install without restart” or “Download now and install after restart.” It will auto-install all related plug-ins related to it.
The Jenkins tool is used to deploy the product in the market by using continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) features. The Jenkins pipeline is used to continuously deploy the product continuously, and it also helps the developer to modify the code during the execution process.
In the pipeline process, the software is developed in a scalable, trustable and repeatable way.
There are three main attributes of The Jenkins pipeline i.e.
However, there are some other stages that can also be included:
The syntax using these three attributes is as follows:
The Jenkins pipeline can be written based on two syntaxes:
The syntax is:
Syntax:
You can write the code in a scripted pipeline in a flexible way. It has advanced scripting capability with higher flexibility, but it isn’t easy to start writing a code in a scripting pipeline.
It is easy to create the Jenkins pipeline in the Jenkins tool. You can create both scripted and declarative pipelines easily by clicking on the “new item” option available in The Jenkins dashboard. It requires login details, GitHub account details and coding skills for creating a pipeline. It will allow you to choose between the scripted and declarative pipeline process when you start creating a pipeline.
It is also very easy to run a pipeline project in Jenkins. This process will also be done from the Jenkins dashboard. You can run your pipeline by clicking on it, as it is available on your Jenkins dashboard. When you click on your job, you will get the “build now” option. The “build now” option will execute your pipeline, and it will also provide you the run status of your pipeline job. When your job is run successfully, it will come with a green shade in the dashboard, and if it fails, it will be in a red shade.
