jenkins-script-wrapper

This shared Library attempts to workaround an issue in Jenkins where it is not possible to set at stepname for a script.

This means that if you have a bunch of scripts running, it will be hard to separate them.

This wrapper makes it possible to give a name to the step. It also supports returnStdout: true and returnStatus: true

Note

You probably want to fork this repo, instead of using this one directly.

2. Go to section "Global Pipeline Libraries"

6. Source code managment: Github 1. credentials: your credentials 2. owner: ael-computas (or your fork) 3. Repo: jenkins-script-wrapper (or your fork)

            sh script: 'echo the invisible script3', returnStdout: true
    }
    stage("With wrapper") {
            wrapper.script script: 'echo the invisible script', returnStdout: true, stepName: "description #1"
