Yes/NO User Input in Jenkinsfile
The method input
within the Jenkinsfile
suspends the build and waits infinitely for the user
input with configurable options.
A Yes / No dialog waits for user input and returns true
/ false
with the following code snippet:
def doesJavaRock = input(message: 'Do you like Java?', ok: 'Yes',
parameters: [booleanParam(defaultValue: true,
description: 'If you like Java, just push the button',name: 'Yes?')])
echo "Java rocks?:" + doesJavaRock
See you at Java EE Workshops at MUC Airport, particularly at the Java EE CI/CD, Testing and Quality workshop
I'd suggest to never do that without enclosing it inside a 'timeout' block ; or you have chances to block your server/build nodes ; can be problematic on an enterprise installation.
In order to have a default handling on timeout follow instructions on this support ticket https://support.cloudbees.com/hc/en-us/articles/226554067-Pipeline-How-to-add-an-input-step-with-timeout-that-continues-if-timeout-is-reached-using-a-default-value
A good hint also would be to send an email/SMS/notification to people who have to act/react before blocking the pipeline.
