Blue Ocean makes Jenkins, and continuous delivery, approachable to all team members. I’ve been working with it for the past several months, and I can tell...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. Declare Your Pipelines! Declarative Pipeline 1.0 is here! This is the fourth post in a series showing some of the cool features of Declarative Pipeline. In the previous post, we integrated several notification services into a Declarative Pipeline. We kept our Pipeline clean and easy to understand by using a shared library to make a custom step called sendNotifications that we called at...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. Declare Your Pipelines! Declarative Pipeline 1.0 is here! This is the third post in a series showing some of the cool features of Declarative Pipeline. In the previous post, we converted a Scripted Pipeline to a Declarative Pipeline, adding descriptive stages and post sections. In one of those post blocks, we included a placeholder for sending notifications. In this blog post, we’ll...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. Declare Your Pipelines! Declarative Pipeline 1.0 is here! This is the second post in a series showing some of the cool features of Declarative Pipeline. In the previous blog post, we created a simple Declarative Pipeline. In this blog post, we’ll go back and look at the Scripted Pipeline for the Publishing HTML Reports in Pipeline blog post. We’ll convert that Pipeline to...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. Declare Your Pipelines! Declarative Pipeline 1.0 is here! This is first in a series of blog posts that will show some of the cool features of Declarative Pipeline. For several of these posts, I’ll be revisiting some of my previous posts on using various plugins with (Scripted) Pipeline, and seeing how those are implemented in Declarative Pipeline. To start though, let’s get...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. Introduction With all the new developments in Jenkins Pipeline (and Declarative Pipeline on the horizon), it’s easy to forget what we did to create "pipelines" before Pipeline. There are number of plugins, some that have been around since the very beginning, that enable users to create "pipelines" in Jenkins. For example, basic job chaining worked well in many cases, and the Parameterized Trigger...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. The JUnit plugin is the go-to test result reporter for many Jenkins projects, but the it is not the only one available. The xUnit plugin is a viable alternative that supports JUnit and many other test result file formats. Introduction No matter the project, you need to gather and report test results. JUnit is one of the most widely supported formats...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. The videos of the sessions from Jenkins World 2016 are up! I’ve updated the wrap-up posts with links to each of the sessions mentioned: Jenkins Pipeline Scaling Jenkins Ask the Experts & Demos You can also find video from all the sessions here. Enjoy!...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. This year’s Jenkins World conference was a huge milestone for the Jenkins project - the first global event for the Jenkins community. It brought users and contributors together to exchange ideas on the current state of the project, celebrate accomplishments of the past year, and look ahead at all the exiting enhancements coming down the pipe(line). Contributor Summit To kick...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. As I mentioned in my previous post, Jenkins World brought together Jenkins users from organizations of all sizes. It also brought together Jenkins users of all skill levels; from beginners to experts (including to JAM organizers, board members, and long time contributors). A number of those experts also volunteered to staff the Open Source Hub’s "Ask the Experts" desk...
