Individual Pipeline Jobs
The most straight forward way test out a pipeline template is to create a Pipeline job in Jenkins.
Select the Jenkins Templating Engine Pipeline Definition Option
A Jenkins Templating Engine pipeline definition is made available once the plugin is installed.
Configure the Pipeline
After selecting the Jenkins Templating Engine definition, you’ll be able to configure your Pipeline Template and Pipeline Configuration.
The Example
The example configuration above assumes you have configured a Library Source that has a maven and sonarqube library contributing the unit_test, build, and static_code_analysis steps.
The pipeline configuration defines a Stage called continuous_integration which invokes the steps defined, in order.
Then, in the Pipeline Template, you will be able to invoke the continuous_integration stage that was defined.
