Generated a declarative Jenkinsfile with 4 stage(s).

How it works

  • Declared the docker agent using node:20-alpine.
  • Emitted stages: checkout, build, test, deploy.
  • Guarded every stage with a branch condition for "main".
  • Added a post/always block.
  • The pipeline is a starting point: review the agent and steps for your Jenkins setup.
  • No credential is written into the file; bind Jenkins credentials in the UI.

Methodology

  1. Emit a `pipeline {}` block with the selected agent declaration.
  2. Emit each selected stage with an optional branch guard and the matching steps.
  3. Append the optional post/always block and close the pipeline.

Usage

  1. Choose the Jenkins agent and, for docker, the image.
  2. Select the pipeline stages.
  3. Run the generator and copy the result into a Jenkinsfile.

Examples

These are examples, not current values: they use fixed inputs, while the interactive tool computes live results in your browser.

Docker agent with test and deploy

jsonSelect to copy
{
  "agent": "docker",
  "dockerImage": "node:20-alpine",
  "language": "node",
  "stages": [
    "checkout",
    "build",
    "test",
    "deploy"
  ],
  "branch": "main",
  "post": true
}

Plain agent with checkout

jsonSelect to copy
{
  "agent": "any",
  "dockerImage": "",
  "language": "none",
  "stages": [
    "checkout"
  ],
  "branch": "",
  "post": false
}

Limitations

Declarative vs scripted pipelines

The declarative pipeline uses a fixed `pipeline { agent; stages { … } post { … } }` structure. It is more constrained than the scripted Groovy form but is easier to review and less prone to accidental side effects.

The generator emits only declarative syntax and never interpolates an unchecked string into a shell step.

Frequently asked questions

What is a declarative pipeline?
Jenkins offers a declarative syntax (`pipeline { … }`) with a fixed structure of agent, stages and post blocks. It is stricter and easier to read than the scripted syntax, and it is what this generator emits.
Why is there no deployment command?
Deployment is environment-specific, so the deploy stage contains a clearly labelled placeholder you replace.
