How to build a pipeline as shown in blue oceans beta project page

Question

I am new to Jenkins and looking for ways to automate and visualise workflows. I am able to chain few workflows/jobs together.

I like to learn how to run workflows in parallel, like the picture shown in jenkins blue ocean beta page.

Many thanks !

Answer 1

Building Pipelines with parallel steps is well document in a few guides, I've found these to be the most effective places to find info for me personally:

• cloudbees.com
• jenkins pipeline examples

I've also answered questions on how to properly set it up here (I know, shameless).

For the fun it here is the pipeline groovy script to build out the example [obviously missing the actual build commands].

node('master') {
    stage('Build') {
        sh "echo Build"
    }
    stage('Test'){
      parallel (
        "JUnit": { 
            sh "echo JUnit"
        },
        "DBUnit": { 
            sh "echo DBUnit"
        },
        "Jasmine": { 
            sh "echo Jasmine"
        },
      )
    }
    stage('Browser Tests'){
      parallel (
        "Firefox": { 
            sh "echo Firefox"
        },
        "Edge": { 
            sh "echo Edge"
        },
        "Safari": { 
            sh "echo Safari"
        },
        "Chrome": { 
            sh "echo Chrome"
        },
      )
    }
    stage('Dev'){
        sh "echo Dev"
    }
    stage('Staging'){
        sh "echo Staging"
    }
    stage('Production'){
        sh "echo Production"
    }
}

UI in action

Cheers, and good luck.
