Use 'input' in a non-blocking way

[Sean Liu]

Hi,

I am trying to setup a cd pipeline with Jenkins recently, and 'input' is 
used for manual approval  in the pipeline, but it seems that 'input' blocks 
the executor and won't free the executor util the build is manually 
approved or cancelled, the pipeline is something like this:

pipeline {
  agent any

  stages {
    stage('build docker container') {
      steps {
        sh 'docker-compose build'
        sh 'docker-compose run start_dependencies'
      }
    }

    stage('prepare database') {
      steps {
        sh 'docker-compose run --rm rails bundle exec rails db:create'
        sh 'docker-compose run --rm rails bundle exec rails db:migrate'
      }
    }

    stage('coding style check') {
      steps {
        sh 'docker-compose run --rm rails bundle exec rubocop'
      }
    }

    stage('automated tests') {
      steps {
        sh 'docker-compose run --rm rails bundle exec rspec'
      }
    }


    stage('deploy to staging') {
      when {
        branch "master"
      }
      
      steps {
        input 'deploy to staging?'
        lock(resource: 'staging-server', inversePrecedence: true) {
          sshagent (credentials: ['a99a855d-e3c8-484c-82ce-f9f6f0fd0ffc']) {
            sh 'docker-compose run -u $(id -u $USER):$(id -g $USER) -v 
/var/lib/jenkins:/var/lib/jenkins -v /etc/group:/etc/group:ro -v 
/etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro -v $SSH_AUTH_SOCK:/ssh-agent -e 
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/ssh-agent -e COMMIT=$GIT_COMMIT --rm rails bundle exec mina 
staging deploy'
          }
        }
      }
    }


  }

  post {
    always {
      sh 'docker-compose kill'
      sh 'docker-compose rm -fv'
    }
  }
}Enter code here...

I tried to pull the 'input' statement out of 'deploy to staging' like this:

stage('approve for deploying to staging') {
  steps {
    input 'deploy to staging?'
  }
}

it still doesn't work, is there a way to use 'input' in a non-blocking way?

Thanks!
