On a related note, when you want to automate something, you generally want to think on how you'd do it 'manually'. Here as Mark summarized perfectly, you just use 'sh' facility. Where plugins shine and where they can and should be used is when there's a interesting integration to avoid writing boilerplate in each of your pipeline (like checking out the right Sha for the thing that actually triggered the current build, etc.).
FWIW, it makes me think about the upcoming session of Michaël Pailloncy at Jenkins world next September in San Francisco: https://devopsworldjenkinsworld2018.sched.com/event/FCej/habits-tips-and-tricks-to-efficiently-automate-tasks-with-jenkins?iframe=yes&w=100%&sidebar=yes&bg=no# Cheers Le mer. 8 août 2018 à 04:12, Jack Brooks <jbro...@snapapp.com> a écrit : > Aha!
