That is Jenkins pipleine which is a sandboxed Groovy DSL. Most Groovy
rules still apply though.
As to your question and not having looked ever at how the DSL has been
implemented, then 'scm' is either field called 'scm' or a method called
'getScm()'.
You are right about 'checkout'. It will be a method by the same name.
'checkout(scm)' should achive the same result.
Stuff like stage("checkout") { ... } and dir("some-dir") { ...} are
usually just method calls of the format:
stage(String name, Closure configurator)
dir(String name, Closure configurator)

We use Groovy to run a Jenkins file in our Jenkins build. One stage
has these statements in it.
defmainScmDetails
stage("Checkout") {
mainScmDetails = checkout scm
dir("some-dir") {
git url: '[email protected]/path/project.git
<http://[email protected]/path/project.git>', credentialsId:
'some_creds', branch: 'develop'
}
}
Does this define a code block named mainScmDetails? Does the statement...
mainScmDetails = checkout scm
...call two functions, namely, checkout and scm?
Thanks,
Chris
