I am trying to get a Jenkins (2.204.2) declarative pipeline to run parallel stages generated into a map on different machines. I am aware it can be done by mixing in the script block and I have done it that way in the past, but from documentation and other Stack____ questions I cannot figure out why this format does not work.
I have stripped everything down as far as possible and I am trying to just create the map statically outside the pipeline to figure out the syntax I need.
#!/usr/bin/env groovy def map = [:] map['Passed Stage'] = { stage("Passed Map Inner Stage"){ agent{ label "nodeLabel" } steps{ echo "PASSED MAP STEP" } } } pipeline { agent { label "nodeLabel" } stages { stage("Non map stage"){ agent{ label "nodeLabel" } steps{ echo "NON MAP STEP" } } stage("Direct Map Outer Parallel Stage"){ parallel{ direct : stage("Direct Map Inner Stage"){ agent{ label "nodeLabel" } steps{ echo "DIRECT MAP STEP" } } } } stage("Passed Map Outer Parallel Stage"){ parallel{ map } } } } The first two stage methods work if I comment out the mapped one but "Passed Map Outer Parallel Stage" always fails with:
Running in Durability level: MAX_SURVIVABILITY org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: WorkflowScript: 33: Expected a stage @ line 33, column 23. parallel{ map } ^ WorkflowScript: 33: No stages specified @ line 33, column 13. parallel{ map } ^ WorkflowScript: 33: No stages specified @ line 33, column 13. parallel{ map } ^ 3 errors at org.codehaus.groovy.control.ErrorCollector.failIfErrors(ErrorCollector.java:310) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit.applyToPrimaryClassNodes(CompilationUnit.java:1085) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit.doPhaseOperation(CompilationUnit.java:603) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit.processPhaseOperations(CompilationUnit.java:581) at org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit.compile(CompilationUnit.java:558) at groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader.doParseClass(GroovyClassLoader.java:298) at groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader.parseClass(GroovyClassLoader.java:268) at groovy.lang.GroovyShell.parseClass(GroovyShell.java:688) at groovy.lang.GroovyShell.parse(GroovyShell.java:700) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsGroovyShell.doParse(CpsGroovyShell.java:142) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsGroovyShell.reparse(CpsGroovyShell.java:127) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsFlowExecution.parseScript(CpsFlowExecution.java:561) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsFlowExecution.start(CpsFlowExecution.java:522) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowRun.run(WorkflowRun.java:327) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:97) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:427) Finished: FAILURE The stage format seems fine from everything I've spent reading all day, and passing the same stage directly to parallel outside the map works fine.
What am I missing here? why won't parallel accept my map? Does declarative parallel only accept stages statically passed? Is my Jenkins version too low?
