If you are using a declarative syntax of Jenkinsfile to describe your building pipeline, you can use changeset condition to limit stage execution only to the case when specific files are changed. This is now a standard feature of Jenkins and does not require any additional configruation/software.
stages {
stage('Nginx') {
when { changeset "nginx/*"}
steps {
sh "make build-nginx"
sh "make start-nginx"
}
}
}
You can combine multiple conditions using anyOf or allOf keywords for OR or AND behaviour accordingly:
when {
anyOf {
changeset "nginx/**"
changeset "fluent-bit/**"
}
}
steps {
sh "make build-nginx"
sh "make start-nginx"
}
