So I now have a handful of pipeline scripts all reusing some global methods, all of which I pasted into each script, so I've started to set up a shared library to avoid duplication.
I'm using https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/shared-libraries/ as my implementation guide. My questions have to do with the following block: The vars directory hosts scripts that define global variables accessible > from Pipeline. The basename of each *.groovy file should be a Groovy (~ > Java) identifier, conventionally camelCased. The matching *.txt, if > present, can contain documentation, processed through the system’s > configured markup formatter (so may really be HTML, Markdown, etc., though > the txt extension is required). The first thing I need to define isn't what you might call a "global variable", but a method. I know they are the same thing, but I think this could be clearer to people who are perhaps less than experts if this described "global variables or methods". I'll submit that suggestion in a PR, but that's not quite what I'm asking about here. I'm wondering about this "matching *.txt" file. It says it "can contain documentation, ...". The problem is, this page says nothing about how that documentation is used or presented. How is this file actually used? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
