We have a pipeline which generally looks like the following:
properties([parameters([
booleanParam(defaultValue: false, description: '', name: 'ARMv8')])])
pipeline {
agent any
stage('build') {
options {
skipDefaultCheckout true
}
when { expression { return params.ARMv8 } }
agent { label 'armv8' }
steps {
script {
sh "echo 'steps goes here'"
}
}
}
}
The main idea is to skip a build on specific agents unless the parameter is
set in `properties` section (which is checked in `when` statement).
Regardless, Jenkins tries to allocate agent anyways and ONLY THEN gives up
on `when` statement. Some agents may not be available the time a build
starts. This leads to a long waiting time while Jenkins tries to allocate
the agent that is offline.
It looks like the following in the logs:
[ARMv8] Still waiting to schedule task
[ARMv8] arm8-1 is offline
Is it possible to force skipping the agent allocation? I.e., check the
`when` statement first and continue with other steps IFF property is set to
true?
