Thank you. I know about domain-specific languages, having programmed in Simula, GPSS, and Prolog, but I wonder why the Jenkins documentation references that Wikipedia page about DSL's, which does even mention Groovy, yet fails to reference a document describing the syntax of Groovy: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/#pipeline-syntax-overview That comfused me! If possible, will the maintaners please consider informing the readers that the declarative syntax is based on Groovy and direct them to the Groovy specification? > In fact, triple quote is documented at > http://groovy-lang.org/syntax.html#_triple_single_quoted_string > And also many "command" like "bat" you mentioned in the email are > just Groovy function and follow the Groovy rules about parameters > and how you can call them. > In the case of "bat" is you just pass one parameter is used as > script, as you pass more than one you need to specify who is what: > "bat script: "whatever", returnStout: true" Thank you. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ http://preview.tinyurl.com/qcy6mjc [archived] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
