Deeper recipes split out of jenkinsfile-test-stages SKILL.md:
serializing shared infrastructure, injecting environment plus
masked credentials, and scheduling / multi-branch behavior.
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Integration') {
steps {
lock(resource: 'shared-test-database') {
sh 'npm run test:integration'
}
}
}
}
}lock(...) uses the Lockable Resources Plugin to serialize
access to shared resources (test DB, license-locked tool, etc.).
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
CI = 'true'
NODE_ENV = 'test'
}
stages {
stage('Test') {
steps {
withCredentials([string(credentialsId: 'npm-auth-token', variable: 'NODE_AUTH_TOKEN')]) {
sh 'npm ci && npm test'
}
}
}
}
}withCredentials([...]) masks secrets in build logs.
pipeline {
agent any
triggers {
cron('0 4 * * *') // daily at 4 AM
pollSCM('*/15 * * * *') // poll every 15 min (or use webhook)
}
options {
timeout(time: 30, unit: 'MINUTES')
timestamps()
ansiColor('xterm')
buildDiscarder(logRotator(numToKeepStr: '20'))
}
stages { /* ... */ }
}Per-branch behavior via Multibranch Pipeline job type (separate config in Jenkins UI).
