The following plugin provides functionality available through Pipeline-compatible steps. Read more about how to integrate steps into your Pipeline in the Steps section of the Pipeline Syntax page.

For a list of other such plugins, see the Pipeline Steps Reference page.

Pipeline: Milestone Step

milestone: The milestone step forces all builds to go through in order

By default, Pipeline builds can run concurrently.

The milestone step forces all builds to go through in order, so an older build will never be allowed pass a milestone (it is aborted) if a newer build already passed it.

In general this step grants:

  • Builds pass milestones in order (taking the build number as sorter field).
  • Older builds will not proceed (they are aborted) if a newer one already passed the milestone.
  • When a build passes a milestone, any older build that passed the previous milestone but not this one is aborted.
  • Once a build passes the milestone, it will never be aborted by a newer build that didn't pass the milestone yet.

  • ordinal

    An optional ordinal for the milestone. It is autogenerated if not explicitly set.

    Setting explicit milestone ordinals grants that each milestone can be univocally identified across builds even when script changes are made during a previous build. If you plan to add or remove milestone steps while there are running builds and trigger new builds before the previous ones finished, then you should set explicit milestone ordinals. Otherwise, let the step autogenerate them as it runs.

    • Type: int
  • label (optional)

    A label for the milestone. It's shown in the build log metadata.

    • Type: String
  • unsafe (optional)

    An optional flag to allow unsafe execution of the milestone step. Do not set unless you understand the risks.

    Currently this will allow the execution of a milestone step within a parallel step. It is assumed only 1 branch can contain a milestone step.

    • Type: boolean
