Declarative Agent Declaration Skips Default Checkout

[ghost]

It appears that when defining an agent using the declarative syntax, the default checkout functionality that comes with declarative pipelines is disabled.

I suspect the issue might be in com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.amazonecs.pipeline.ECSDeclarativeAgentScript but can't be certain. That class appears to import org.jenkinsci.plugins.pipeline.modeldefinition.agent.CheckoutScript but does not do anything with it.

There is a simple enough workaround (explicitly disable default checkout and add a checkout stage):

pipeline {
  agent {
    ecs {
      inheritFrom 'my-base-agent-label'
      label 'my-custom-agent-label'
    }
  }

  options {
    skipDefaultCheckout()
  }

  stages {
    stage ('Checkout') {
      steps {
        checkout scm
      }
    }

    ...more stages for the pipeline...

  }
}

Obviously it would be preferred though if the default checkout functionality was preserved when using a declarative definition for an ECS agent.

Thanks for reporting.

I guess that CheckoutScript.doCheckout(script, describable, describable.customWorkspace) is missing inside the script.node() block

There should be a beta of 1.21 in the next few minutes maybe you can check if its still there. i remember there were some changes

Looks like 1.21 beta did not fix it, I have sent PR #115 to address it
