example pipeline

• this pipeline uses credentials and write it to a file: credentials.txt
• create a credentials under: http://localhost:8080/credentials/store/system/domain/_/newCredentials
  • in the example I used: jenkins_credential_0
• create a new job: http://localhost:8080/view/all/newJob
• paste pipeline code
  • based on: https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/examples/

// This shows a simple example of how to archive the build output artifacts.
node {
    stage "Create build output"
    
    // Make the output directory.
    sh "mkdir -p output"

    // Write an useful file, which is needed to be archived.
    writeFile file: "output/usefulfile.txt", text: "This file is useful, need to archive it."

    // Write an useless file, which is not needed to be archived.
    writeFile file: "output/uselessfile.md", text: "This file is useless, no need to archive it."

    writeFile file: "output/usefulfile.txt", text: "This file is useful, need to archive it."
    
    stage "credentials"
    withCredentials([usernamePassword(credentialsId: 'jenkins_credential_0', passwordVariable: 'bar', usernameVariable: 'foo')]) {
        writeFile file: "output/credentials.txt", text: bar
    }

    stage "Archive build output"
    
    // Archive the build output artifacts.
    archiveArtifacts artifacts: 'output/*.txt', excludes: 'output/*.md'
    
    stage "pwd"

    sh "ls -la ${pwd()}"    

    echo "done."
}
