Jenkins Pipeline with Matrix Axes - Pick Axes before running job?
Using Jenkins Pipeline script and the `matrix` syntax, I can add multiple values for one axis, so multiple jobs run and can use that value to pull in an ENV file for example.
However, there might be times when I only want to run the job for one or two of the axis values.
I think I need to use the `extendedChoice` parameter, which will provide a list of checkboxes, but I can't find anything online about how to plug that into the `matrix` part of my pipeline script.
Here is an example of what I have so far
```pipeline {
agent none
parameters {
extendedChoice multiSelectDelimiter: ',', name: 'CLIENT', quoteValue: false, saveJSONParameterToFile: false, type: 'PT_CHECKBOX', value: 'client1,client2,client3', visibleItemCount: 20
gitParameter branchFilter: 'origin/(.*)', defaultValue: 'develop', name: 'BRANCH', type: 'PT_BRANCH'
}
stages {
stage('Build') {
matrix {
agent any
axes {
axis {
name 'CLIENT'
values 'client1', 'client2', 'client3'
}
}
stages {
stage('Running job') {
steps {
echo "Job running for ${CLIENT}"
}
}
stage('Checkout') {
steps {
git branch: "${params.BRANCH}", url: 'git@github.com:my-username/jenkins-pipeline-test.git', credentialsId: 'Jenkins EC2'
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
this script lets me pick a branch from my repo, but currently the checkbox list provided by `extendedChoice` doesn't do anything, and the job runs 3 times for each "client"
