I have a jenkins pipeline with a series of stages. I would like to be able to obtain a report of the tasks that have been executed within the pipeline, so that errors can be traced.
I have seen that there are tools like Allure or HTML Publisher, but I am not getting results with them.
I use jenkinsfile to define the stages.
Thanks

I'am using Jenkins and I would like to have statistics of all builds executions.
I'am already using the plugin "build-metric" but pipeline jobs are not included in the statistics.
How to include pipeline jobs in the result of this plugin ? Or do you know an another plugin which include pipeline job ?
Trying to investigate Jenkins build time by node I noticed that when we switched to using jenkins-timeline our jobs stopped filling in the "Agent" field on the "Build Time Trend" page.
Old pre-pipeline jobs show the agent name in that list, but new pipeline jobs just show a blank agent field.
If I go into an individual pipeline build, I can look in the Console Output and find the Running on line to work out which agent was used, just as I can see the Building remotely on line in the console output of non pipeline builds.
Is there a way to get pipeline builds to fill in the Agent field with the machine the job was actually run on?
I believe Jenkins does not collect this information when running Pipeline jobs, as Pipeline job may run on many agents in parallel.
We wanted to have that information so we run an instance of InfluxDB and send metrics there. These metrics include the agent name, so this is available for analysis later.
I am using jenkins pipeline and my Jenkinsfile has several stages and jobs. Is there any way to run specific job outside of jenkins pipeline ?
Example: Let's say one of the stage is to do "scp build artifacts to remote location". For some reason this got failed and if at all I want to run rest of the jobs manually out of jenkins pipeline, how can I do that ?
I am least interested to invoke a new build. So can we run remaining jobs after failure outside of jenkins pipeline manually ?
You may be able to do it by writing unit test cases to your Jenkinsfile and test them as a maven project. This may or may not solve your problem without looking at your entire problem but if you can reorganize your logic to achieve 100% test coverage then it is doable. You can find more information about writing test cases of Jenkins pipelines here
I had some jenkins standalone jobs to build, package and deploy. Now I am connecting them and making 'build' job trigger 'package' job , and 'package' job to trigger 'deploy' job and am passing the required parameters between them.I can also see them neatly in pipeline view.
My question is, can this technically be called a pipeline? Or can I call it a pipeline only if I use pipeline plugin and write groovy script?
Thanks
p.s: Please do not devote this question. It is a sincere question for which I am not able to find the right answer. I want to be technically correct.
In Jenkins context, a pipeline is a job that defines a workflow using pipeline DSL (here, based on Groovy). A pipeline aims to define a bunch of steps (e.g. build + package + deploy in your case) in a single place, allows to define a complex workflow (e.g. parallel steps, input step, try/catch instructions) that can be both replayed and versionned (because it can be saved to git). For more information you should read Jenkins official pipeline documentation that explains in details what a pipeline is.
The kind of jobs you are currently using are called freestyle jobs, and even if they do define a "flow" (by chaining jobs together), they cannot be called pipelines jobs.
In short, pipelines are jobs that use pipeline plugin and groovy script syntax to define the whole application lifecycle, and standard Jenkins 1.x jobs are called freestyle jobs.
I've just started working with the Workflow plugin.
The set-up I have currently consists of a Workflow script that uses the build step to basically define a pipeline made up of multiple downstream jobs.
This is working well but their there isn't really any link between the output of Workflow build and the output from all the downstream builds, is their a way to either,
Link from the Workflow project build output to all the corresponding downstream builds.
Capture the console output of the downstream jobs and include it in the output of the Workflow job.
I'm hoping with either of these options it will be possible to see the output from the whole pipeline via the Workflow job output.
IMO, the intention of Workflow is to replace pipelines of various Jenkins jobs with just a single job. This may be why Workflow doesn't make any significant effort to link to downstream jobs. I've been converting my "pipelines" to monolithic Workflow jobs, and really appreciating the fact that all the actions are more tightly grouped together.
Link from the Workflow project build output to all the corresponding downstream builds.
PR 218 under review as of this writing.
Capture the console output of the downstream jobs and include it in the output of the Workflow job.
