Jenkins input on declarative pipeline - jenkins

Question

may I ask if it is do-able if I can get the user input and run a script based on what was chosen by the user? the logic whould be
IF User choose Proceed THEN run a script (in my case promote or Blue/Green deployment)
IF User choose Abort THEN don't terminate the jenkins job, run a script (in my case rollback)
This is the script I'm using however I have no idea how to apply after validate stage
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Deploy') {
steps {
sh """#!/bin/bash +x
echo "performing sts assume role"
//SCRIPT-HERE//
echo "performing ansible deploy"
//SCRIPT-HERE//
"""
}
}
stage('validate') {
steps {
timeout(30) {
script {
input(message: 'Please validate, this job will automatically ABORTED after 30 minutes even if no user input provided', ok: 'Proceed')
}
}
}
}
}
}
One more issue I'm seeing is, although this pipeline script is running, The Proceed / Abort is not clickable on the jenkins job Console output, is it a bug? I'm referring to the image shown below
I was able to add nandilov's suggestion however it seems that the logic is still not applying, please advise on what is missed here
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Deploy') {
steps {
sh """#!/bin/bash +x
echo "performing sts assume role"
echo "performing ansible deploy"
"""
}
}
stage('validate') {
steps {
script {
env.flagError = "false"
try {
input(message: 'Please validate, this job will automatically ABORTED after 30 minutes even if no user input provided', ok: 'Proceed')
}catch(e){
println "input aborted or timeout expired, will try to rollback."
env.flagError = "true"
}
}
}
}
stage("If user selects Proceed"){
when{
expression { env.inputValue == "value1" }
}
steps{
sh """#!/bin/bash +x
echo "User selected proceed"
"""
}
}
stage("rollback if flag error true"){
when{
expression { env.inputValue == "value2" }
}
steps{
sh """#!/bin/bash +x
echo "User selected Abort"
"""
}
}
}
}
from the pipeline view it never triggered either one of the last two stages when choosing "Abort" or "Proceed"
These are the logs when choosing Abort or Proceed

Answer 1

If you want to have the job aborted and do something, you can try/catch it:
try{
input(message: 'Please validate, this job will automatically ABORTED after 30 minutes even if no user input provided', ok: 'Proceed')
}catch(e){
println "input aborted or timeout expired, will try to rollback."
// execute rollback
}
You also can do it in another stage:
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Deploy') {
steps {
sh """#!/bin/bash +x
echo "performing sts assume role"
echo "performing ansible deploy"
"""
}
}
stage('validate') {
steps {
script {
env.flagError = "false"
try {
input(message: 'Please validate, this job will automatically ABORTED after 30 minutes even if no user input provided', ok: 'Proceed')
}catch(e){
println "input aborted or timeout expired, will try to rollback."
env.flagError = "true"
}
}
}
}
stage("If user selects Proceed"){
when{
expression { env.flagError == "false" }
}
steps{
sh """#!/bin/bash +x
echo "User selected proceed"
"""
}
}
stage("rollback if flag error true"){
when{
expression { env.flagError == "true" }
}
steps{
sh """#!/bin/bash +x
echo "User selected Abort"
"""
}
}
}

Try with this, you will need to click on Proceed and then to choose between "deploy" and "rollback". The result we'll be store in an environment variable and you can use it as a condition on the next stages
stage('validate') {
steps {
timeout(30) {
script {
CHOICES = ["deploy", "rollback"];
env.yourChoice = input message: 'Please validate, this job will automatically ABORTED after 30 minutes even if no user input provided', ok : 'Proceed',id :'choice_id',
parameters: [choice(choices: CHOICES, description: 'Do you want to deploy or to rollback?', name: 'CHOICE'),
string(defaultValue: 'rollback', description: '', name: 'rollback value')]
}
}
}
}
}
stage('Deploy') {
when {
expression { env.yourChoice == 'deploy' }
}
steps {
...
}
}
stage('Rollback') {
when {
expression { env.yourChoice == 'rollback' }
}
steps {
...
}
}
