Active Choices Reactive Reference Parameter in jenkins pipeline - jenkins

Question

I'm using the Active Choices Reactive Reference Parameter plugin in a dsl job here the code
parameters {
activeChoiceParam('choice1') {
description('select your choice')
choiceType('RADIO')
groovyScript {
script("return['aaa','bbb']")
fallbackScript('return ["error"]')
}
}
activeChoiceReactiveParam('choice2') {
description('select your choice')
choiceType('RADIO')
groovyScript {
script("if(choice1.equals("aaa")){return ['a', 'b']} else {return ['aaaaaa','fffffff']}")
fallbackScript('return ["error"]')
}
referencedParameter('choice1')
}
and it work's fine what i want now is how to use the activeChoiceReactiveParam in a jenkinsFile for pipeline job i did that :
properties(
[
[
$class : 'ParametersDefinitionProperty',
parameterDefinitions: [
[
$class : 'ChoiceParameterDefinition',
choices : 'aaa\nbbb',
description: 'select your choice : ',
name : 'choice1'
]
but how can i add the choice2 parameter !!!

Answer 1

I was in need of the similar solution.
I did not find any related answers/examples specific to Active Choices plugin anywhere in my google search.
With some R & D, finally I was able to get this done for a pipeline project.
Here is the Jenkinsfile code
properties([
parameters([
[$class: 'ChoiceParameter',
choiceType: 'PT_SINGLE_SELECT',
description: 'Select the Env Name from the Dropdown List',
filterLength: 1,
filterable: true,
name: 'Env',
randomName: 'choice-parameter-5631314439613978',
script: [
$class: 'GroovyScript',
fallbackScript: [
classpath: [],
sandbox: false,
script:
'return[\'Could not get Env\']'
],
script: [
classpath: [],
sandbox: false,
script:
'return["Dev","QA","Stage","Prod"]'
]
]
],
[$class: 'CascadeChoiceParameter',
choiceType: 'PT_SINGLE_SELECT',
description: 'Select the Server from the Dropdown List',
filterLength: 1,
filterable: true,
name: 'Server',
randomName: 'choice-parameter-5631314456178619',
referencedParameters: 'Env',
script: [
$class: 'GroovyScript',
fallbackScript: [
classpath: [],
sandbox: false,
script:
'return[\'Could not get Environment from Env Param\']'
],
script: [
classpath: [],
sandbox: false,
script:
''' if (Env.equals("Dev")){
return["devaaa001","devaaa002","devbbb001","devbbb002","devccc001","devccc002"]
}
else if(Env.equals("QA")){
return["qaaaa001","qabbb002","qaccc003"]
}
else if(Env.equals("Stage")){
return["staaa001","stbbb002","stccc003"]
}
else if(Env.equals("Prod")){
return["praaa001","prbbb002","prccc003"]
}
'''
]
]
]
])
])
pipeline {
environment {
vari = ""
}
agent any
stages {
stage ("Example") {
steps {
script{
echo 'Hello'
echo "${params.Env}"
echo "${params.Server}"
if (params.Server.equals("Could not get Environment from Env Param")) {
echo "Must be the first build after Pipeline deployment. Aborting the build"
currentBuild.result = 'ABORTED'
return
}
echo "Crossed param validation"
} }
}
}
}
Even you can use "Active Choices Reactive Reference Parameter" with below definitions and rest of the code, follow as in above example.
[$class: 'DynamicReferenceParameter',
choiceType: 'ET_FORMATTED_HTML',
description: 'These are the details in HTML format',
name: 'DetailsInHTML',
omitValueField: false,
randomName: 'choice-parameter-5633384460832175',
referencedParameters: 'Env, Server',
script: [
$class: 'ScriptlerScript',
parameters: [[$class: 'org.biouno.unochoice.model.ScriptlerScriptParameter', name: '', value: '$value']],
scriptlerScriptId: 'script.groovy'
]
]
Note: Ensure you have "," delimiter between multiple parameter definition blocks.
Hope this helps someone.

Answer 2

Instead of using the Active Choices Reactive Reference Parameter i did below and it's working fine !!!
node('slave') {
def choice1
def choice2
stage ('Select'){
choice1 = input( id: 'userInput', message: 'Select your choice', parameters: [ [\$class: 'ChoiceParameterDefinition', choices: 'aa\nbb', description: '', name: ''] ])
if(choice1.equals("aa")){
choice2 = input( id: 'userInput', message: 'Select your choice', parameters: [ [\$class: 'ChoiceParameterDefinition', choices: 'yy\nww', description: '', name: ''] ])
}else{
choice2 = input( id: 'userInput', message: 'Select your choice', parameters: [ [\$class: 'ChoiceParameterDefinition', choices: 'gg\nkk', description: '', name: ''] ])
}
}
}

Answer 3

Thanks a ton #Yogeesh. It helped a lot.
In my case, the requirement was to select multiple instead of one. So, used choiceType: 'PT_CHECKBOX', and it served the purpose.
properties([
parameters([
[$class: 'ChoiceParameter',
choiceType: 'PT_SINGLE_SELECT',
description: 'Select the Env Name from the Dropdown List',
filterLength: 1,
filterable: true,
name: 'Env',
randomName: 'choice-parameter-5631314439613978',
script: [
$class: 'GroovyScript',
fallbackScript: [
classpath: [],
sandbox: false,
script:
'return[\'Could not get Env\']'
],
script: [
classpath: [],
sandbox: false,
script:
'return["Dev","QA","Stage","Prod"]'
]
]
],
[$class: 'CascadeChoiceParameter',
choiceType: 'PT_CHECKBOX',
description: 'Select Servers',
filterLength: 1,
filterable: true,
name: 'Server',
randomName: 'choice-parameter-5631314456178619',
referencedParameters: 'Env',
script: [
$class: 'GroovyScript',
fallbackScript: [
classpath: [],
sandbox: false,
script:
'return[\'Could not get Environment from Env Param\']'
],
script: [
classpath: [],
sandbox: false,
script:
''' if (Env.equals("Dev")){
return["devaaa001","devaaa002","devbbb001","devbbb002","devccc001","devccc002"]
}
else if(Env.equals("QA")){
return["qaaaa001","qabbb002","qaccc003"]
}
else if(Env.equals("Stage")){
return["staaa001","stbbb002","stccc003"]
}
else if(Env.equals("Prod")){
return["praaa001","prbbb002","prccc003"]
}
'''
]
]
]
])

Answer 4

I made the initial sample work for me.
I had to change ' for " in the return statement return ["a", "b"] and " by ' in the script statement script(' ')
job("MyJob") {
description ("This job creates ....")
//def targetEnvironment=""
parameters {
activeChoiceParam('choice1') {
description('select your choice')
choiceType('RADIO')
groovyScript {
script('return["aaa","bbb"]')
fallbackScript('return ["error"]')
}
}
activeChoiceReactiveParam('choice2') {
description('select your choice')
choiceType('RADIO')
groovyScript {
script(' if(choice1.equals("aaa")) { return ["a", "b"] } else {return ["aaaaaa","fffffff"] } ')
fallbackScript('return ["error"]')
}
referencedParameter('choice1')
}
}
}

Answer 5

Is there any way that we can put the script logic in a function and call
for example:
[$class: 'CascadeChoiceParameter',
choiceType: 'PT_CHECKBOX',
description: 'Select Servers',
filterLength: 1,
filterable: true,
name: 'Server',
randomName: 'choice-parameter-5631314456178619',
referencedParameters: 'Env',
script: [
$class: 'GroovyScript',
fallbackScript: [
classpath: [],
sandbox: false,
script:
'return[\'Could not get Environment from Env Param\']'
],
script: [
classpath: [],
sandbox: false,
script:
''' if (Env.equals("Dev")){
return["devaaa001","devaaa002","devbbb001","devbbb002","devccc001","devccc002"]
}
else if(Env.equals("QA")){
return["qaaaa001","qabbb002","qaccc003"]
}
else if(Env.equals("Stage")){
return["staaa001","stbbb002","stccc003"]
}
else if(Env.equals("Prod")){
return["praaa001","prbbb002","prccc003"]
}
'''
]
]
]```
define below code in funciton and call ?
if (Env.equals("Dev")){
return["devaaa001","devaaa002","devbbb001","devbbb002","devccc001","devccc002"]
}
else if(Env.equals("QA")){ return["qaaaa001","qabbb002","qaccc003"] } else if(Env.equals("Stage")){ return["staaa001","stbbb002","stccc003"] } else if(Env.equals("Prod")){ return["praaa001","prbbb002","prccc003"]
}

Answer 6

Try something like that:
properties(
[
[
$class : 'ParametersDefinitionProperty',
parameterDefinitions: [
[
$class : 'ChoiceParameterDefinition',
choices : 'aaa\nbbb',
description: 'select your choice : ',
name : 'choice1'
],
[
$class : 'ChoiceParameterDefinition',
choices : 'ccc\nddd',
description: 'select another choice : ',
name : 'choice2'
]
