Aggregate Builds - Scripted Pipeline Syntax

The build-info published to Artifactory can include multiple modules representing different build steps. As shown earlier in this section, you just need to pass the same buildInfo instance to all the methods that need it (server.upload for example).

What happens however if your build process runs on multiple machines or it is spread across different time periods? How do you aggregate all the build steps into one build-info?

You have the option of creating and publishing a separate build-info for each segment of the build process, and then aggregating all those published builds into one build-info. The end result is one build-info which references other, previously published build-infos.

In the following example, our pipeline script publishes two build-info instances to Artifactory:

def buildInfo1 = Artifactory.newBuildInfo()
buildInfo1.name = 'my-app-linux'
buildInfo1.number = '1'
server.publishBuildInfo buildInfo1

def buildInfo2 = Artifactory.newBuildInfo()
buildInfo2.name = 'my-app-windows'
buildInfo2.number = '1'
server.publishBuildInfo buildInfo2

At this point, we have two build-infos stored in Artifactory. Now let's create our final build-info, which references the previous two.

def finalBuildInfo = Artifactory.newBuildInfo()
server.buildAppend(finalBuildInfo, 'my-app-linux', '1')
server.buildAppend(finalBuildInfo, 'my-app-windows', "1")
server.publishBuildInfo finalBuildInfo

'finalBuildInfo' includes two modules, which reference'my-app-linux' and 'my-app-windows'.
