shellExecute

Step executes defined script

Description

Step executes defined script provided in the 'sources' parameter

Usage

We recommend to define values of step parameters via .pipeline/config.yml file.
In this case, calling the step is essentially reduced to defining the step name.
Calling the step can be done either in an orchestrator specific way (e.g. via a Jenkins library step) or on the command line.

JenkinsCommand Line

library('piper-lib-os')

shellExecute script: this

piper shellExecute

script

Jenkins-specific: Used for proper environment setup.
