Jenkinfile When Condition for env.JOB_NAME

Question

I have a Jenkinsfile I would like to trigger certain steps based on env.JOB_NAME. As a test I have done this;

#!/usr/bin/env groovy
pipeline {
    agent any
     stages {  
      stage('Get ID') {
          when {
              "${env.JOB_NAME}" == 'Notification Sender (dev)'
          }
       steps {
       echo "${env.JOB_NAME}"
      }
    }
  }
}

However I get the error;

WorkflowScript: 6: Expected a when condition @ line 6, column 11.
             when {
             ^

WorkflowScript: 6: Empty when closure, remove the property or add some content. @ line 6, column 11.
             when {
             ^

Can I make the stage run based on the env.JOB_NAME using the when condition?

Answer 1

Yes, you can.

Try the following

when {
     expression {
         env.JOB_NAME == 'Notification Sender (dev)'
     }
}

There is full documentation on the Pipeline syntax page, but the relevant part is

expression Execute the stage when the specified Groovy expression evaluates to true, for example: when { expression { return params.DEBUG_BUILD } }
