Jenkins : Change the name of JenkinsFile

Question

I'm using Pipeline Plugin under Jenkins

My job is basically using a file called "jenkinsFile" to get the divers steps to run.

-> My purpose is how to let the job use a different file name :

examples:

• myJenkinsFile
• build_JenkinsFile
• deploy_JenkinsFile
• buildSteps
• ...

Since it seems that "JenkinsFile" is a conventional format ,

is there any ways to change it if it's not verry clean ??

Suggestions ??

Answer 1

On the project section of the configuration page you just have to click Add > Pipeline Jenkins and then you can choose the custom name that jenkins will look for the pipeline.

If you want also a better level of customization you can also use Remote File Plugin, which allows you to put your pipeline in a repository and make it work with multiple repositories/branch (and of course you can still customize the name of the file)
