Locking multiple external resources in Jenkins

Question

Is it possible to lock multiple external resources to a build in Jenkins? We have tried the External Resource Dispatcher Plugin but did not succeed.

Answer 1

It's not clear if your issue can be solved only through the External Resource Dispatcher plugin (which doesn't seem to have strong active development) but if you can afford to use the Lockable Resources Plugin as pointed by chown, there's a simplified syntax to lock multiple named resources in the Jenkins pipelines, as pointed in this support request:

pipeline {
    agent any
    options {
         // Pipeline scoped multiple resource lock
        lock(extra: [[resource: 'resa'], [resource: 'resb']])
    }
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                 // Stage scoped multiple resource lock
                lock(extra: [[resource: 'resc'], [resource: 'resd']])
                {
                    // ...
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
