Jenkins: Re-use partial pipeline script

Question

I have a large amount of pipeline script. The second half of them usually consists of the same code The redundand code looks a bit like this

stage 'Windows 7'
sh 'foo'
sh 'bar'
Stage 'Windows 8.1'
sh 'foo'
sh 'somethingelse'

I would like to export this code fragment into a file and then reuse it when I need it. What can I do to achieve this? Where Do I have to store the script to make it accessible?

Cheers

Use Pipeline Shared Groovy Library plugin.

Create a new repository, put your groovy code under (root)/var/your_code.groovy

Load the libraries with @Library or tick Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Global Pipeline Libraries -> Load Implicitly to always have the groovy code loaded

is there any simple solution like: Copy redundand code to file, load this file and execute it? – raddirad Jan 02 '17 at 14:21
@raddirad yes there is . use https://github.com/jenkinsci/workflow-remote-loader-plugin . use fileLoader.fromGit to load your code and execute it – Amityo Jan 02 '17 at 14:24
Thanks, just in case, are there any local possibilities? – raddirad Jan 02 '17 at 15:08
what do you mean? – Amityo Jan 02 '17 at 15:09
like store a Jenkinsfile in SOMEPATH locally and load it from this local patch – raddirad Jan 02 '17 at 15:09
you can try the load command. see [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37800195/how-do-you-load-a-groovy-file-and-execute-it) – Amityo Jan 02 '17 at 15:13
Well worked trough a lot of traps but finally managed to get the first solution to work. Thanks :) – raddirad Jan 03 '17 at 09:09
