Hide command executed, only show output

Question

I want to hide jenkins sh execute command in pipeline

pipeline {
    agent any

    stages {
        stage('Load Lib') {
            steps {
                sh "ls -al /"
            }
        }
    }
}

Current result:

[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Load Lib)
[Pipeline] sh
[Test] Running shell script
+ ls -al /

I want to hide Running shell script ls -al / command in output.

Please help

5 year and sh("set +x\n" + "ls -la") for every single bash line? I think is in this method but I don't see any kind of logger https://github.com/jenkinsci/shell-script-scm-plugin/blob/d35002a554f8e95301342c43f30e9a21a30a5c69/src/main/java/org/jvnet/hudson/plugins/ssscm/ShellScriptSCM.java#L306 — JRichardsz, Jan 22 '23 at 23:15

This is definitely related to Echo off in Jenkins Console Output

For pipeline, what this means is:

pipeline {
    agent any

    stages {
        stage('Load Lib') {
            steps {
                sh '''
                    set +x
                    //commands to be echoed off
                    ls -al
                    set -x 
                '''
            }
        }
    }
}

''' indicates a multi line command. set +x turns off command echoing, and set -x turns it back on again.

If you need to interpolate ${VARIABLE}s, you can substitute a triple double quote: """ – Apr 08 '19 at 15:22

This is just excluding command from console, but If I hover on Jenkins Pipeline stage log from UI, then it still shows command – Alpesh Jikadra Jan 27 '21 at 13:37

You can override this behaviour for the whole script by putting the following at the top of the build step:

#!/bin/bash +x

This will just hide command from console, but if you hover on the pipeline stage UI logs, then you can still see the command – Alpesh Jikadra Jan 27 '21 at 13:36
