Set the pipeline name and description from Jenkinsfile

Question

I am trying to do a poc of jenkins pipeline as code. I am using the Github organization folder plugin to scan Github orgs and create jobs per branch. Is there a way to explicitl

Answer 1

I tried to used code snippet from accepted answer to describe my Jenkins pipeline in Jenkinsfile. I had to wrap code snippet into function with @NonCPS annotation and use def for item variable. I have placed code snippet in root of Jenkinsfile, not in node section.

@NonCPS 
def setDescription() { 
    def item = Jenkins.instance.getItemByFullName(env.JOB_NAME) 
    item.setDescription("Some description.") 
    item.save()
}

setDescription()
