Stages

Stages are a primitive that allow you to group together steps to be called at once in order to avoid repetition in the pipeline template.

Stages are defined by through the stages key, with subkeys becoming available as steps within your pipeline template.

A common example would be creating a continuous integration stage:

stages{
    continuous_integration{
        unit_test
        static_code_analysis
        build
        scan_artifact
    }
}
groovy

and then in your template:

continuous_integration()
deploy_to dev
groovy
