• Any of the conditions are met which are explained in the section Step Activation.

Step Activation

For this stage no conditions are assigned to steps.

Additional Stage Parameters

name	mandatory	default	possible values
buildTool	yes		docker, kaniko, maven, mta, ``npm
productiveBranch	no	master
script	yes
stashSettings	no
verbose	no		true, false

• buildTool - Defines the build tool used.
• productiveBranch - Defines the main branch for your pipeline. Typically this is the master branch, which does not need to be set explicitly. Only change this in exceptional cases
• script - The common script environment of the Jenkinsfile running. Typically the reference to the script calling the pipeline step is provided with the this parameter, as in script: this. This allows the function to access the commonPipelineEnvironment for retrieving, e.g. configuration parameters.
• stashSettings - Defines the library resource containing the stash settings to be performed before and after each stage. Caution: changing the default will break the standard behavior of the pipeline - thus only relevant when including Init stage into custom pipelines!
• verbose - Whether verbose output should be produced.

Configuration of Additional Stage Parameters

The stage parameters need to be defined in the section stages of config.yml file.
