How can I use the advanced parameter select plugin in the Jenkins pipeline script?

Question

The advanced parameter selection plugin is great and I use it in jobs configured through the user interface https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Extended+Choice+Parameter+plugin

However, I am struggling to get it working in the Jenkinsfilescript pipeline . It seems that the advanced parameter selection plugin is not yet fully compatible with Pipeline scripts, as the Jenkins pipeline syntax generator generates the following snippet:

parameters([<object of type com.cwctravel.hudson.plugins.extended_choice_parameter.ExtendedChoiceParameterDefinition>])

If I create the parameters manually, I get the same behavior as indicated at https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-32188

org.kohsuke.stapler.NoStaplerConstructorException: There no @DataBoundConstructor on any constructor of class 

Does anyone know of any workarounds that can work around the problem ExtendedChoiceParameterDefinitionwithout using it @DataBoundConstructor?

• Jenkins 2.19.2
• Plugin for advanced parameter selection 0.75

Answer 1

Here is my workaround for this pb:

https://gist.github.com/jgraglia/44a7443847cff6f0d87387a46c7bb82f

i.e.: manually create a parameter by declaring all arguments

I was able to add the multi checklist parameter to my pipeline with this.

Like mkobit, it is currently not possible to use the advanced select plugin as a build parameter.

What I like to use as a workaround is a design similar to the following

timeout(time: 5, unit: TimeUnit.MINUTES) {
    def result = input(message: 'Set some values', parameters: [
        booleanParam(defaultValue: true, description: '', name: 'SomeBoolean'),
        choice(choices: "Choice One\nChoice Two", description: '', name: 'SomeChoice'),
        stringParam(defaultValue: "Text", description: '', name: 'SomeText')
    ]) as Map<String, String>
}

echo "${result.SomeBoolean}, ${result.SomeChoice}, ${result.SomeText}"

. .
