Install Stage View Plugin to see  pipeline job full stage view

The Pipeline: Stage View plugin in Jenkins is used to visualize the different stages of a pipeline job, helping in tracking progress, identifying failures, and improving pipeline debugging.

How to Enable and Use the Stage View in Jenkins

1. Install the Plugin

1. Go to Jenkins Dashboard → Manage Jenkins → Manage Plugins.
2. Search for Pipeline: Stage View Plugin in the Available tab.
3. Install the plugin and restart Jenkins.

2. Create or Modify a Pipeline Job

The Stage View works only with properly structured Pipeline jobs, particularly using the stage directive.

Declarative Pipeline Example

# sample-declarative-groovy-script

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                echo 'Building the application...'
            }
        }
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                echo 'Running tests...'
            }
        }
        stage('Deploy') {
            steps {
                echo 'Deploying the application...'
            }
        }
    }
}

Scripted Pipeline Example

#sample-groovy-script

node {
    stage('Build') {
        echo 'Building the application...'
    }
    stage('Test') {
        echo 'Running tests...'
    }
    stage('Deploy') {
        echo 'Deploying the application...'
    }
}

3. Run the Pipeline

• After configuring the pipeline, save and run the job at least once.
• The Stage View will not appear until at least one build has been completed.

4. Access the Stage View

• Navigate to the pipeline job.
• You will see the Stage View panel displaying each stage as a visual timeline.
• If any stage fails, it will be highlighted in red.

5. Troubleshooting Stage View Issues

If the Stage View is not appearing:

• Ensure the plugin is installed by checking in Manage Plugins.
• Run the job at least once, as Stage View is only populated after execution.
• Verify that the job is a Pipeline job, not a Freestyle job.
• Check pipeline syntax to ensure stages are correctly defined.
