Discussion on: What is your favorite CI/CD tool and why?

I was actually pretty happy with multibranch pipelines at my last job! The only problem is the same problem with pipelines in general -- poorly documented Groovy APIs and script approvals.

poorly documented Groovy APIs

So true! I was just trying to do something very simple and I couldn't find any info on how to interact with plugins (eventually figured it out by modifying an example).

It's really amazing that in 2018 the way you get your coverage report in Pipelines is still

step([
  $class: 'CoberturaPublisher',
  autoUpdateHealth: false,
  autoUpdateStability: false,
  coberturaReportFile: '**/cobertura-coverage.xml',
  failUnhealthy: false,
  failUnstable: false,
  maxNumberOfBuilds: 0,
  onlyStable: false,
  sourceEncoding: 'ASCII',
  zoomCoverageChart: false
])

because there isn't a proper step defined.
