Jenkinsfile and env.GIT_BRANCH

Question

I have a Jenkinsfile that uses a branching strategy.

I have an if statement in every stage .

My release/* conditional is not working. I want to have any release/* branches deployed to a staging env.

Is there any other way?

if (env.GIT_BRANCH == 'master' || env.GIT_BRANCH == 'release/*' || env.GIT_BRANCH == 'develop')```

You can make use of a regular expression, since currently you are making a string comparison to literally release/* , which is unlikely to ever return true.

Utilizing a regular expression arrives at:

if (env.GIT_BRANCH == 'master' || env.GIT_BRANCH ==~ /release\// || env.GIT_BRANCH == 'develop')

which will match on any branch that begins with release/ , which is what you are attempting to check for in the question.

You can find more information on Groovy regular expression operators in the documentation .
