Hello Everyone,
I am trying to replicate GitHub Actions’ visualization of dependencies within Jenkins. In GitHub Actions, I have multiple jobs that use the needs directive for dependency management.
The closest equivalent I found in Jenkins is the waitUntil method. While it functions well, it does not provide a way to visualize dependencies in the Pipeline Graph or Blue Ocean view.
I am looking for a solution that offers a dependency visualization similar to GitHub Actions. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
