Pull request overview

This PR refactors the Jenkins pipeline to dynamically generate regression test stages based on configurable MarkLogic image tags, replacing the previous hardcoded parallel stages for versions 10, 11, and 12.

Changes:

• Introduced a new pipeline parameter MARKLOGIC_IMAGE_TAGS to allow users to specify MarkLogic image tags at build time
• Replaced three static regression test stages with a dynamic stage generation approach that iterates over the provided image tags
• Consolidated duplicate test execution logic into a single reusable pattern

The parameter description is lengthy and may be truncated in the Jenkins UI. Consider moving the detailed explanation to pipeline documentation and keeping the description concise, such as: 'Comma-delimited list of MarkLogic image tags (e.g., marklogic-server-ubi:latest-11). Registry path is prepended automatically.'

Suggested change

string(name: 'MARKLOGIC_IMAGE_TAGS', defaultValue: 'marklogic-server-ubi:latest-11,marklogic-server-ubi:latest-12', description: 'Comma-delimited list of MarkLogic image tags including variant (e.g., marklogic-server-ubi:latest-11,marklogic-server-ubi-rootless:11.3.2). The registry/org (ml-docker-db-dev-tierpoint.bed-artifactory.bedford.progress.com/marklogic) path will be prepended automatically.')

string(name: 'MARKLOGIC_IMAGE_TAGS', defaultValue: 'marklogic-server-ubi:latest-11,marklogic-server-ubi:latest-12', description: 'Comma-delimited list of MarkLogic image tags (e.g., marklogic-server-ubi:latest-11). Registry path is prepended automatically.')

The default value excludes latest-10 which was previously tested in the removed 'runtests-10-nightly' stage. If version 10 testing is still required, consider including 'marklogic-server-ubi:latest-10' in the default value or document why it was intentionally removed.

If the MARKLOGIC_IMAGE_TAGS parameter is empty or contains only whitespace, split(',') will return an array with an empty string, causing the pipeline to create an invalid stage. Add validation to check if the parameter is empty or only contains whitespace before processing.

	def imageTagsParam = params.MARKLOGIC_IMAGE_TAGS
	if (!imageTagsParam || imageTagsParam.trim().isEmpty()) {
	error "MARKLOGIC_IMAGE_TAGS parameter must not be empty or whitespace-only when running regressions."
	}
	def imageTags = imageTagsParam
	.split(',')
	.collect { it.trim() }
	.findAll { it }
	if (imageTags.isEmpty()) {
	error "No valid image tags were found in MARKLOGIC_IMAGE_TAGS after processing. Please provide at least one non-empty, comma-separated tag."
	}
	def imagePrefix = 'ml-docker-db-dev-tierpoint.bed-artifactory.bedford.progress.com/marklogic/'
	def parallelStages = [:]
	imageTags.each { tag ->
	def fullImage = imagePrefix + tag
	def stageName = "regressions-${tag.replace(':', '-')}"

The stage name generation replaces colons with hyphens but doesn't handle other potentially problematic characters that might appear in image tags (e.g., slashes, special characters). Consider using a more robust sanitization approach or documenting the expected format constraints for the image tags.

Suggested change

	def stageName = "regressions-${tag.trim().replace(':', '-')}"
	def stageName = "regressions-${tag.trim().replaceAll('[^A-Za-z0-9_.-]', '-')}"
