Pipeline folders

Use folders to organize pipelines within your Prophecy project and facilitate project navigation and collaboration. Folders help you manage large numbers of pipelines by grouping them systematically. You'll be able to see new folders in both the visual and code view of the project.

note

Pipeline folders must be created inside the pipelines directory of the project.

Limitations

Pipeline folders have the following limitations:

• Folders can only be created, not edited or removed
• You cannot rename folders after creation
• You cannot move pipelines between folders after they are created

Create a folder

Method 1: Create the folder directly

This is the most straightforward method to create a new folder.

1. Open the project editor.
2. In the left sidebar, hover over Pipelines.
3. Click the + (plus) icon.
4. Click the folder icon next to the directory path.
5. Select the pipelines directory.
6. Click Add Folder.
7. Enter your folder name.
8. Click Save.

The folder is created. You can either create a new pipeline inside the folder or exit the new pipeline dialog.

tip

If you exit the dialog, you can add a pipeline to the new folder later.

Method 2: Create the folder and a new pipeline

For this method, you type the pipeline path directly. However, it requires that you also create a new pipeline simultaneously.

1. Open the project editor.
2. In the left sidebar, hover over Pipelines.
3. Click the + (plus) icon.
4. In the Pipeline Name field, name your new pipeline.
5. In the Directory Path field, type the new folder path (for example, pipelines/finance).
6. Click Create to save the new pipeline and the new folder.
