Why does this not work? (https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#sequential-stages) I created a pipeline with the following...

pipeline {
agent none
stages {
    stage('Non-Sequential Stage') {
        agent {
            label 'for-non-sequential'
        }
        steps {
            echo "On Non-Sequential Stage"
        }
    }
    stage('Sequential') {
        agent {
            label 'for-sequential'
        }
        environment {
            FOR_SEQUENTIAL = "some-value"
        }
        stages {
           stage('In Sequential 1') {
               steps {
                   echo "In Sequential 1"
               }
           }
           stage('In Sequential 2') {
               steps {
                   echo "In Sequential 2"
               }
           }
        }
    }
}

}

I am getting the following

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: WorkflowScript: 12: Unknown stage section "stages". Starting with version 0.5, steps in a stage must be in a steps block. @ line 12, column 9. stage('Sequential') { ^

WorkflowScript: 12: No "steps" or "parallel" to execute within stage "Sequential" @ line 12, column 9. stage('Sequential') { ^

2 errors

    You cannot do nested stages (unless you consider parallel stages to be nested) and, last I saw, Cloudbees explicitly stated they have no plans to develop that functionality. That documentation is alarmingly inaccurate. I think the impetus behind this is that it would mess up the BlueOcean viewer. – Matthew Schuchard Jun 20 '18 at 15:23
  • Thanks for the quick reply, Matt. I guessed as much but was curious because of the documentation. – Gaurav Desai Jun 20 '18 at 17:31

    So this is actually about to be implemented: https://jenkins.io/blog/2018/07/02/whats-new-declarative-piepline-13x-sequential-stages/ – Matthew Schuchard Jul 02 '18 at 19:14
