Jenkinsfile syntax highlighting in PyCharm Idea

The following filetype xml will highlight Jenkinsfile syntax in PyCharm

create a new Jenkinsfile.xml, copy the following xml:

<filetype binary="false" description="Jenkinsfile support" name="Jenkinsfile">  <highlighting>    <options>      <option name="LINE_COMMENT" value="//" />      <option name="COMMENT_START" value="/*" />      <option name="COMMENT_END" value="*/" />      <option name="HEX_PREFIX" value="" />      <option name="NUM_POSTFIXES" value="" />      <option name="HAS_BRACES" value="true" />      <option name="HAS_BRACKETS" value="true" />      <option name="HAS_PARENS" value="true" />      <option name="HAS_STRING_ESCAPES" value="true" />      <option name="LINE_COMMENT_AT_START" value="true" />    </options>    <keywords keywords="def;else;if;import;print;return" ignore_case="true" />    <keywords2 keywords="node" />    <keywords3 keywords="field;library;stage;string" />    <keywords4 keywords="try;catch;finally" />  </highlighting>  <extensionMap>    <mapping pattern="Jenkinsfile" />  </extensionMap></filetype>

~~Unfortunately, Pycharm does not currently support Groovy/Jenkinsfile syntax highlighting.~~

UPDATE: Please see the other answers on this thread to check if groovy support is discovered or added for PyCharm.

While this does not officially answer your question it does provide a workaround for those who are interested.

Install IntelliJ IDEA, the community edition can be downloaded free from intelliJ

Once installed, open File-->Settings-->Editor-->File Types-->Groovy and you can associate Jenkinsfile with the Groovy syntax by adding 'Jenkinsfile*' to the Groovy 'Registered patterns':

A word to the wise: Don't open the Jenkinsfile directly in your Pycharm project with IDEA. It will start writing to the '.idea' folder and cause conflicts with the pyCharm IDE. I like to symlink/softlink my Jenkinsfile into a subdirectory of a folder called 'jenkinsfiles'. So if I have a project called ProjectA I symlink the Jenkins file to ..path../jenkinsfiles/ProjectA/Jenkinsfile. I then open ..path../jenkinsfiles/ in IDEA and can manage all the Jenkinsfiles for all my projects from there.

UPDATE: lately I have been enjoying the free https://code.visualstudio.com/ which has a groovy plugin https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=marlon407.code-groovy.

It's possible. We can add groovy TextMate bundle to PyCharm. Unfortunately PR for Jenkinsfile support waiting for a long time, so we need to do some changes in packet manually.

1. Download and unpack https://github.com/textmate/groovy.tmbundle/archive/master.zip
2. open path_to_unpacked_package/Groovy.tmLanguage file in editor and add <string>Jenkinsfile</string> after line <string>gvy</string>
3. Open PyCharm->Settings->TextMate Bundles and add modified groovy.tmbundle

Based on this answer and tested on PyCharm 2019.1.2 Pro

P.S. As alternative one can use this fork without any modifications
P.P.S. from @jeff-welling comment: If you have no TextMate Bundles in setup, then follow this instruction to install it
Pycharm 2019.2 changelog: PyCharm will now highlight the syntax of Windows .bat files, C#, C++, Groovy, Lua, Makefiles, and more
