Are comments possible in a Jenkinsfile? If so, what's the syntax?

I am using the declarative pipeline syntax.

I want to comment out the "post" section below until my SMTP server is working.

pipeline {

  agent { label 'docker-build-slave' }

  environment {

    IMAGE = 'registry.gitlab.com/XXXXX/bible-server'

    DOCKER_REGISTRY_CREDENTIALS = credentials('DOCKER_REGISTRY_CREDENTIALS')

  }

  options {

    timeout(10)

  }

  stages {

    stage('Test') {

      steps {

        sh 'yarn'

        sh 'npm test'

      }

    }

    stage('Build') {

      when {

        branch '*/master'

      }

      steps {

        sh 'docker login -u ${DOCKER_REGISTRY_CREDENTIALS_USR} -p ${DOCKER_REGISTRY_CREDENTIALS_PSW} registry.gitlab.com'

        sh 'docker build -t ${IMAGE}:${BRANCH_NAME} .'

        sh 'docker push ${IMAGE}:${BRANCH_NAME}'

      }

    }

    stage('Deploy') {

      when {

        branch '*/master'

      }

      steps {

        echo 'Deploying ..'

      }

    }

  }

  post {

    success {

      mail to: "[email protected]", subject:"SUCCESS: ${currentBuild.fullDisplayName}", body: "Yay, we passed."

    }

    failure {

      mail to: "[email protected]", subject:"FAILURE: ${currentBuild.fullDisplayName}", body: "Boo, we failed."

    }

  }

}

The Jenkinsfile is written in groovy which uses the Java (and C) form of comments. To make comments on the file you need to use the following way:

/* this

   is a

   multi-line comment */

// this is a single line comment
