I want to put multiple when clause in a single stage. Here is the basic example

def foo = 0
pipeline {
    agent any

    stages {
        stage('Hello') {
        when {
            expression {foo == 0}
        } 
            steps {
                echo 'foo is 0'
            }
        when {
            expression {foo == 1}
        } 
            steps {
                echo 'foo is 1'
            }
        }
    }
}

When I try this I recieve an error

 Multiple occurrences of the when section

Actually my real problem is different but solving this will probably solve my real problem. Thanks in advance

It looks you'll be much better off using the directives as intended:

Multiple when is disallowed by design, if you looking a simple if else logic it's there:

  1. Straghtforward if statement:
stage {
    steps {
        script {
            if (foo == 0){
                echo 'foo is 0'
            }
            else if (foo == 1){
                echo 'foo is 1'
            }
        }
    }
}

If you'd like to use nested conditions in when:
2. Here you go:

stage {
    when {
      anyOf {
        environment name: 'VAR_1', value: '1'
        branch 'production'
      }
    }
    steps {
         <your steps>
    }
