I want to send email when builds succeeds/fails along with some useful Git info such as commit SHA, previous successful SHA, commit message, etc.
I was able to do this in the old UI way but now I've created declarative pipeline and now I'm getting GIT_BRANCH is not supported in this context
in the received email. I'm using Jenkins ver. 2.89.3.
My script:
pipeline {
agent {
...
}
stages {
stage('Checkout') {
steps {
sh 'printenv'
checkout scm: [$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[[name: '*/development']], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: [], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [url: 'https://github.com/myrepo/']]]
sh 'git submodule foreach --recursive \'git submodule sync\''
sh 'git submodule update --init --recursive'
}
}
stage('Build') {
steps {
...
}
}
}
post {
success {
sh 'printenv'
emailext body: '$PROJECT_DEFAULT_CONTENT Commit message: ${FILE, path="commit_message.txt"}\nThis commit: ${GIT_COMMIT}Build URL: ${BUILD_URL}',
recipientProviders: [[$class: 'DevelopersRecipientProvider'], [$class: 'CulpritsRecipientProvider'], [$class: 'RequesterRecipientProvider']],
subject: 'Some subject'
}
}
}
The printenv
will print everything I expect including the GIT_COMMIT both in 'Checkout' stage and post success. Because I will be reusing this script for more than 10 Jenkins jobs, I want to avoid adding manual UI work to pass in parameters and things.
I tried declaring environment before the stages
but could not use it from the context of emailext
:
agent {
...
}
environment {
MY_GIT_COMMIT = "${GIT_COMMIT}"
}
stages {
...
}
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
JENKINS-26100 suggests
node {
withCheckout(scm) {
echo "GIT_COMMIT is ${env.GIT_COMMIT}"
}
}
