Include SCM changes in environment variables

XMLWordPrintable

      I would like to have the contents of the Changes section in an environment variable. The application for me is that I am uploading an iOS build to HockeyApp and want to include release notes.

          I concur that this would be useful to have.

          I was sure an environment variable $CHANGE_LOG did exist but nope. It would be super useful.

          If you are interested in uploading your build to HockeyApp (with release notes and some other stuff)
          You may try my plugin at: https://github.com/ohoeltke/hockeyapp-plugin
          Will try to update the binary this weekend, master branch is current

          While I don't think this would be universally useful, it should be fairly easy to write a plugin that does this.

          I'll try to put something together in the next few weeks.

          I suppose this is a case for the SCM-API plugin instead of the core.

          So… it has taken much longer than originally expected, but in the context of today' Hacksgiving community event I wrote a simple demo plugin that should do what is requested here. It has not yet been published to the Jenkins community update site, but I pushed it to GitHub:

          https://github.com/daniel-beck/changelog-environment-plugin (mvn verify should build it)

          FWIW there's also a quite flexible list-changes command for the Jenkins CLI (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+CLI)

          No response for over a month, so with the public release of the plugin source code I consider this issue resolved.

          Hi Daniel,

          Thanks for the plugin. I am able to build and install the plugin in my server, but I don't know if there is a way to get the change log in a variable.

          I have provided '%s | %s' in File Item Format section. The build doesn't print any output. Will that be already assigned to any variable?

          Basically I need to get the list of files changed in a array/variable and want to use it in a groovy script in the build step. I have a multi-module project, based on the file modified, groovy will decide how to build the application. Could you let me know how to get the files modified?

          hariprashadh Form validation should either show an error explaining what's wrong, or show a sample line of output for your format.

          If that doesn't work, file an issue in GitHub.
