Group changelog entries by Jenkins build numbers

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      It would be nice if the changelog could optionally be grouped by jenkins job build numbers. Not everyone tags every build. So one could use the build number as some kind of "implicit tag" to group those commits that were added for a build.

          What about to set "from commit" to last successful build (it is $GIT_PREVIOUS_SUCCESSFUL_COMMIT, see environment variables here: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin#GitPlugin-AdvancedFeaturesorigin%2Fmaster) and till just current commit (it is $GIT_COMMIT variable). It would always give you git changelog from last successful build till current build.

          That would be good. Since the git environment variables are not exposed to a pipeline job, I've been forced to do a workaround to accomplish getting the changelog since last successful build.

          Here is an example that recursively gets the older builds:

          Here is an example that gets the changesets of builds:

          Using that in combination with this plugin should solve this.

           def changelogString = gitChangelog returnType: 'STRING',
  from: [type: 'COMMIT', value: 'commit hash here'],
  to: [type: 'COMMIT', value: 'next build commit hash here'],
  template: """

 println changelogString
