I'd like to help, but I'm not able to reproduce this. What is the class of the build? Can you put an example project on github which demonstrates the problem?

Hi Steve,

My job is jenkins pipeline job. Job (written in Groovy) will be building a mobile app and when the build is failed, I will need to send the build log as an attachment in the mail. I tried with the below piece of groovy code to retrieve the the build log.

protected static String getBuildLogText(jobFullName, buildNumber, script) {
      String buildLogText = ""
      BufferedReader reader
      Jenkins.instance.getItemByFullName(jobFullName).each{ item->
      Run currentBuild = ((Job)item).getBuild(buildNumber)
      if(currentBuild){
            try {
                  reader = TimestamperAPI.get().read(currentBuild,"time=HH:mm:ss")
                  String line
                  while((line=reader.readLine())!= null){
                        buildLogText = buildLogText + line + "\n";
                  }
             } catch (Exception e) {
                  String exceptionMessage = (e.getLocalizedMessage()) ?: 'Failed to capture the Build Log....'
                  script.echoCustom(exceptionMessage,'ERROR',false)
            } finally {
                  if(reader != null){
                        reader.close();
                  }
            }
      }
}
buildLogText
}

Thanks, that was helpful. I've committed a fix and it will be included in the next release.

By the way, if you want the entire build log you may find it easier to use the URL:

def getBuildLogText() {
    new URL(BUILD_URL + "/timestamps/?time=HH:mm:ss&appendLog").getText()
}

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve,

Thanks for fixing the issue. I have heard about using the url directly, but we have our own authentication mechanism (OAuth 1.0 service) for jenkins, which is not an easy to implement as of today.

Thanks

Fix included in Timestamper 1.8.10 which will be available shortly.
