GIT_BRANCH Variable Now Contains the Remote Name

XMLWordPrintable

      Previously, the Bitbucket Server integration plugin set the GIT_BRANCH environment variable equal to the local branch name checked out by Jenkins. In versions of the plugin < 3.6.0 a multibranch pipeline's job named example/example-branch would have a GIT_BRANCH variable set to example-branch. After upgrading to 4.0.0 of the plugins, that same variable would be origin/example-branch. This is breaking a lot of our Jenkinsfiles that depend on the previous behavior.

       

      Example code

       stage("Print GIT_BRANCH"){
           steps{
             echo env.GIT_BRANCH
         }
       } 

      Output on 3.6.0

      Output on 4.0.0

      origin/aidaleuc/smoketests
