How to execute a command in a Jenkins 2.0 Pipeline job and then return the stdout

Closed 1 year ago.
I have a command that retrieves my most recent git commit hash.
git rev-parse HEAD
Is it possible to pass this as an environment variable to a Jenkins pipeline stage?
I've tried to do this,
environment {
CURRENT_COMMIT_HASH=`git rev-parse HEAD`
}
but when I echo it in a later stage
stage ('Issues Report') {
steps {
sh '''
echo "${CURRENT_COMMIT_HASH}"
'''
}
}
It comes out blank.
+ echo
This should work
stage ('Stage-Name') {
environment {
current_hash = """${sh(
returnStdout: true,
script: "git rev-parse HEAD"
)}"""
steps {
sh '''
echo "My current commit hash is $current_hash"
'''
}
}

I have a jenkins pipeline file where i need to call an sh file
node {
stage("Stage1") {
checkout scm
sh '''
echo "Invoking the sh script"
valueNeedstobepassed = "test"
'''
}
stage ('stage2') {
Need to refer the "valueNeedstobepassed" varaible in my
pipleline step
}
}
I am not able to refer the variable "valueNeedstobepassed" on stage 2
Any help please?
I am trying to pass variables extracted in a stage in Jenkinsfile between stages. For example:
stage('Dummy Stage') {
sh '''#!/bin/bash -l
export abc=`output of some command`
.....
.....
'''
Now, how can I pass the variable abc to a subsequent stage? I have tried setting the variable by adding a def section at the top of the file but looks like it doesnt work. In the absence of a neater way, I am having to retype the commands
Here is what I do to get the number of commits on master as a global environment variable:
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
COMMITS_ON_MASTER = sh(script: "git rev-list HEAD --count", returnStdout: true).trim()
}
stages {
stage("Print commits") {
steps {
echo "There are ${env.COMMITS_ON_MASTER} commits on master"
}
}
}
}
You can use the longer form of the sh step and return the output (see Pipeline document). Your variable should be defined outside the stages.
You can use an imperatively created environment variable inside a script block in you stage steps, for example:
stage("Stage 1") {
steps {
script {
env.RESULT_ON_STAGE_1 = sh (
script: 'echo "Output of some command"',
returnStdout: true
)
}
echo "In stage 1: ${env.RESULT_ON_STAGE_1}"
}
}
stage("Stage 2") {
steps {
echo "In stage 2: ${env.RESULT_ON_STAGE_1}"
}
}
This guide explains use of environment variables in pipelines with examples.
My issue concerned having two 'sh' commands where one uses single quotes (where I set a variable) and the other uses double quotes (where I access 'env' variables set in the jenkinsfile such as BUILD_ID).
Here's how I solved it.
script {
env.TEST = sh(
script:
'''
echo "TEST"
''',
returnStdout: true
)
sh """
echo ${env.BUILD_ID}
echo ${env.TEST}
"""
}
I want to pass a variable which I read in stage A towards stage B somehow. I see in some examples that people write it to a file, but I guess that is not really a nice solution. I tried writing it to an environment variable, but I'm not really successful on that. How can I set it up properly?
To get it working I tried a lot of things and read that I should use the """ instead of ''' to start a shell and escape those variables to \${foo} for example.
Below is what I have as a pipeline:
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
pipeline {
agent { node { label 'php71' } }
environment {
packageName='my-package'
packageVersion=''
groupId='vznl'
nexus_endpoint='http://nexus.devtools.io'
nexus_username='jenkins'
nexus_password='J3nkins'
}
stages{
// Package dependencies
stage('Install dependencies') {
steps {
sh '''
echo Skip composer installation
#composer install --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader --no-interaction
'''
}
}
// Unit tests
stage('Unit Tests') {
steps {
sh '''
echo Running PHP code coverage tests...
#composer test
'''
}
}
// Create artifact
stage('Package') {
steps {
echo 'Create package refs'
sh """
mkdir -p ./build/zpk
VERSIONTAG=\$(grep 'version' composer.json)
REGEX='"version": "([0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+)"'
if [[ \${VERSIONTAG} =~ \${REGEX} ]]
then
env.packageVersion=\${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
/usr/bin/zs-client packZpk --folder=. --destination=./build/zpk --name=${env.packageName}-${env.packageVersion}.zpk --version=${env.packageVersion}
else
echo "No version found!"
exit 1
fi
"""
}
}
// Publish ZPK package to Nexus
stage('Publish packages') {
steps {
echo "Publish ZPK Package"
sh "curl -u ${env.nexus_username}:${env.nexus_password} --upload-file ./build/zpk/${env.packageName}-${env.packageVersion}.zpk ${env.nexus_endpoint}/repository/zpk-packages/${groupId}/${env.packageName}-${env.packageVersion}.zpk"
archive includes: './build/**/*.{zpk,rpm,deb}'
}
}
}
}
As you can see the packageVersion which I read from stage Package needs to be used in stage Publish as well.
Overall tips against the pipeline are of course always welcome as well.
A problem in your code is that you are assigning version of environment variable within the sh step. This step will execute in its own isolated process, inheriting parent process environment variables.
However, the only way of passing data back to the parent is through STDOUT/STDERR or exit code. As you want a string value, it is best to echo version from the sh step and assign it to a variable within the script context.
If you reuse the node, the script context will persist, and variables will be available in the subsequent stage. A working example is below. Note that any try to put this within a parallel block can be of failure, as the version information variable can be written to by multiple processes.
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
pipeline {
environment {
AGENT_INFO = ''
}
agent {
docker {
image 'alpine'
reuseNode true
}
}
stages {
stage('Collect agent info'){
steps {
echo "Current agent info: ${env.AGENT_INFO}"
script {
def agentInfo = sh script:'uname -a', returnStdout: true
println "Agent info within script: ${agentInfo}"
AGENT_INFO = agentInfo.replace("/n", "")
env.AGENT_INFO = AGENT_INFO
}
}
}
stage("Print agent info"){
steps {
script {
echo "Collected agent info: ${AGENT_INFO}"
echo "Environment agent info: ${env.AGENT_INFO}"
}
}
}
}
}
Another option which doesn't involve using script, but is just declarative, is to stash things in a little temporary environment file.
You can then use this stash (like a temporary cache that only lives for the run) if the workload is sprayed out across parallel or distributed nodes as needed.
Something like:
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('first stage') {
steps {
// Write out any environment variables you like to a temporary file
sh 'echo export FOO=baz > myenv'
// Stash away for later use
stash 'myenv'
}
}
stage ("later stage") {
steps {
// Unstash the temporary file and apply it
unstash 'myenv'
// use the unstashed vars
sh 'source myenv && echo $FOO'
}
}
}
}
My project has a Jenkinsfile that runs smoothly. The problem is that I need to run some commands only on certain occasions. I'm using the Github plugin. I need to run the deploy only when it is in the master or a new tag, one will be for staging and the other will be production.
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Test') {
steps {
sh 'node -v'
sh 'yarn install'
sh 'yarn test -- --coverage'
}
}
stage('Build') {
steps {
sh 'yarn build'
}
}
stage('Deploy') {
steps {
sh 'aws s3 sync ./build s3://my.bucket --only-show-errors'
}
}
}
}
I need the master to deploy to a bucket and when it is new tag to another. How can I create this conditional?
How about the following working as two conditionals for two separate deployment scenarios? I think it's better to work with this using variables to indicate deployment scenarios instead of splitting this to two distinctly different steps though. You could for example write a shell script that would handle everything inside depending on tags/branches/whatever you need instead of forcing yourself to control this on pipeline level.
Each stage will have it's steps executed only when when part is satisfied. Stage Deploy will only work for master branch, while stage Deploy_NonMaster will only work any non master branch. Using the method written in when conditionals you can check for anything, including tags or whatnot.
stage ('Deploy') {
when {
expression {
GIT_BRANCH = sh(returnStdout: true, script: 'git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD').trim()
return (GIT_BRANCH == 'master')
}
}
steps {
echo 'Do stuff/deploy.'
}
}
stage ('Deploy_NonMaster') {
when {
expression {
GIT_BRANCH = sh(returnStdout: true, script: 'git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD').trim()
return !(GIT_BRANCH == 'master')
}
}
steps {
echo 'Do stuff/deploy.'
}
}
For example:
var output=sh "echo foo";
echo "output=$output";
I will get:
output=0
So, apparently I get the exit code rather than the stdout. Is it possible to capture the stdout into a pipeline variable, such that I could get:
output=foo
as my result?
Now, the sh step supports returning stdout by supplying the parameter returnStdout.
// These should all be performed at the point where you've
// checked out your sources on the slave. A 'git' executable
// must be available.
// Most typical, if you're not cloning into a sub directory
gitCommit = sh(returnStdout: true, script: 'git rev-parse HEAD').trim()
// short SHA, possibly better for chat notifications, etc.
shortCommit = gitCommit.take(6)
See this example.
Note: The linked Jenkins issue has since been solved.
As mention in JENKINS-26133 it was not possible to get shell output as a variable. As a workaround suggested using of writ-read from temporary file. So, your example would have looked like:
sh "echo foo > result";
def output=readFile('result').trim()
echo "output=$output";
Try this:
def get_git_sha(git_dir='') {
dir(git_dir) {
return sh(returnStdout: true, script: 'git rev-parse HEAD').trim()
}
}
node(BUILD_NODE) {
...
repo_SHA = get_git_sha('src/FooBar.git')
echo repo_SHA
...
}
Tested on:
Jenkins ver. 2.19.1
Pipeline 2.4
You can try to use as well this functions to capture StdErr StdOut and return code.
def runShell(String command){
def responseCode = sh returnStatus: true, script: "${command} &> tmp.txt"
def output = readFile(file: "tmp.txt")
if (responseCode != 0){
println "[ERROR] ${output}"
throw new Exception("${output}")
}else{
return "${output}"
}
}
Notice:
&>name means 1>name 2>name -- redirect stdout and stderr to the file name
I had the same issue and tried almost everything then found after I came to know I was trying it in the wrong block. I was trying it in steps block whereas it needs to be in the environment block.
stage('Release') {
environment {
my_var = sh(script: "/bin/bash ${assign_version} || ls ", , returnStdout: true).trim()
}
steps {
println my_var
}
}
A short version would be:
echo sh(script: 'ls -al', returnStdout: true).result
def listing = sh script: 'ls -la /', returnStdout:true
