This is inside my trigger email
SQLScripts=["Query1","Query2","Query3","Query4","Query5","Query6"]
What gets read in string parameter for Jenkins build is following
This line of code executes
echo %SQLScripts%
Prints
echo ["Query1","Query2","Query3",
Initially I thought this could be some problem with how I wrote variable name, I tried $SQLScripts and "$SQLScripts". But problem is with reading the variable from email.
As I have manually added value inside jenkins build configuration and echo printed the entire value.
Please any help is appreciated.
Failing tests resulted in green balls in our "Open Blue Ocean" pipeline overview. When I read the manual (https://doc.froglogic.com/squish/latest/rg-cmdline.html) this is according to specification, but using the --exitCodeOnFail should result in our desired behavior. In our Jenkinsfile we scripted the following:
squish([extraOptions: """--tags
${tag}
--retry
2
--config
addAppPath
${squishsrcdir}
--config
addAUT
startSimProApp.bat
${squishsrcdir}
--exitCodeOnFail
-666
--config
setResponseTimeout
30""", squishPackageName: 'squish for qt 6.5.2', testSuite: "${squishsrcdir}", unstableBuildOnError: true])
Unfortunately this results in the following error:
com.froglogic.squish.SquishException: unknown option --exitCodeOnFail
The squish plug-in version is: 8.1.1
What are my options to get red balls when a test fails under squish?
The --exitCodeOnFail option is not supported by the Squish plugin.
Take a look at https://doc.froglogic.com/squish/latest/ao-hudson.html#ao-jenkins-example-pipeline-jobs
The squish step sets neither build nor stage result. It returns the execution results as a string instead. Your pipeline may act based on the returned value. You can find an example on the last screenshot in the linked above chapter.
Squish has a known issue (reported and expected to be solved) in matching returned Squish test suite execution status with retries with the final result of the job. For example, if your test fails during first retry and get passed in the next retry, the final status of the job will remain as unstable/failed.
in Jenkins file one of the variable is having the comma separated values like below.
infra_services=[abc,def,xyz]
when I write the below code it was throwing an error.
if ("{$Infra_Services}".contains("xyz"))
then
echo "$Infra_Services"
fi
yes you can do if statements in a Jenkinsfile. However if you are using declarative pipeline you need to brace it with the step script.
Your issue comes from the fact you did not put any double quotes around "abc" and all the elements of your array
infra_services=[abc,def,xyz]
A second error will raise after you fix this. If infra_services is an array, to manipulate it you should not try to cast it as string. It should throw when you do "{$Infra_Services}"
here is a working example
def Infra_Services = ["abc","def","xyz"]
if (Infra_Services.contains("xyz")) {
println "found"
}
My advice is to test your groovy before running it on jenkins, you will gain precious time. Here is a good online groovy console I use to test my code. running the groovy console from terminal is an alternative

We use clover for code coverage testing but it interferes with stack traces and error information. I want to be able to use cloverGenerateReport when doing automated builds via jenkins but to skip this step entirely when doing local builds.
I've tried the various suggestions from searches for 'gradle optional dependencies' but I can't seem to get clover completely out of the way.
Suggestions?
You can use the method onlyIf.
cloverGenerateReport.onlyIf {
project.hasProperty('enableClover') ? Boolean.valueOf(project.getProperty('enableClover')) : false
}
On the command line you can enable it by providing the project property:
gradle cloverGenerateReport -PenableClover=true
One solution would be to check if the environment variable "JENKINS_HOME" exists. If it does, then set cloverGenerateReport as a dependency to another task.
In your build.gradle:
def env = System.getenv()
if(env.containsKey('JENKINS_HOME')){
reportTask.dependsOn cloverGenerateReport
}
How can I get build time stamp of the latest build from Jenkins?
I want to insert this value in the Email subject in post build actions.
Build Timestamp Plugin will be the Best Answer to get the TIMESTAMPS in the Build process.
Follow the below Simple steps to get the "BUILD_TIMESTAMP" variable enabled.
STEP 1:
Manage Jenkins -> Plugin Manager -> Installed...
Search for "Build Timestamp Plugin".
Install with or without Restart.
STEP 2:
Manage Jenkins -> Configure System.
Search for 'Build Timestamp' section, then Enable the CHECKBOX.
Select the TIMEZONE, TIME format you want to setup with..Save the Page.
USAGE:
When Configuring the Build with ANT or MAVEN,
Please declare a Global variable as,
E.G. btime=${BUILD_TIMESTAMP}
(use this in your Properties box in ANT or MAVEN Build Section)
use 'btime' in your Code to any String Variables etc..
NOTE: This changed in Jenkins 1.597, Please see here for more info regarding the migration
You should be able to view all the global environment variables that are available during the build by navigating to https://<your-jenkins>/env-vars.html.
Replace https://<your-jenkins>/ with the URL you use to get to Jenkins webpage (for example, it could be http://localhost:8080/env-vars.html).
One of the environment variables is :
BUILD_ID
The current build id, such as "2005-08-22_23-59-59" (YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss)
If you use jenkins editable email notification, you should be able to use ${ENV, var="BUILD_ID"} in the subject line of your email.
One way this can be done is using shell script in global environment section, here, I am using UNIX timestamp but you can use any shell script syntax compatible time format:
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
def BUILDVERSION = sh(script: "echo `date +%s`", returnStdout: true).trim()
}
stages {
stage("Awesome Stage") {
steps {
echo "Current build version :: $BUILDVERSION"
}
}
}
}
Try use Build Timestamp Plugin and use BUILD_TIMESTAMP variable.
Generate environment variables from script (Unix script) :
echo "BUILD_DATE=$(date +%F-%T)"
I know its late replying to this question, but I have recently found a better solution to this problem without installing any plugin. We can create a formatted version number and can then use the variable created to display the build date/time.
Steps to create: Build Environment --> Create a formatted version number:
Environment Variable Name: BUILD_DATE
Version Number Format String: ${BUILD_DATE_FORMATTED}
thats it. Just use the variable created above in the email subject line as ${ENV, var="BUILD_DATE"} and you will get the date/time of the current build.
You can use the Jenkins object to fetch the start time directly
Jenkins.getInstance().getItemByFullName(<your_job_name>).getBuildByNumber(<your_build_number>).getTime()
also answered it here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/63074829/1968948
BUILD_ID used to provide this information but they changed it to provide the Build Number since Jenkins 1.597. Refer this for more information.
You can achieve this using the Build Time Stamp plugin as pointed out in the other answers.
However, if you are not allowed or not willing to use a plugin, follow the below method:
def BUILD_TIMESTAMP = null
withCredentials([usernamePassword(credentialsId: 'JenkinsCredentials', passwordVariable: 'JENKINS_PASSWORD', usernameVariable: 'JENKINS_USERNAME')]) {
sh(script: "curl https://${JENKINS_USERNAME}:${JENKINS_PASSWORD}#<JENKINS_URL>/job/<JOB_NAME>/lastBuild/buildTimestamp", returnStdout: true).trim();
}
println BUILD_TIMESTAMP
This might seem a bit of overkill but manages to get the job done.
The credentials for accessing your Jenkins should be added and the id needs to be passed in the withCredentials statement, in place of 'JenkinsCredentials'. Feel free to omit that step if your Jenkins doesn't use authentication.
This answer below shows another method using "regexp feature of the Description Setter Plugin" which solved my problem as I could not install new plugins on Jenkins due to permission issues:
Use build timestamp in setting build description Jenkins
If you want add a timestamp to every request from browser to jenkins server.
You can refer to the jenkins crumb issuer mechanism, and you can hack the /scripts/hudson-behavior.js add modify here. so it will transform a timestamp to server.
/**
* Puts a hidden input field to the form so that the form submission will have the crumb value
*/
appendToForm : function(form) {
// add here. ..... you code
if(this.fieldName==null) return; // noop
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML = "<input type=hidden name='"+this.fieldName+"' value='"+this.value+"'>";
form.appendChild(div);
}
