Get git branch name in Jenkins Pipeline/Jenkinsfile
If you have a jenkinsfile for your pipeline, check if you see at execution time your branch name in your environment variables.
You can print them with:
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
DISABLE_AUTH = 'true'
DB_ENGINE = 'sqlite'
}
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
sh 'printenv'
}
}
}
}
However, PR 91 shows that the branch name is only set in certain pipeline configurations:
- Branch Conditional (see this groovy script)
- parallel branches pipeline (as seen by the OP)
Use multibranch pipeline job type, not the plain pipeline job type. The multibranch pipeline jobs do posess the environment variable env.BRANCH_NAME
which describes the branch.
In my script..
stage('Build') {
node {
echo 'Pulling...' + env.BRANCH_NAME
checkout scm
}
}
Yields...
Pulling...master
