Is it possible to capture the stdout from the sh DSL command in the pipeline
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
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=$output";
You can try to use as well this functions to capture StdErr StdOut and return code.
def runShell(String command){
def responseCode = sh returnStatus: true, script: "${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
