Jenkins pipeline branch name returns null
My workaround, Don't know if work for someone else..
def branchName = getCurrentBranch()
echo 'My branch is' + branchName
def getCurrentBranch () {
return sh (
script: 'git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD',
returnStdout: true
).trim()
}
This variable only works in a multibranch pipline:
BRANCH_NAME For a multibranch project, this will be set to the name of the branch being built, for example in case you wish to deploy to production from master but not from feature branches.
I was testing in a normal pipline
In Jenkins there is two pipeline options:
- New Item -> Pipeline -->
env.BRANCH_NAME
return branchnull
- New Item -> Multibranch Pipeline -->
env.BRANCH_NAME
return branchmaster or branch name
