expose "Stream Codeline" as an environment variable
Issue Type: Improvement Improvement
Assignee: Unassigned
Attachments: Stream_Codeline.png
Components: p4-plugin
Created: 2016/Oct/19 12:22 PM
Priority: Minor Minor
Reporter: Heiko Nardmann

I retrieve the pipeline script from SCM. See attached screenshot for context.
Now it would be helpful to be able to use the value of (at least) "Stream Codeline" inside my pipeline script.

As far as I understand this is not possible so far?

Re: expose "Stream Codeline" as an environment variable

Still not possible but a possible workaround is to use P4Groovy. For example:

def p4 = p4(credential: 'MyCredential', workspace: staticSpec(charset: 'none', name: env.P4_CLIENT))
def myClient = p4.fetch('client', env.P4_CLIENT)
println ("Stream is: " + myClient.get("Stream") )

The output seen is:

Stream is: //streams/main

Re: expose "Stream Codeline" as an environment variable

Reports that this does not work when libraries have been loaded first.

 

e.g.

 

import GLOBAL Lib
...
p4sync

 

Need to confirm with a test case.

Re: expose "Stream Codeline" as an environment variable

Using the following Jenkinsfile the global library is used and the correct stream is derived:

@Library('my-shared-library')
import org.foo.lib.*pipeline {
  agent { label 'Windows10' }
  stages {
    stage("Repro") {
      steps {
        script {
           echo "This library just prints HELLO FROM testFunc version 1."
	   def z = new org.foo.lib()
           z.testFunc()           echo "This shows that the slave contains the correct files with an explicit sync."
	   bat 'dir'
	   bat 'echo WS IS %P4_CLIENT%'
           
	   echo "This tries to get the stream name"
	   def p4 = p4(credential: 'JenkinsMaster', workspace: staticSpec(charset: 'none', name: env.P4_CLIENT))
	   def myClient = p4.fetch('client', env.P4_CLIENT)
	   println ("Stream is: " + myClient.get("Stream") )
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

This results in:

I have tried with the "node" element and this does not work. No files are synced!

 

 

@Library('my-shared-library')
import org.foo.lib.*pipeline {
  node{ 'Windows10' }
    stage("Repro") {
           echo "This library just prints HELLO FROM testFunc version 1."
	   def z = new org.foo.lib()
           z.testFunc()           echo "This shows that the slave contains the correct files with an explicit sync."
	   bat 'dir'
	   bat 'echo WS IS %P4_CLIENT%'
           
	   echo "This tries to get the stream name"
	   def p4 = p4(credential: 'JenkinsMaster', workspace: staticSpec(charset: 'none', name: env.P4_CLIENT))
	   def myClient = p4.fetch('client', env.P4_CLIENT)
	   println ("Stream is: " + myClient.get("Stream") )
  }
}

Re: expose "Stream Codeline" as an environment variable

Confirmation that the workaround is not valid when using scripted pipeline. Scripted pipeline does not do the implicit sync so P4CLIENT is either null or if using global libraries the temporary client for the global library.

However as P4CLIENT is not set it's questionable if 'P4_STREAM' (if it existed) would be availble until 'p4sync' is invoked which would need to know the STREAM name to run.

Re: expose "Stream Codeline" as an environment variable

Might be able to store the Perforce Depot path to the Jenkinsfile.  (Need to consider lightweight checkout where no client is used)

This feature does not work as expected.

ff you have a global library import, the variable "JENKINSFILE_PATH" contains the path to the global library + "/Jenkinsfile"

Re: expose "Stream Codeline" as an environment variable

Tried different ways with a multibranch pipeline using global library and Jenkinsfile. Here are the findings:

If the Jenkinsfile is doing a skipDefaultCheckout, the JENKINSFILE_PATH will not be set. This is observed irrespective of whether the pipeline uses global library or not.

If the pipeline uses global library without skipDefaultCheckout, the JENKINSFILE_PATH environment variable will be set.
