hello,

I have the slack & job-dsl plugins installed & configured in my jenkins instance.

I run the seed job for the following my-slack.groovy file:

job("myfolder/myjob") {
steps {
shell("""#!/bin/bash
echo "hello"
""")
}

publishers {
// See https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-34124?focusedCommentId=253825 for an e.g. of how to call 'slackNotifier'. And the
// source code is at: https://github.com/jenkinsci/slack-plugin/blob/slack-2.3/src/main/java/jenkins/plugins/slack/SlackNotifier.java
slackNotifier {
room('#jenkins')

notifySuccess(true)

includeCustomMessage(true)
String buildURL = System.getenv("BUILD_URL")
String otherBuildURL = "\$BUILD_URL"
customMessage("BUILD_URL=\$BUILD_URL buildURL={$buildURL} otherBuildURL=${otherBuildURL}")
}
} // publishers
} // job

(Note that BUILD_URL is listed on the jenkins Available Environment Variables page.)

When I run the job, the notification I receive in my Slack channel has the following text:

BUILD_URL=http://jenkins-ui:8080/job/myfolder/job/myjob/12/ buildURL=null otherBuildURL=http://jenkins-ui:8080/job/myfolder/job/myjob/12/

But what I would like to do is (when myjob is run - not when the seed job is run) be able to get a copy of BUILD_URL and edit the copy and include that in customMessage. Is there any way to do that? (e.g. perhaps with the Scriptler Plugin?)

e.g. when I add the following code to my-slack.groovy (right after the line where otherBuildURL is initially declared):

otherBuildURL += "console"

then I get this in the Slack notification:

otherBuildURL=$BUILD_URLconsole

To sum this up: what I'm going for is whenever myjob is run, I would like the Slack notification text to include a link to the console output - e.g.:

http://jenkins-ui:8080/job/myfolder/job/myjob/12/console

(Please let me know if I should instead direct this post somewhere else - e.g. the job-dsl-plugin group.)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
