Declarative pipeline: access JenkinsLocationConfiguration.getAdminAddress()?

[Jon Dufresne]

Hi,

I have several multibranch pipeline jobs that all use a declarative pipeline. The Jenkinsfiles contain the following snippet:

post {
    failure {
      step([$class: 'Mailer', recipients: 'c...@example.com', sendToIndividuals: true])
    }
  }

I would like to avoid hard coding the address "c...@example.com" in all Jenkinsfiles. It is repetitive and is also incorrect when testing on a staging server or in a VM.

It occurred to me that one option could be to send to the address "JenkinsLocationConfiguration.getAdminAddress()" [0], as this is configured correctly in all scenarios listed above.

Is there an easy way to access this value from a Jenkinsfile? Is it available as some local or environment variable? A normal groovy import and method call didn't work and instead raised an exception.

If there is a better way to configure this globally, I'd consider that as well.

Cheers,

Jon

You can access it via:

hudson.model.JenkinsLocationConfiguration.get().getAdminAddress()

You could also define a global variable on Jenkins and access it as "env.JENKINS_EMAIL".

To take it a step further, you can encapsulate the whole thing in a library using Global Shared Library plugin:

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I gave this a shot. It results in the following error:

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: hudson for class: groovy.lang.Binding

But I think the fix is to change hudson to jenkins. So I tried this and get the following results:

org.jenkinsci.plugins.scriptsecurity.sandbox.RejectedAccessException: Scripts not permitted to use staticMethod jenkins.model.JenkinsLocationConfiguration get

So I think they is still something missing. Not sure how best to proceed. Is it not so common to access the default admin email address in a Jenkinsfiles?

I don't think it is common indeed, or at least I don't remember anything about it. You could file an issue in the tracker about it, and possibly see to propose a PR, that shouldn't be too involved I guess. It's likely to be more a matter of choosing wisely where/if to make it available.
