Jenkins Email-ext help - accessing build log in email

[Ghazi TRIKI]

Hello,

I am helping Siva on a Jenkins build task. We wrote a pipeline email function that get log and puts it to email. The issue we have is that we tried using BUILD_LOG_EXCERPT and BUILD_LOG variables but get the following exception. Can you help us please?

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
WorkflowScript: 17: unexpected token: BUILD_LOG_EXCERPT @ line 17, column 11.
         <pre>${BUILD_LOG_EXCERPT, start="^Hello World", end="^Finished: SUCCESS"}</pre>""",

If you are including this in a pipeline script, you need to make sure and use single quotes or escape the $. Groovy will try and evaluate that if you use double quotes.

Use single quotes instead of double quotes, I don't know how else to say it.

I am attaching the whole groovy Syntax I am using to get an email notification when build is started I also want to include some part of console log starting from Hello World to Finished Success.

When I try with single quotes I end up this 

ERROR:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
WorkflowScript: 17: unexpected token: BUILD_LOG_EXCERPT @ line 17, column 12.
   	  '<pre>${BUILD_LOG_EXCERPT, start="^Hello World", end="^Finished: SUCCESS"}</pre>'""",

GROOVY SYNTAX

node {

   echo 'Hello World'

}

node {

  notifyStarted()

  /* ... existing build steps ... */

}

properties = ([data])

def notifyStarted() {

   emailext (

      subject: "STARTED: Job '${env.JOB_NAME} [${env.BUILD_NUMBER}]'",

      body: """<p>STARTED: Job '${env.JOB_NAME} [${env.BUILD_NUMBER}]':</p>

 <p>Check console output at &QUOT;<a href='${env.BUILD_URL}consoleText'>${env.JOB_NAME} [${env.BUILD_NUMBER}]</a>&QUOT;</p>""",

 '<pre>${BUILD_LOG_EXCERPT, start="^Hello World", end="^Finished: SUCCESS"}</pre>'

     to: 'sivaver...@ncr.com'

    )

}

body : """..."""

You are using double quotes...use single quotes

body : '''...'''
