Hi Timea Antal thanks for raising this. I do want to think about this as I think it is a good use case. For now I think you can read the file via existing pipeline functions and supply the text to the existing field. When I get home I can provide an example.

However this will have to wait for a bit. Hope you understand. Thanks.

Hi Mez Pahlan! Thanks for the quick reply. If there is a workaround for it, and an example of how to do it, than it would be great, I can live with that for a while. Thanks!

Hi Timea Antal apologies for the delay. I think something like this might work.

 
                                                                def changes = readFile 'path/to/changelog.md'

And then use this variable in a GString as the input to the AppCenter plugin

 
                                                                appCenter releaseNotes: "${changes}" 
                                                            

Note that this is a GString that support interpolation and not a regular string that doesn't.

Also note I haven't had time to try this but I have used this Pipeline step in the past to do similar things.

Let me know how you get on

Hi [~timmi88] apologies for the delay. I think something like this _might_ work.

{code:groovy}

def changes = readFile 'path/to/changelog.md'

{code}

And then use this variable in a GString as the input to the AppCenter plugin

{code:groovy}appCenter releaseNotes: "${changes}"{code}

Note that this is a GString that support supports string interpolation and not a regular string that doesn't.

The other possibility is using https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/EnvInject+Plugin to read the file into an env variable and reference this variable in appcenter release notes property
