Jenkins / JENKINS-33301 git-changelog: specifying references Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Paul Wellner Bou Components: git-changelog-plugin Created: 03/Mar/16 3:59 PM Environment: Jenkins: 1.642.1 git-changelog-plugin: 1.3 Labels: git plugin changelog Priority: Minor Reporter: Martin Kulich Hi! It would be very helpful if the plugin could serve for generating changelog since last build / last successful build and so on. It would include specifying 'from' reference as 'last successful build' / ... and 'to' reference as 'current build'. Does it make sense? If I could be helpful with solving this ticket, please let me know. Add Comment

Re: git-changelog: specifying references Hi Martin, sure, this may make sense. But there is already a functionality in Jenkins showing you the changelog since the last build (not sure if you can tell him since last successful build though). I will have a look into this anyhow. This plugin is a combination of Thomas' and mine code, so there are two post build steps doing similar stuff, with different configuration and totally separated code behind, there is "Git changelog", "Publish git changelog" and "Publish JIRA filter". Which post build action are you using?

Re: git-changelog: specifying references Hi Paul, I know of the functionality Jenkins provides, however, it's not customizable in terms of specifying custom log format. I hoped I could use your plugin for that I'm using "Git changelog" post-build action as it seems the most customizable.

Re: git-changelog: specifying references Sure, it is possible to do that. I assign this issue to Thomas, as this is his code. Although it would be cool to share at least part of the forms. If I find the time, I will have a look into it.

Sure, it is possible to do that.

I  assign this issue  will try  to  Thomas  contact Tomas Bjerre , as this is his code. Although it would be cool to share at least part of the forms.

If I find the time, I will have a look into it.

Re: git-changelog: specifying references Are you using the Git Plugin? If so, you should be able to use the environment variables. Specify from commit as $ {GIT_COMMIT} and to commit as $ {GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT} https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin

Re: git-changelog: specifying references Tomas Bjerre: Sure, but that would not affect the "last build" or "last successful build". I am quite sure you can do this with a groovy script and https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/EnvInject+Plugin, at least as workaround, somehow.

Re: git-changelog: specifying references Martin Kulich: Is your problem solved with setting from GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT and to GIT_COMMIT? Paul Wellner Bou: I dont understand what you mean here. He wrote "It would include specifying 'from' reference as 'last successful build' / ... and 'to' reference as 'current build'. ". And the from/to fields are expanded (https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-changelog-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jenkinsci/plugins/gitchangelog/perform/GitChangelogPerformer.java#L157) so the variables from Git Plugin should be available. I interpret the issue as if he wants to have this changelog on the current build, which is the one building GIT_COMMIT.

Re: git-changelog: specifying references Tomas Bjerre: Maybe I am wrong: The GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT will expand to the previous commit (meaning HEAD^1), or to the commit of the last build of this same jenkins project? If the latter is the case, you would still have to find out the commit of the last successful build, if the last build wasn't.

Re: git-changelog: specifying references GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT is the previous built commit, so perhaps HEAD^1 but it can be any parent. Ok I see, i interpreted it as if he needed to have from as "successful" OR "not successful". Which is == true for GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT. He may use GIT_PREVIOUS_SUCCESSFUL_COMMIT to be sure that he uses the last successful.

Re: git-changelog: specifying references Hi guys, thank you both for your comments. I will definitely try the way Tomas suggests, I wasn't aware of the variables. Maybe it would be helpful to mention it in docs? Thanks again!

Re: git-changelog: specifying references GIT_PREVIOUS_SUCCESSFUL_COMMIT is not available, I only see these in my Windows environment: GIT_BRANCH=origin/master GIT_COMMIT=a781fbc49bda7083ebc05e28cee60de4e4258b17 GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT=a781fbc49bda7083ebc05e28cee60de4e4258b17 GIT_URL=http://github.ooop.com/DevOps/Sample.git And I am having this issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36016043/how-to-set-up-git-changelog-in-jenkins

Re: git-changelog: specifying references I guess you are refering to the printout from "GIt Publisher". Try to use the variables in "Git Changelog" task.

Re: git-changelog: specifying references Tomas Bjerre, I don't understand. My screenshot clearly has "Publish Git changelog" right under the Post-build actions, why you keep thinking I am using the Git Publisher? Git Publisher has a completely different UI.
