Using variables within the Jenkins email subject lines ?

[Tom80112]

I would like to use variables within Jenkins email subject lines.

I am using the "editable email notification" plugin.

Instead of having a set-in-stone email subject line, I would like define
the subject line using a variable that I define based upon the job's
execution.

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm using this subject: Projec ${ENV,var="releaseVersion"} has been released
And releaseVersion is variable typed in by the user launching the job, now i'm not sure if you can actually create a variable during the job execution (from a shell script) and use it.

You can use vars generated with a shell script. What we do is write them to a file, then use the "Inject environment variables" plugin.

email-ext or the normal emailer?

I loaded the EnvInject plugin and tried that before posting here.

Inside the shell script section, I set a variable called "subject" to to a
different
text string depending on outcomes within the shell script section.

I then did a printf "subject=$subject\n" >tmp.env

I then specified tmp.env on the first line of the EnvInject. This is all I
did for the EnvInject block. Did I need to fill in anything else?

I then used "editable email" and placed $subject in the subject line.
The email came in with a subject line of: $subject (not evaluated)

Try ${ENV, var="subject"}
