Workflow: extract git revision and build a timestamp

[Jens Wilke]

Hi all,

for extracting a git revision and building a timestamp at the beginning of a job I have now the following code:

stage 'build'

node {

  git '....'

  sh 'xy=`git rev-parse HEAD | cut -c1-11`; echo -n $xy > git-revision'

  def rev11 = readFile 'git-revision' 

  echo "Git revision ${rev11}"

  def stamp = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat('yyyyMMddHHmmss').format(new Date())

  echo stamp

  ...

}

At least building the git revision seams quite complicated. It would be great when the git SCM plugin sets the revision as a variable.

Is there a more crispy solution for this?

Cheers,

Jens

I do believe the plugin sets the var you want.  have a look at
