[FIXED] Stripping GIT_BRANCH to get the verison

Issue

I have branch with this format: release/1.0.0

When I use ${GIT_BRANCH}, I get the following: origin/release/1.0.0

I have tried using EnvInj to set a variable like this:

If I leave ${GIT_BRANCH} the way it is it works fine, but if i use ${GIT_BRANCH, fullName=false}. It is always a empty string.

I have also tried using: How to receive local Git branch name with Jenkins Git plugin?

What is correct format to get just 1.0.0.0-rc134

Solution

You can always write a small bash script to get this done.

1. Use a execute shell build step

   echo "RELEASECANDIDATE=${GIT_BRANCH##*/}-rc${BUILD_NUMBER}" > ${WORKSPACE}/inject.txt
   

2. Use a Inject shell and in the properties file section give the file name

   ${WORKSPACE}/inject.txt
   

3. Finally in the update build name , use macro below variable

   ${RELEASECANDIDATE}
   

This should get you correct value as expected
