[FIXED] Create post status notification method for all pipelines

Issue

thanks in advance for the help.

For our project, for which we use Jenkins, I'm working on a shared library to house all methods for our different pipelines (3 different ones). Currently I'm facing an issue, that I don't really know how to solve.

I configured the jenkins-mattermost-plugin for the project. Ideally, I'd like to create one method for the post task in Jenkins that takes currentBuild.currentResult as an argument and returns the corresponding condition block and its message.

Ex:

• if success:

  success {
    mattermostSend(...success build notification)
  }
}

• if failure:

  failure {
    mattermostSend(...failure build notification)
  }
}

• etc.

The problem is not writing the method itself, but when to call it in the pipeline. I can't call it in a stage block, not without any block wrapper.

I hope this makes sense what I'm trying to say.

Solution

You can call the function in always post-condition:

   post {
        always {
                mattermostSend("${currentBuild.currentResult}")
        }
    }

Then inside mattermostSend create condition which depending on the build result will send the required message.
