[FIXED] Jenkins - how to set Variable value into the zip file name?

Issue

I have a variable, set as global environment, which outputs the timestamp.

echo "Current build version: ${BUILDVERSION}"

Current build version: 20211117-114343

Now I want to add this value to zip step for setting the zip file name and I check the content of the zip file.

            zip zipFile: 'test_${BUILDVERSION}.zip'
            sh 'zipinfo -1 test_${BUILDVERSION}.zip'

ZIP is not created properly: test_${BUILDVERSION}.zip while zipinfo takes this value properly. zipinfo -1 test_20211117-114343.zip

Can you please assist what I do wrong? Thanks

Solution

Solution

Use double quotes. Read about String interpolation in Groovy

zip zipFile: "test_${BUILDVERSION}.zip"
