i am adding a parameter to jenkins parameter type stashed file. When i do a cat that works fine but if i want to save the file contents to a variable it fails
echo "File check..."
script {
unstash 'testFile1'
sh 'cat testFile1'
echo "This works"
content_file = readFile "testFile1"
echo $content_file
}
Error
jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.actions.ErrorAction$ErrorId:
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: $content_file for class: groovy.lang.Binding
at groovy.lang.Binding.getVariable(Binding.java:63)
Is there a way to read the file contents to a variable ?
Jenkins DSL is based on Groovy and in Groovy, unlike bash, you don't need to add $
to reference a variable:
echo "File check..."
script {
unstash 'testFile1'
sh 'cat testFile1'
echo "This works"
content_file = readFile "testFile1"
echo content_file
}
