I've put all my Jenkins logic in a structured pipeline script (aka Jenkinsfile).
If something goes wrong, i m sending mails. For the subject i want to use the displayName
of the job and not the jobs id env.JOB_NAME
(as they are driven by access control patterns and not readability).
With a normal pipeline job i could use currentBuild.rawBuild.project.displayName
but for multibranch pipelines this is just the branch name.
Or is there a even better way to get the userfriendly name, then traversing the rawBuild?
For now i found no convinient public api, so this seems to be the way to go:
String getDisplayName(currentBuild) {
def project = currentBuild.rawBuild.project
// for multibranch pipelines
if (project.parent instanceof WorkflowMultiBranchProject) {
return "${project.parent.displayName} (${project.displayName})"
} else {
// for all other projects
return project.displayName
}
}
