Jenkinsfile - get all changes between builds

Question

With reference to this question is there a way to get the equivalent information from when using the mult-branch pipeline? Specifically - the list of commits since the last succ

I think Jenkins Last changes plugin can provide the information you need, take a look here: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Last+Changes+Plugin, following is an example:

node {
      stage("checkout") {
        git url: 'https://github.com/jenkinsci/last-changes-plugin.git'
      }

      stage("last-changes") {
        def publisher = LastChanges.getLastChangesPublisher "LAST_SUCCESSFUL_BUILD", "SIDE", "LINE", true, true, "", "", "", "", ""
              publisher.publishLastChanges()
              def changes = publisher.getLastChanges()
              println(changes.getEscapedDiff())
              for (commit in changes.getCommits()) {
                  println(commit)
                  def commitInfo = commit.getCommitInfo()
                  println(commitInfo)
                  println(commitInfo.getCommitMessage())
                  println(commit.getChanges())
              }
      }

}

Note that by default (without the need for groovy scripting) the plugin makes the list of commits available for browsing on the jenkins UI, see here.

I hope it helps.
