Read versionName of build.gradle from Jenkins

Question

I\'m using Jenkins for my Android app builds. On every build, I get some info, like build number, etc...

I\'m searching a way to read the versionName v

Answer 1

You could do this by adding an Execute Shell step which determines the versionName, and exporting it as an environment variable using the EnvInject Plugin.

Assuming your build.gradle contains:

versionName = myname

You can add this script:

v=$(cat build.gradle  | grep versionName | awk '{print $3}')
echo MY_VERSION_NAME=${v} > env.properties
