How to place Email-Ext groovy script on the jenkins file system

Question

I need to dynamically modify the notification e-mail recipients based on the build, so I'm using a groovy script. I want this script to be available to all jobs, so I want it to reside on the Jenkins file system and not within each project. It can be either in the recipients fields (using ${SCRIPT,...}) or in the pre-send script. A short (fixed) script that evaluates the master script is also good, as long it is the same for all projects.

Answer 1

You should try Config File Provider plugin. It works together with the Credentials configuration of Jenkins.

• Go to Manage Jenkins > Managed files
• Click Add a new Config
• Select Groovy file
• Enter the contents of your script

Your script will now be saved centrally on Jenkins, available to master/slave nodes.

In your Job Configuration:

• Under Build Environment
• Check Provide Configuration file
• Select your configured groovy File from dropdown
• Set Variable with a name, for example: myscript

Now, anywhere in your job, you can say ${myscript} and it will refer to absolute location of the file on filesystem (it will be somewhere in Jenkins dir).
