Jenkins email ext jelly script include file contents

Question

Can I display the contents of another file in my jelly script output?

@StéphaneBruckert unfortunately I was busy with other stuff with this on hold, I'll update the description once I test it, thanks. — Rnet, Jul 11 '13 at 19:19

Yes, you can use the ${FILE, path} token to include the contents of a file (path is relative to your workspace directory).

This info is taken from the Content Token Reference in the email-ext part of your job configuration. Click the question mark on the right to get the full list of tokens.

Unfortunately that token cannot be used 'inside' a jelly script. I already have a custom jelly script, I'm looking for a way to populate parts of that custom template – Rnet Jun 28 '13 at 21:54

If the file is included in the workspace of the job, declare your variable such as:

<j:set var="fileContent" value="${build.getWorkspace().child("results.html")}"/>

And call it this way:

${fileContent}

This appears to get the file path rather then the contents when i use it? – Ne0 Apr 10 '15 at 09:58

Look at util:loadText which is a "tag which loads text from a file or URI into a Jelly variable."

<u:loadText var="contents" file="${filename}"/>
${contents}

Haven't used it inside of Jenkins before... let us know if it works.

I did use as is above but it didn't work, so instead of using tag ${contents} And it works perfect ! – JRod Jul 07 '21 at 18:27
