My Jenkins (1.539 on RHEL) job, named "Parent-Job", is configured to "Trigger/call builds on other projects"; the project triggered is named "Child-Job".

Jenkins "console output" shows the proper output (plain text with HTML links to the Child-Job that was triggered), as shown below: 

Console Output

Started by user Rodin, A
[EnvInject] - Loading node environment variables.
Building on master in workspace /var/test/build/jendev_home/jobs/Parent-Job/workspace
No emails were triggered.
Waiting for the completion of Child-Job
Child-Job #44 completed. Result was SUCCESS
...

But in the "log" file in the build directory, the links that were present in the console output are all encoded, and I am unable to parse these links because the encoded text does not match expected value, as shown below:

Building on master in workspace /var/test/...
No emails were triggered.
Waiting for the completion of ESC[8mha:A..._very_long_encoded_value_...9M1g0N0AcApv0yfqQAAAA=ESC[0mChild-Job
...

How can I extract the text of the console output, exactly in the same plain text/html format as is displayed on the Jenkins console?

I need to email the log to various users, and long encoded links in the attachment will make them overlook other important details in the log file.

You can get the console output with the wget command (in a post build step script):

wget -O my_console.log ${BUILD_URL}consoleText

  • **Thanks! This worked.** Had to tweak it a little for the authentication etc. but in the end, the fact that the consoleText can directly be fetched using wget really helped! – zgsh May 21 '15 at 19:37
