I'm new to jenkins and groovy and I'm trying to create my own configuration which allows me to build my project with various parameters. To achieve that I use Active Choices Reactive Reference Parameter. As a Choice Type I set "Formatted HTML". It looks exactly as I want but unfortunately, no mater what, I cannot return parameters to build.
This is my groovy script:
if(useDefaultValues.equals("YES")) {
return "defaultName"
} else {
inputBox = "<input name='name' class='setting-input' type='text'>"
return inputBox
}
Can anyone help me with this please?
Update your Groovy script to something like this:
def defaultName = "default name"
if (useDefaultValues.equals("YES")) {
return "<b>${defaultName}</b><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"value\" value=\"${defaultName}\" />"
}
return "<input name=\"value\" class=\"setting-input\" type=\"text\">"
It's important that your input field uses name value
- it does not change your parameter name, and if you named it name
you will be able to access it as $name
(if you use Groovy for instance).
It is also important that default value is passed as a hidden input field, otherwise parameter value is not set. This hidden input also has to use name value
.
However there is one weird problem with HTML formatted input parameter - it always adds ,
in the end of the parameter value. So for instance if I pass lorem ipsum
, when I read it with the parameter $name
I will get lorem ipsum,
. It looks like it treats it as a multiple parameters or something. To extract clean value from the parameter you can do something like (Groovy code):
name.split(',').first()
def defaultName = "default name"
if (useDefaultValues.equals("YES")) {
return "<input type=\"text\" name=\"value\" value=\"${defaultName}\" />"
}
return "<input name=\"value\" type=\"text\">"
Check "Omit value field" fixed comma problem.(comma issue)
