How to get svn version number from checkout for use in dsl

Question

I created a pipeline job and would like to get the svn version number to enable further downstream processing in a call to a shell script. I am using a pipeline script similar to the following:

node {
   // Mark the code checkout 'stage'....
   stage 'Checkout'

   // Get some code from a SVM repository
   checkout(
       [
           $class: 'SubversionSCM', 
           additionalCredentials: [], 
           excludedCommitMessages: '', 
           excludedRegions: '', 
           excludedRevprop: '', 
           excludedUsers: '', 
           filterChangelog: false, 
           ignoreDirPropChanges: false, 
           includedRegions: '', 
           locations: [
               [
                   ...
                ]
            ], 
            workspaceUpdater: [$class: 'UpdateUpdater']
        ]
    )
    def svnversionnumber=${SVN_VERSION}



   sh "/.../someshellscript ${svnversionnumber};"
}

Is there documentation on the checkout function available? Is it possible to get hold of the svn revision number? I can see that the revision is output to the log.

I had the same issue, but you can solve it by using the map that is returned from calling SCM checkout. It contains a value for SVN_REVISION.

// Get some code from a SVM repository
def scmVars = checkout(
  ...
)

def svnversionnumber = scmVars.SVN_REVISION
