How to get list of changed files since last build in Jenkins/Hudson

Question

I have set up Jenkins, but I would like to find out what files were added/changed between the current build and the previous build. I\'d like to run some long running tests

Answer 1

I have done it the following way. I am not sure if that is the right way, but it seems to be working. You need to get the Jenkins Groovy plugin installed and do the following script.

import hudson.model.*;
import hudson.util.*;
import hudson.scm.*;
import hudson.plugins.accurev.*

def thr = Thread.currentThread();
def build = thr?.executable;

def changeSet= build.getChangeSet();

changeSet.getItems();

ChangeSet.getItems() gives you the changes. Since I use accurev, I did List accurevTransList = changeSet.getItems();.

Here, the modified list contains duplicate files/names if it has been committed more than once during the current build window.
